Hey guys, I am trying to open an all of the above backup from a real robot to check some stuff in the simulation software. I have roboguide version 8.2. When I try to open the backup it tells me I need version 8.3. I have some old robots downstairs I loaded the backup into then brough it back over to my computer and it tells me I need version 7.7. I don't have alot of experience loading real controller backups into roboguide. What do I need to do here?

I think it is referring to the Virtual Robot Controller version and not the Roboguide software version. You need to install the Virtual Robot Controller version for the robot software version on your real robot. When you install Roboguide it asks you which versions to install. You can manually install them by running the setup.exe file in the FRVRC830 folder (or whatever version desired). These folders are in the Roboguide install folder. I think you have to right click on the setup.exe file and run "as administrator".

C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Off Line\FRVRC
From here I have a folder called V8.20
frvirtual.exe
frvirtual.exe.config
frcreatevirtualrobot.exeIn the foloder is all DLL files and one DAT file.
I am not exactly sure what to do?

This would be a folder in the original installation files.

so that means that you have only the V8.20 virtual robot controller installed for Roboguide. I just looked in the same directory you listed and and I have V7.70, V8.10, V8.13, V8.20, and V8.30 installed.
You need to install the other versions from your Roboguide CD. If the version is not listed, you can download the roboguide installation files from the Fanuc Robotics website and it will include the latest virtual robot controllers. You don't have to install Roboguide, just the virtual robot controllers. Look for the FRVRC folders in the roboguide install files like bencor21 shows in the image.

I am having some trouble finding the download to the installation files. Is there also a newer version of roboguide I can use? I think for v9 i need to pay, but is there a newer v8 that is any different? Do I need to get into the customer portal to get this stuff? The guy who set it all up is no longer with us.

You can download the latest revision for Version 8 without paying or messing up your license. Correct, you will have to pay for V9. The last one I downloaded was rev M2 and that had V8.30 virtual controller. I think you need to login to the customer portal for this though. Contact Fanuc about getting access, shouldn't be an issue.

One thing to keep in mind is the patch of the Virtual you are using.... some robots will be 7.50/16 (patch 16) and you might have a ROBOGUIDE virtual of 7.50/28 (patch 28). Unfortunately, there are compatibility issues when transferring from one to another so try to use the same released virtual in your Workcell.

Hi people, I'm new to robotics, work in a packaging company and we have a roboguide robot. Finding out who installed it has the program version 7.7 could you help me get the program, thanks

Please start a new thread.

The files discussed for the different versions are found in the SFTROBOG8DVD file folder. This is the one you downloaded from their website or received via a Disk or a USB.
