    Hi Guys,

    I have 280 Fanuc R-J2/R-J3 robots that need all their TP and Karel programs wiped prior to plant closure. The manual states you can do a group delete of the backup files stored on FRA: but I can't find a way to group delete from the select screen.

    Has anyone got an idea to achieve this in an efficient way?

    Considered a factory reset but this leaves the robot in an unusable state.

    Cheers

    Run them to zero, do an INIT START, and then master them. They will be in "as delivered" condition!

    Cheers Mike,

    I tried an init start of an R-J30 in our training cell a while ago. It seemed to do more than lose mastering. It lost a majority of the menu options too. Nevertheless i'll take another look at this option.

    Thanks.

    An INIT start will remove anything that was added or changed after Fanuc delivered the robot. It will be like the software was just loaded.
    Any software/hardware configurations for extended or aux axis or servo gun will be lost.

    Ok, cheers. Most have a group 2 servo gun so I'll abandon this options. Looks like it's going to be slow and painful deleting one program at a time.

    Do R-J2/J3 controllers have the FTP server option?

    If so, what about logging in with FTP, then del *.tp? I haven't tested it, but it could be a fast way to mass delete programs.

    Or you may use a KAREL program.
    Karel will allow to list all programs inside a directory and delete them.

    This might be a good application of a .cm file. I recommend reading the sticky thread.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!
