Release Notes for RobotStudio 2022.3
General
The release name is RobotStudio 2022.3 and the build number is 22.3.10098.0. The release date is November 10, 2022.
New Functionality
CRB 1300 SWIFTI™
The CRB 1300 SWIFTI™ has been added to ABB Library. It is supported from RobotWare 7.7.
Align TCP
Added a command to the mechanism context menu and ribbon for aligning the tool orientation with UCS coordinates.
Disable CFG IO comparison for multilayer in VSM
IRB 365-1.5/1100
The IRB 365-1.5/1100 has been added to ABB Library. It is supported from RobotWare 7.6.
IRB 920 180mm stroke
The IRB 920-6/0.55 and IRB 920-6/0.65 have been added to ABB Library. They are supported from RobotWare 7.8.
IRT 710 Track Motion
IRT 710 Track Motion models have been added to ABB Library. They are supported by RobotWare TrackMotion from 6.14.
Known limitations:
- For a track with multiple carriages, each carriage is imported as a separate component. The track length and other properties of the components must match.
- Each robot controller supports at most two robots on carriages. For a track with more than two robot carriages, multiple controllers must be used.
- Each robot controller supports either robot carriages or transfer carriages, not both.
VR: Align TCP
Added a command in the Manipulate menu for aligning the tool orientation of a robot with the selected reference coordinates.
VR: Auto axis lock
Added a new auto axis lock function, which lets you select the axis lock by grabbing a tool, target or part and touching any of the visualized axes or rotation circles.
VR: Change active task, tool and workobject
It is now possible to change active task, tool and workobject from the Teach menu in VR.
VR: Display measurement while moving or rotating
When linearly jogging a robot or moving and rotating a target or part in VR, the distance that the object has been moved or rotated is now displayed next to the right hand controller. It is also possible to show how far an object is from the selected reference coordinate system.
VR: Stepwise movement and rotation
It is now possible to make stepwise movements and rotations of objects in VR. The step size can be selected from a predefined set of steps.
Corrections
| PDD | |
|---|---|
| 13425 | MU 80 has different flange orientation than other Motor Units The flange of the MU 80 model had a different orientation than other Motor Units. This has been fixed. |
| 14419 | Incorrect textures in Station Viewer Fixed an issue that could cause the wrong texture to be applied to surfaces when exporting the station to a Station Viewer executable.
|
| 14755 | Smart Component: Incorrect JointMover animation If the duration for a JointMover was set smaller than the the simulation time step, this could cause the mechanism controlled by the JointMover to jump to an incorrect position before getting to the correct one. This is now fixed. |
| 14795 | OPC UA Client Smart Component exception with CoDeSys Fixed an exception that could occur when browsing the OPC UA nodes of a CoDeSys project using the OPC UA Client Smart Component. |
| 14869 | Visual SafeMove: Properties dialog does not come back on selecting default layout The 'Default Layout' command does not bring back windows such as the properties window in Visual SafeMove if the user happens to close it. There is now a new command 'Saved Layout' below 'Default Layout', which restores the user's custom window settings that are saved when RobotStudio is closed down. This type of restore includes settings for windows within add-ins such as Visual SafeMove.  |
| 14987 | Undo list not cleared when saving station When saving a station, the list of undoable commands and the asterisk that indicates unsaved changes were sometimes not cleared. This has been fixed. |
| 15009 | Pack&Go no longer defaults to project path Fixed an inconsistency in the default location for the package file in the Pack & Go dialog. If the user selects to save the file inside the Project folder, that will be remembered and reflected the next time the dialog is opened. |
| 15020 | Graphic View name not updated Fixed a regression which caused the caption of Graphic View windows to not correctly reflect the name of the station. |
| 15053 | Fatal error when maximizing RobotStudio Fixed a bug that crashed RobotStudio when minimizing and then maximizing while having several vertical windows in a tab group. |
| Exception when using Source smart component with physics enabled objects Fixed issues that could occur when using a Source smart component to copy a graphic component group with physics enabled parts such as cables. The PhysicsBehavior property of the Source can now be set to Unchanged, leaving the behavior of all objects in the group unaltered. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Wrapped Safe Zone command enabled with Basic Joint Supervision It is no longer possible to create Wrapped Safe Zone when Basic Joint Supervision is enabled. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Able to create TSP using Human contact supervision when basic joint supervision is enabled It is no longer possible to create Human contact supervision when basic joint supervision is enabled. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Error message is always shown in first corner / vertex Now the error message is displayed in the corner which has the error. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Not possible to write to the controller because System Name to long The System name is now truncated to a maximum of 32 characters. | |
| IM7: Installation Manager False Corrupted System | |
| Collision Free Path Planning out of reach Fixed an out of reach error when the tool was excluded from Collision Free Path Planning. | |
| DWG Import not correct Fixed an issue with the position and orientation of certain parts when importing a DWG assembly. | |
| Recent stations and projects view scaling issues Improved the sizing of elements in the Open - Recent page in the File tab. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Notify user why there is no floor plan. Added a notification that the floor plan can't be generated if online monitor is closed. | |
| Crash when I-starting when a RAPID Tasks window is open Fixed a crash that could occur if the RAPID Tasks window was open while the controller task configuration changed (for example by an I-start). | |
| Station Viewer crash Fixed a couple of issues that could cause a Station Viewer (executable or .rsstnv file) to crash when loading the station. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Editing a Safe Zone could result in some values being reset. | |
| Wrong 3D work envelope for IRB 360 3-axis Corrected the 3D work envelope visualization for 3-axis picker robots. | |
| Visual SafeMove: Could not import Speed Supervision Points from a simplified configuration | |
| Very hard to close RAPID tab from a module opened from Files browser Implemented a limit on the width of document and category tabs, which could become very wide and difficult to use when for example opening a backup from the Files browser. The full text of the tab is displayed in a tooltip.  | |
| Cannot joint jog all mechanisms in non-robot task In the Joint Jog window, it was not possible to jog all mechanisms when selecting a RAPID motion task which controls multiple external axes (for example transfer tracks) but no TCP robot. It is now possible to select the mechanism to jog.  |
