        • (ROBOT-2907) Robot activation may fail if robot is moving when trying to activate (tool
        weight causing movement due to gravity for example). The robot may now post-pone activation by few seconds, waiting until it stopped moving.

         

        IMPORTANT:

        The following behavior changes have been implemented in version 10.1.

        If you are upgrading from a previous version (ex. 10.0 or 9.3), this section will be of particular importance:


        • (ROBOT-2784) In fixing the instabilities issues, the overall speed of the gripper has been reduced.

        In cases where the legacy max gripper velocity is required, ’SetGripperVel’ can accept up to 200%, but will only go to those excess speeds when the gripper force is at 100%.


        • (ROBOT-2939) The method for resuming robot motion using cyclic protocols (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP or Profinet) has changed.

        In addition to clearing ’Pause Motion’ and ’Clear Motion’ bits, resuming motion now also requires to set the ’Resume Motion’ bit.

        This ’Resume Motion’ bit is replacing the previous ’Reset PStop2’ bit in the cyclic data, now that the ’Resume Motion’ command has been generalized. In fact, the ’Resume Motion’ command is now used not only to resume paused motion, but also to recover from safety stop signals (such as PStop2, enabling device released or connection dropped) or recover from collision or work zone event.

        Note that motion is resumed only upon rising edge of the ’Resume Motion’ bit so if, for any reason, the robot is refusing to resume motion (PStop2 signal is still present for example) the application will have to clear the ’Resume Motion’ bit and set it again later.


        • The alpha feature denoted WorkspaceLimits has been deprecated.

        Commands from WorkspaceLimits (SetWorkspaceLimitsCfg, GetWorkspaceLimitsCfg, SetWorkspaceLimits, GetWorkspaceLimits) have been changed for new commands.

        Please refer to the Programming Manual for equivalent commands in the work zone and collision prevention features.

        Version 10.0.4 

        Fixed

        • (ROBOT-2783) Meca500 joint offset after activation without homing.
        • (ROBOT-2811) Mcs500 can’t move to joint 3 limits with MoveLinVel when TRF has Z offset.
        • (ROBOT-2815) MecaPortal visual scaling enhancements.
        • (ROBOT-2823) Missing response to SetTimeScaling.
        • (ROBOT-2832) Some MSIPS R1 power supplies (for Mcs500 robots) generate a fatal error
        after a long press on the reset button.
        • (ROBOT-2833) Robot becomes unresponsive when starting too many large offline programs.
        • (ROBOT-2834) Profinet and EtherNet/IP cyclic data is delayed when starting a large program.

        Version 10.0.3

        Features

        • (ROBOT-892) Support for new Mcs500 Scara robot.
        • (ROBOT-1598) Support for robot calibration (with full DH parameters and more).
        • (ROBOT-2552) Support for time scaling (real-time robot execution speed control without
        affecting the followed trajectory).
        • (ROBOT-2680) Various minor MecaPortal enhancements.
        • (ROBOT-2682) Support for new Mvk01 vacuum and digital IO module for Mcs500 robot.
        New API calls allow to control vacuum and digital IOs.
        • (ROBOT-2700) New MoveJump command for Mcs500 robot.
        • (ROBOT-2746) Pause motion now follows planned path (no more ignores blending).

         

        IMPORTANT:

        The following behavior changes have been implemented in version 10.0.

        If you are upgrading from a previous version (ex. 9.3), this section will be of particular importance:


        • (ROBOT-1687) EtherCAT COE is not supported on Mcs500 robots (though cyclic PDO communication protocol remains the same on both Mcs500 and Meca500 robots).


        • (ROBOT-2641) Behavior of the Delay command has been changed on Mcs500 robots to be more consistent.

        On Meca500 robots, the Delay command is being blended with previous/next commands when executed in joint space but not in Cartesian space.

        On Mcs500 robots, the Delay command is now always causing the robot to come to a complete stop before the requested delay duration starts to be applied.


        • (ROBOT-2746) Robot behavior during PauseMotion and ClearMotion have slightly changed:
        – Deceleration period has been uniformized to 100ms in both Joint and Cartesian
        modes (in Joint mode it used to depend on joint acceleration and could thus take
        very long to stop moving).
        – Deceleration is now made along the planned path, including blending (it used to ignore blending and stop like if blending was always set to 0 percent).

        IMPORTANT:

        The following behavior have been implemented in version 9.

        If you are upgrading from a previous version (ex. 8.4), this section will be of particular importance.

        • (ROBOT-0410) EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT cyclic data format has changed. Some data, previously reported by the robot for every cycle, has been moved and is now available only through new 'Dynamic data'. This includes: Joint velocities, Joint torque ratios, Accelerometer, and Gripper status.
        • (ROBOT-1732) Torque limit status (3028) is sent every time torque limit status changes (exceeded or not) for events severity different than 'no action'. Torque limit error (3029) is also sent if torque limit severity is set to 'error'.
          Responses and messages:
          3028[0|1] Torque limit status (not detected, detected)
          3029 Excessive torque error occurred causing the robot to enter error state.
        • (ROBOT-1815) SetConf Behavior changes in version 9.0.5 related to 'SetConf' and 'SetConfTurn'.
          In version 8, using 'MoveJoints' or 'MoveJointsVel' would override any value previously provided using 'SetConf' / 'SetConfTurn'
          In version 9, 'MoveJoints' and 'MoveJointsVel' will no longer override values provided using 'SetConf' / 'SetConfTurn'.

          If previous behavior is required: use 'SetAutoConf(0)' / 'SetAutoConfTurn(0)' after 'MoveJoints' / 'MoveJointsVel' to update requested conf/turn from new joints position
          'SetAutoConfTurn' is now enabled by default (it was disabled by default, forced to turn 0)

          Behavior change in real-time "conf" ('GetRtTargetConf', 'GetRtConf', and corresponding real-time data codes 2208/2218):
           When the robot position is on a singularity, the conf reported will be 0 (it used to be arbitrary 1 or -1). This is useful for users to know the robot is on a singularity and that position may be considered valid in both conf (+1 or -1). Example, on Wrist singularity the conf could be reported as (1,1,0)
        • (ROBOT-2169) The behavior of linear moves' 180 degrees protection has changed.            
          Old behavior: The robot used to prevent linear moves that caused any joint to move by more than 180 degrees. This was blocking some valid linear moves from being performed.
          New behavior: The robot refuses a linear move if the initial and final orientations are 180 degrees from each other (in which case there is ambiguity about the direction along which the robot end-effector should be rotating).

        Fixed

        • (ROBOT-0820) 'End of offline program' event inconsistent when running multiple programs.

        Version 8.4.9
