Does anyone know how you can access and read the background tasks? I have a load of r-2000ia's.

To check what tasks are running : Menu -> status -> program. Use "prev" and "next" to cycle through all tasks. This will list all your program tasks and their status, including karel.
Then there are other ways of running things in the background. You have background logic. Check what background logic tasks are running : Menu -> setup -> background logic.
Then there could also be the PMC controller, which is an PLC running on the robot controller. This is an option that you might or might not have. Menu -> I/O -> PMC/PMC Display. To program this you need the FAPT-Ladder software from Fanuc.

That's useful but I need to know how you can read the background programs offline or on the TP? It's great to be able to see that they are running but how do you read them?
-
If it is BG logic program, you may find that in your program list. [SELECT]. You can view it like you do normal tp program.
KAREL can not be viewed either way i.e. online or offline.
-
Well, have you determined which type of background tasks you have running on your robots? That was what my first post was intended for.
-
Ok I hear you, It's more for my own knowledge really, In ABB robots you can view SYST modules. So I was hoping you could read the system programs on fanucs.
A friend informs me that you can upload TP files and mark them as "noview" How would I go about viewing these?
Thanks -
OK, there isn't "system modules" in Fanucs, like there is in ABBs. You have the before mentioned ways to run things in background tasks though, so you have to investigate what your robots configuration is like. It differs from one integrator to another.
"Noview" TP-files I have never seen, maybe someone else knows. Could he be talking about karel-files? They are compiled and downloaded to the controller and can not be viewed. You'll need the source code and recompile it to make changes.
-
Where would I find the source code?

All I want to be able to do is read the Karel code for my own learning. hahaha
