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.

The X, Y, Z, and W LEDs 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: The 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 ensures the operator does not accidentally teach a theta position
with the teach tool. This function can also be enabled or disabled in Setup mode (for
more information refer to Figure 48). When teaching with a device that is not the
camera, the theta position will be taught.
If a vision system is being used, the speed of the trackball can be changed by performing
the following steps.
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. Repeat these steps to change the speed back to normal.
