how to view cycle time on ipendant

    I'm new to the Fanuc world and am looking for the "Cycle time logging and display" function on my pendant. Is this an option that must be turned on?

    Yes, Cycle Time Logging is a paid option that gives you a very detailed breakdown of everything that might contribute to cycle time: process, motion, application, wait times, etc. and has the ability to display them in graphic format. I am not sure which controller software versions support this option but the first controller that I used the option on was HandlingTool v8.2. In lieu of the option, you can set up some very functional timers using the system timers that come standard.

    If you don't want to pay for the cycle time, you also can program it by yourself. Just use the Timer[x] and Write the Value in a register.


    Code is like
    1. Timer[1]=Start // Program Start
    2. Timer[1]=Stop // Program End
    3. Register[1] = Timer[1] // Now Register 1 has the Cycle Time in seconds
    4. Timer[1]=Reset


    Then start from 1.
