So i have a fanuc 50ib with a r30ib controller, This is a paint robot running on teach pendant software 7.4...I have a hlvp gun on the end of the robot which i can trigger the needle open and closed on the gun...But my problem is trying to activate fluid flow....On the teach pendant i can activate it manually by hitting "tool 1" then turning the gun on and going down to fluid flow and turning it on to say 800cc/m I can then get my gun to purge solvent or paint. But i cant get it to do it through a program...I have tried adding in GUNSEL[1] and PRESET[1] then under the "data" key I go to line 1 and change fluid flow, AA psi and FA psi with no luck...The program wont open the fluid diaphragm pump to allow fluid to pass into the gun and i cant get atomizing air. But i can do it all manually......Here is my questions, Am i missing a step somewhere? Does this stuff only activate under a running JOB and not a program? or if it can run under a program how do i get it to activate?
Now the gun's settings are in I/O setup under Analog Out I have tried also running in the program AO[1: fluidflow] = (r[800]) and all i get is a syntax error. in the program on that line and no matter how i try and run AO in multiple different programming ways i always get a syntax error on the line in the program that contains AO so i know thats prob not the way....So.. There has to be a way to turn fluid flow on within a program somehow...I would hate to have to run it from a JOB or is that the only way it will run?.......
BTW i have asked FANUC tech this same question and so far i haven't gotten an answer.. This is my last step in getting a robot up in running.. I have a working paint program that will work and paint a part just no paint https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/Smi…otforum/huh.gif
