碩士 === 龍華科技大學 === 機械工程系碩士班 === 104 === In the design of robotic arms used in factories, the main body and outer section each have its own controller. The outer controller is responsible for logic and signal feedback, while the main controller is responsible for movement execution. With this framework in mind, this study plans to use Visual Studio .Net (2010) as a monitoring program to develop an interface, to utilize the components provided in the linking software to replace the communication protocols adopted in the past to target the connection of the outer programmable logic controller (PLC) of the robotic arm, and to obtain the PLC position status for monitoring and analysis. The main goal of this design is to provide an analytical aid to factory workers when something unexpected happens and to give instant notification when such contingency happens. Through an instant reporting mechanism and interface design with abnormal position logic analysis, the user instantly knows when abnormalities occur. Through this interface, the factory workers can quickly target the abnormality in the robotic arm and perform necessary actions. This design will allow maintenance engineers to quickly respond to abnormalities and confirm the source of abnormality in the robotic arm, hence reducing the time required to resolve the problem and raise efficiency. The application uses communication functions to link with the PLC interface via Ethernet (Internet), Net/H (optical fiber network), USB, and RS-232 (serial port) to implement multiple communication support and raise system feasibility when applied on-site. The ASP webpage design provides remote assistance for monitoring analysis. Overall, on-site application and ASP work hand-in-hand to provide a variety of monitoring analysis and abnormality-reporting functions for the robotic arm controller.
