Download TP Programs From RJ2 Controller

Hello Everybody,

I need some help, i know that to download TP programs i need to follow some rules to communicate with robot.
But my question is, in manual i have a TCC to transfer programs, but when i receive that information i convert to ASCII??

TCC?
Do you have the Fanuc KFLOPPY?

Yes but i´m doing a software to comunicate with RJ2, and i´m using the protocol to communicate with robbot.
My question is when i send the command to transfer the program, i receive with strange characters.

Any one please??

Hi jonguim,
I did transfer the program from another robot rj2 robot previously. Open the floppy and the program selected. The robot is operational and the program to be transferred from the File menu to discard. Same like your problem, the program as garbage characters are coming. But I try ; Robot Off and press Prev+Next and On robot Menu BMON. Select Install and select Kfloppy program. Program download is OK. Again off on robot start cold. My problems solved. I hope that helps.
Respects...

I dont understand you procedures, what it influences in program transfer?

Im sending a command plot to robot and im try to receive the program in response, my objective is not to use kfloppy..

Any help?

I don't quite understand what you are saying. Are you trying to send .tp files from your computer to a robot over a network connection?

Just to clear up something: do I understand you correctly when I believe that you are trying to reverse engineer the protocol used by kfloppy when it's communicating with the controller? In order to create a VB reimplementation which would remove the need for kfloppy altogether?

Yes thats right, im using Data transfer function to transfer a program..

I'm guessing that you expect the robot to send you the plain text ASCII version of the program? I'm not sure that is how it works. I'd assume kfloppy to store a direct binary copy of the (TP) program(s) on the controller in the local directory. If you need the LS 'version', you'd use any of the available tools to convert it.

It's quite possible that your program is already working, but that you're just expecting something that isn't going to happen.

If I may ask: how did you reverse the protocol? Did you use a serial sniffer?

Yes i know that the robot don´t send me plain text, he is send me information in Hexadecimal, i have to convert to ASCII and save a file in ANSI codification.

But i finally did it, now i can tranfer .TP programs from Robot.

To answer your question:
Im developing a software in visual basic, to comunnicate with robot im using Data Transfer Fuction from Fanuc.

Ah, ok. No reverse engineering then.

Yes no reverse engineer.
