System Architecture
 

Peripheral Integration:

Vision Systems -> Controller (Target Coordinates & Pose Offset)

Sensors / Switches -> Controller (Part Detection & Safety Signals)

Master PLC -> Controller (Cycle Start / Job Selection / Reset)

Controller -> Tooling / Conveyor (Actuation & Indexing Commands)

 

Precision Robot Motion Control

 

Multi-Axis Coordination: Joint motion, linear path interpolation, circular arc trajectory, and continuous path smoothing.

 

Speed & Acceleration Profiling: S-curve acceleration/deceleration algorithms to minimize mechanical vibration and drive wear.

 

Tool Center Point (TCP) Management: Multiple tool coordinate frames (TOOL) and user coordinate frames (WORK) for simplified programming.

 

Dynamic Kinematic Transformation: Real-time conversion between Cartesian workspace coordinates and joint motor angles.

 

Applications such as precision arc welding, fluid dispensing, and laser cutting demand strict path adherence along complex 3D curves. Pick-and-place systems focus on rapid point-to-point positioning and conveyor tracking.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the main difference between a robot controller and a standard PLC?

A: A PLC handles general machine logic, sequential process control, and discrete factory I/O. A robot controller specializes in complex 3D kinematic transformations, dynamic path planning, high-speed multi-axis interpolation, and spatial tool coordinate management.

Q: Can the Haiyi robot controller interface with my existing Siemens / Allen-Bradley PLC?

A: Yes. The controller supports industrial communication networks including PROFINET, EtherCAT, and Ethernet/IP, enabling seamless cyclic data exchange and command execution with major PLC brands.

Q: Does the system support external axis synchronization?

A: Yes. The controller can manage additional servo axes (such as linear tracks or welding positioners) in full coordination with the main robot axes for continuous synchronized motion.

Q: What programming methods are available for operators and system engineers?

A: Engineers can program via the handheld teach pendant interface, offline PC simulation software, or through standardized IEC 61131-3 logic and high-level API interfaces depending on controller options.
