We inherited some used robots a few months ago. One of the things that peaked my curiosity was that the remarks in the programs had a yellow background. In the programs, if an input is on then it has a green background, and if the input is off then it is red. Ive tried to find some kind of setting for this and have had no luck. I would like to apply these to some of the other Fanucs we have in house. Does anyone know where the settings to do this are?
Change colors on program pendant?

I dont know when they started to do that (version 7.something) but it's only in the "newer" robots

We have quite a few new robots, but none of them have it on it. These may may have a newer software than the ones we have.

When you say newer, what controller version.
I'm pretty sure this feature was introduced with the R-30iB. I agree that it's a really great feature, it makes it super easy to scroll through programs really quickly and find things.

I’ll have to check when I go in tomorrow. Would be great to label table rotations or TSYNCs with this feature for the inexperienced guys.

When you are in a TP-program you see POINT or TOUCHUP, but when press NEXT, you see [INST] or [EDCMD]
Press [EDCMD]
In my version you get EDCMD1 and EDCMD2 (2 lists of possible commands)For turning on or off colors, EDCMD2, option 2 "Color"
For seeing comments of DIO, Registers etc.. EDCMD1, option 7 "Comment"
For seeing the actual status of DIO in the program, EDCMD2, option 3 "IO Status"
For disabling certain lines in the program, EDCMD1, option 9 "Remark" (this will put // before a line and the line will be ignored
(This remark is different than the remark found under [INST], Instruction 2, Miscellaneous, Miscellaneous Statements 1, Option 5, Remark, which is putting (yellow) comments in the program with !) -
Thanks. I see the color option now. These robots are running version 8.3, when our others are version 8.2. The 8.2 version doesn’t even have the color option.
