Melfa.Robot

This is a implementation of Mitsubishi Electronics Factory Automation (MELFA) robot R-protocol client in C#.

The R-protocol is described in BFP-A4288, the version this project consult is BFP-A4288-V (2018/11/15).

Configure the robot controller

Go to "Parameter → Communication Parameterr → Ethernet", Check the "Device & Line" tab.

Make sure one of OPT11 ~ OPT19 is configured as Server. For example:

  • Mode (NETMODE): 1 - Server
  • Port (NETPORT): 12345 # This is the port used to connect to the controller
  • Protocol (OPCE11): 0 - No-procedure # This is probably irrelevant
  • Exit Code (NETTERM): 0 - No-included
  • Packet Type (CTERME): 0 - CR

Usage

Create the robot object

var robot = new MelfaRobot("localhost", 10001, 1); // use the port configured above
robot.Connect();
var info = robot.Open("ClientName");

Do something with the robot

robot.OperationEnabled = true; // CTRLON
robot.ServoOn = true; // SRVON
robot.Override = 10; // OVRD=10
robot.Execute("MOV P1");

Load a program and run

robot.RunProgram("blah");

Clean-up

robot.Close();
robot.Disconnect();
robot.Dispose();

TODO

  • Finish implement of all functionalities
  • Add more error log items (which is tedious...)
