- systems: Motion Supervision, SoftMove, World Zones, Path Recovery, Collision Detection, Multitasking, Flexpendant Interface, PC Interface
Software Systems - Legend
- World Zones Controller software allows the robot to define, for example, a cubic zone, upon leaving which it will generate a signal, for example, on an I/O card. Software useful for defining a so-called home position.
- Path Recovery Controller software enables path retracing upon error. If a specific error occurs (e.g., arc ignition), the robot pauses until the error is resolved and then resumes where it left off.
- multitasking Controller software allows for multiple tasks to be run—so-called multithreading. For example, one task handles robot movements, while a second, independent task handles input and output cards, acting like a simple PLC.
- Flexpendant Interface Possibility to create graphical operator screens on the FlexPendant screen.
- SoftMove Controller software that allows you to define the static and dynamic stiffness of the robot – the robot can react like a spring or be subjected to an external force
- PC Interface Software – a controller option enabling communication via an ETHERNET port, for example, with a PC. Useful for integrating the robot with vision systems.
- Medium res. Camera + lens of your choice (8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 24 mm) Cognex Insight 7200 Series Camera
- Vision interface The camera system is based on the Cognex In-Sight® 7000 Series, but any Cognex In-Sight® camera can be connected. The camera is powered by 24 VDC. The camera system features IP67 protection, an M12 autofocus lens, and a built-in flash. Up to three cameras can be connected to the Ethernet switch simultaneously.
- Motion Supervision The controller's collision detection software has programmable sensitivity. Upon detecting a collision, the robot stops and then reverses.

FAQ
How should a training laboratory be equipped for automation and robotics courses?
The educational value of the course, based on theoretical lectures, is important, but it's the practical sessions that provide the trainee with real-world skills. Therefore, it's crucial that each participant has access to real ABB industrial robots during the training. This allows them to observe these devices up close and test their functionality.
ABB's well-equipped training lab features robots such as the smallest universal robot, the ABB IRB120 with an IRC5 controller; the ABB IRB1200 industrial robot with an IRC5 compact controller with a payload capacity of up to 5 kg; and the ABB IRB2400 robot with an IRC5 controller for welding, cutting, grinding, and handling. Furthermore, it's worth checking whether each robotic cell is equipped with modules and systems that meet the latest standards.
Who are ABB courses for?
The ABB Robot Programming and Operation Course is aimed at people who work in the manufacturing sector using robot functionality, as well as at anyone who would like to learn the operation, programming and configuration of ABB robots.
To participate in an ABB course, all you need is basic technical knowledge. This is essential to understand the operation of individual machines and automated devices. Participation is voluntary, so there is no skill level assessment. However, it's important to have at least a general understanding of automation and robotics concepts to maximize the benefits of the training.
Many centers also offer in-house training. These are aimed at both small and large companies and are typically held on-site. In-house courses allow for tailoring the training schedule to the specific needs of the client and their company's profile. These courses can be conducted using robots available at a given facility, preparing employees to operate specific equipment.
What skills can be acquired in an ABB course?
ABB courses provide fundamental knowledge about programming and operating an ABB robot. The training schedule is organized to allow participants to acquire condensed knowledge in the shortest possible time. Therefore, three days of practical and theoretical classes are sufficient for each participant to become familiar with the design and operation of the ABB robot system, be able to independently configure the station, tools, and machines, and master basic online programming techniques.
Technical training conducted in a suitable environment by robotics and automation specialists allows you to gain experience in operating and programming ABB robots. The effectiveness of ABB training typically depends on many different factors. If we want the time spent on the course to result in real-world qualifications in the future, we must pay particular attention to the professional experience of the instructors and the amount of practical exercises on modern industrial robots.
What can you do after completing the ABB robot programming and operation course?
The ABB course prepares participants for work as programmers and operators of industrial automation equipment. The skills acquired during the training can be translated into specific competencies valued in the job market.
Knowledge of general principles of robot operation, the ability to work safely in both manual and automatic modes, operating the console, controlling logic, setting motion instruction parameters, and correcting positions – after a multi-day ABB course, the participant should possess all of these skills. A certificate confirming this can be an important advantage during recruitment for industrial plants utilizing the potential of robots.
What does the student receive in the price of the ABB training?
The price for a 3-day course in the operation, programming, and commissioning of ABB robots is currently approximately PLN 2700 net. Anyone who chooses an ABB course at the Gliwice training center will receive a full package of benefits. The greatest advantage of these courses is the opportunity to work with a real ABB industrial robot. Furthermore, at every stage of the training, participants have access to the knowledge and experience of trainers who share their experience in modern robotic systems.
Most training centers prepare extensive training materials for their students. These often serve as an important compendium of knowledge that can be referenced even after the course has ended. Additional benefits include writing materials, company merchandise (lanyard, mug, training catalog), and access to a coffee bar.
A key element of every ABB robotics course is a personalized, bilingual certificate, awarded immediately after the course. It should include a complete training plan and a list of skills acquired during the course.
