Robotics Highlights of CES 2024

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place in Las Vegas from January 9 to 12, 2024. This year, over 4,000 exhibitors and more than 130,000 visitors attended the world's largest electronics trade fair.
As the name suggests, CES is all about consumer electronics, i.e. electronics for the home, entertainment and more. From televisions, gaming and graphics cards to cars, everything is there, and of course, robots can’t be missing!
Today, we will share with you to the most interesting robotics innovations presented at CES.

    It should function as you describe. Is the PLC sending the start signal every time it sees the paused bit? That might cause the issue.

    Hi

    mil3k yes. I got the manual you shared in other post (CS9 - Fieldbus configuration). But even doing Profinet controller configuration as in the manual, it wasn't enough.

    It's true that the SDK now implements SNPX, so Fanuc America robots must have the option. On the other hand, TELNET and FTP require no additional option.

    Got excited for a second. Unfortunately, if you're in the US, the TL;DR isn't correct in stating "No additional robot options or installations are required."

    Yes, you stated that before. Again, please provide voltages at A1 & A2 of each contactor while ON and while OFF. This will define which of the two run-chains is having an issue.

    Enable your tool frame. Then rotate/jog WPR in WORLD, JGFRM, or USER coordinate systems. When you do this does your robot TCP remain stationary, or does it change? My guess would be a bad tool frame.
