New to robots. we bought a used robot two years ago and just now getting it up and running. it is a fANUC M-710i with an R-j3 controller. i have cleared or jumpered out all the errors but for one. a IMSTP error. i have read that it needs to be turned on. i have tried to turn it on. I a get message "pass word required"and because we bought it used we have no idea what the pass word is. can anybody gie me a detailed list of how i can clear this "IMSTP" error. and how to get around the unknown pass word. i thinking of reseting everything back to default settings. any advice would?

Imstp is an external estop usually. Check your tbop's on the panelboard and make sure you have both channels jumped out.

This error happens when the PLC or what ever is configured to turn on User Input 1 is not on.
Go to I/O select UOP from the type menu and look at the UI1 configuration.
It has nothing to do with the estop circuit on the panel board.

thanks for the help. i will go do it now and get back to you. thanks for your time

i do not get the UOP option. i go to I/O, select "type" (f1) and i get these option to choose from : Digital/Group/Robot,

You might be viewing the "Quick" menus. Press the FCTN button, 0 - NEXT, then 1 - QUICK/FULL MENUS. This will toggle the quick/full menus. Then look at the I/O Type menu again.

going to give it a try now!!! i will get back to you. thanks for your time
-
it is asking for a password. i do not have a password we bought it used
-
Try the link above that Racermike123 posted for resetting the password
-
You are going to need the original Fanuc software to do this. I am assuming you don't have it.
What version of software do you have? -
i have v6.22-1B/F. ALSO have a Fanuc Robotics handling tool 6.22-1, project #, Variant #, Serial #. plus a vicking interworks compact flash 128mb.
when i go to menu, setup password, (f3) password. it says no password to modify. i am really lost -
to answer your question RacerMike123 yes i think i have the origonal software
-
would reloading the origonal software work?
-
Yeah that would work but that is like killing an ant with a missile!
Did you load the passclear.sv file? -
no, i have not. i did try to connact Fanuc. still have the "IMSTP" error and password issue
-
Are you using it with a plc or are you just trying to move it manually for now? 1 option would be to go to menu/system/config and find the item for UI Signals Enable and set to False. Once you get youre robot tied in to a controller you should reenable them.

Bigfrank is right but you will need to resolve your password issue first.
-
Fanuc gave me the same advice as you did. however they said i would have to reburn something???? not sure what it was they were talking about. what issues will i have reinstalling the origonal soft ware?
-
i do not get the same options to choose from. i can not find the "systems" option to choose to get too the "UI"
-
Dean you need to resolve your password issue first.
Fanuc doesn't want to help you with a used robot.
It is their policy. You will need to re license the robot with them and that is why they want to reburn your software.
Everything you need is on this site. Follow the link to reset your password. The passclear file you need is on the thread that the link opens.
All you need is a memory card -
