You can find it in the manual.
Upload a backup from the existing cell into Roboguide then you can make your changes.

I have Handling Tool manual and there is a section for palletizing but a cant still information about the options Menu -->Setup---> "Infeed Stn", "Pallet Stn", "Unit Load", " Optimal Path", "Gripper" and "Pallet System" options on my teach pendant.
The controller has HandlingTool 7.2 Sotware with Pallet Pack
Is your system setup yet?
The picture you are showing indicates you have the Pallet Tool option.
What type of robot do you have?
Look in your manual under Pallet Tool Setup and Operations

i created this cell with the backup of a R-2000i165F R3JiB controller, you are rigth, it has the Pallet Tool option alrady installed, but i dont know how to configure the palletizing patterns. i restore the backup using Pallet Pro and Handling Tool, but a cant figure out whats the difference.
When a créate the cell using Palet Pro there is no Unit Loads on the Project but i can see on the TP (screenshot)
Thanks in advance
You should be able to upload or import the files into Roboguide.
My version of Pallet Pro is expired so I can't open it to tell you where it is.
First restore the robot from your backup using the PalletPro option in the workcell creation wizard.
From the file menu select "Upload". Then under the drop down menu for "Upload From:" Select "Workcell Robot Controller" Select every thing in the list and press the "Upload" button. You should then be able to view and edit your UL's in the cell browser tree.
Hope this helps,
Phil

Hey Phil Thanks a lot.
i suppose after you made all the modifications there is a way to download to the robot. it can be TCP/IP connection and manually( Copy into a flash drive and download to the controller). Please tell me if am i correct?
Thanks in advance
In the pallet system setup menu you can define TCP or Serial file transfer. Menu, 6, Pallet system setup
You can also do it with a memory card.
After making any changes offline to the unit load, run the modified UL using the cycle start arrow in roboguide. This updates the .vr file on the virtual controller. You can then export the .vr (pmulxxx.vr) onto a memory stick and transfer it to the robot.
You could also setup FTP, but when I'm in the field it's usually just quicker to use a memory stick.

One More question Phil
Dou You know why there is only one User Tool on cell browser tree ?? when i go to Menu ---> Setup ---> Frames ----> Tool Frame There ir more than one
Thanks
The Utool frames are calculated based on the gripper setup (Menu > Setup > Gripper). Usually the only thing I enter into the gripper setup frame is the Z offset (height of the actual tool). X and Y offsets can be entered, but normally these are zero, because the tool is centered on the cases when picking.
While running, pallet tool will calculate the x offsets based upon the case dimensions. It will then load these numbers into the appropriate Utool; i.e. if you are running a triple case tool, Utool 1 - 3 will be populated with the correct offsets. If you are running a double gripper, Utool 1 and 2 will be populated with the correct offsets. Because of this, we normally use Utool 9 for all other functions, like picking up slip sheets or pallets.
