3 System Overview
3.1 Software
The complete Portal software package has several components. Every operator must
understand what each piece of software is and its function before you operate the
workcell.
3.1.1 Portal
Portal is the main user interface that allows the user to interact with the workcell. It sets
the mode the workcell is operating in, allows the operator to monitor each system of
the workcell, allows the operator to select different PathMaster routines, and conveys
system messages to the user.
3.1.2 PathMaster®
PathMaster is PVA’s Windows®-based programming software. It is used to create,
maintain and download project files for the workcell. Refer to the PathMaster manual
for more information.

3.2 Teach Pendant
PVA workcells come with a teach pendant. Each teach pendant has a Trackball, Teach
button, Purge button, Axis selection button, and LED indicators for selected axes and
teach function.
Figure 1: Teach Pendant-Update Image
LED’s – The X, Y, Z and W LED’s show the selected axis configuration. The Teach LED
shows a position was correctly recorded by PathMaster®. The light tower buzzer will
“beep” when the Teach LED illuminates.
NOTE: W-axis trackball control is locked if the Teach Tool is enabled, unless
the PathMaster Tool Offset window is open (Setup-> Machine Parameters->
“Tool Offsets”). This is so the operator does not accidentally teach a theta
position with the teach tool. You can also enable or disable this function in
Setup mode (refer to Figure 24). When teaching with a device that is not the
camera, the theta position will be taught.
The speed of the trackball can be changed if you have a vision system.
1. Push and hold the “Axis” button for three seconds.
2. The red teach light will illuminate and the trackball function will move 10x
slower.
3. Do the steps again to change the speed back to normal.
