TP+

TP+ is a higher-level language abstraction that translates into FANUC TP. It features many useful utilities that makes creating TP programs easier:

• Identifiers for registers, position registers, IO, etc.
• Re-usable methods
• If-else blocks
• Readable motion statements
• Automatic label numbering

Of course adding another layer of abstraction takes you a step further away from the code the robot is running. However, it's hoped that the increased productivity and rigid syntax requirements will actually improve your TP code.

Examples

example_1.tpp

foo  := R[1]
bar  := DO[1]
baz  := DO[2]

home := PR[1]
lpos := PR[2]

foo = 1

@loop
  foo += 1

  jump_to @loop if foo < 10

turn_on bar if foo == 5
toggle baz

linear_move.to(home).at(2000, 'mm/s').term(0)
get_linear_position(lpos)
