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 operating 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 the selected axes and
teach function.
