Doosan Robot Connectivity Plugin

# Learn How to Connect a Visual Components Model to a Doosan Robot Controller

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Doosan robots connectivity plugin to connect a Visual Components model to a virtual Doosan robot controller running on Dosan Dart Studio software. By using the post-processor, the tutorial will show you how to translate a Visual Components robot program to Doosan’s DRL scripting language.

## Requirements

Before beginning the tutorial, you should have Doosan Dart Studio installed, and the Visual Components connectivity plugin and post-processor add-on must be enabled. The add-on can be downloaded from the Visual Components Forum and installed by extracting the download into your Visual Components my commands folder and restarting the application.

## Checking the Simulation Model

The tutorial will use a simple setup with a Doosan M1013 robot connected to a gripper. The tutorial will explain how to grasp a cylinder and place it on another block. Before proceeding to the program, you will learn how to check the signal connections on the simulation model.

## Post Processing the Robot Program

The tutorial will teach you how to post-process the robot program using the post-process button in the program tab. You will be able to select output file location settings and save the program using the DRL scripting file extension.

## Setting up the Virtual Controller

You will then learn how to set up the virtual controller in Doosan Dart Studio, run the virtual controller, and connect the visual components model to the virtual controller. The tutorial will also show how to configure the tool frame definitions manually and create a new TCP.

## Once One Is Available

Note that currently, the tutorial cannot use the input and wait input signal statements in the robot programs because the Doosan interface the plugin uses does not allow the simulation to write the input signal values. An update will be provided as soon as it is available.

Learn how to connect a Visual Components model to the Doosan robot controller. The post-processor add-on can be used to translate a Visual Components robot program to Doosan’s DRL scripting language. The Doosan controller can be either a real or virtual controller. In this tutorial, the virtual controller is run on Doosan’s DART-Studio software.

NOTE: We currently cannot use the input and wait input signal statements in our robot programs, because the Doosan interface that the plugin uses does not allow the simulation to write the input signal values. We will provide an update as soon one is available.
