Pickmaster Robotware options missing error

  • Hi,
    I have just installed RobotStudio 6.07.01 SP1 with RobotWare 6.07.01
    I've downloaded the Picking Powerpack 6.06. with the Virtual Pickmaster 3.54.
    When i've added the picking controller a warning appears:



    My configuration for the options is:


    I dont see what i'm missing. I've also tried "One I/O board DeviceNet " option from PickMaster IO configuration selection but its still the same.


    I tried to use an older Robotware 6.05 version as well. This worked, but the system crashed as soon as I wanted to calibrate the base frame. Conveyors/Workareas/Cameras i've added are all default settings.



    :help:


    Thank you,
    Rivo

  • I had similar issues setting up a system and I couldn't quite recover / fix my existing system so I just ended up creating a completely new one making sure I had all the right options from the beginning.


    Here's the selections I made just now making a new system to verify that it works.... copy/paste it into a text file, rename the text file from .txt >> .rsf and you can import it in system builder.


  • Hi,


    Thank you for your answer. I tried it, no luck. This is how one of my solutions controller options looks like:


    Your code didnt include the "709-1 DeviceNet Master/Slave" option but even if I added it, didnt change anything. I can see that the two codes are different but both of them seem to do the same thing.


    I'm pretty lost here, I've already tried it on another laptop and a virtual machine. I've also tried the 32-bit version. Nothing.


    Any help is highly appreciated.


    Cheers,
    Rivo

  • Hello again,


    I'll add a error description of what happens if I add all the components to the picking module. The system crashes and an error is given:

    Code
    Base exception: MissingMethodException
    Method not found: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task RobotStudio.API.Internal.IApiControllerConnection.RequestMastership(RobotStudio.API.Internal.ApiMastershipResource)'.
       at PickMasterPP.DataLayer.LgController.<SetBaseFrames>d__21.MoveNext()
       at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.AsyncTaskMethodBuilder.Start[TStateMachine](TStateMachine& stateMachine)
       at PickMasterPP.DataLayer.LgController.SetBaseFrames(Boolean restart)

    --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---
       at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()


    Maybe that will help someone understand what might be the problem.


    Thanks,

  • I tried to run Robotstudio on two clean virtual machines yesterday. Virtual machines downloaded from Windows official webpage.
    The version i use for robotstudio are the latest from their homepage.
    Could someone please confirm that the latest Robotstudio and Picking PowePac are running on their computer and there are no problems? Just so I could make sure this is a problem on my side.
    Or better jet, if someone could take the time and install the latest software - with picking - and tell me how they got it running.
    I'm installing all the software by default settings, with administrator rights. If there is a problem with installation it must be very non-intuitive.


    I have also asked for help from ABB but that will probably take more time than i have.


    Thank You,
    Rivo

  • Make sure you're using a matching RobotWare release...


    Most PowerPac's require the same RW release, so UberDuber PowerPac 6.06 requires RW 6.06.xx


    Download 6.06.01
    http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/…HnHa0XjHSkT86iS4MuTZlRA==


    It's not the full installer, so you have to use RobotStudio to install it... I just placed it in the same folder as the RS executable (to avoid having to type the whole path) and renamed it to RW.rspak
    open the command window (start > run > cmd) and CD to your bin location and type....
    robotstudio.exe -install rw.rspak -accepteula


    Or you can type the full path from any location if you feel so inclined.


    Then - build a new system in RS and make sure you select RW 6.06.xx and you should be good to go.


  • This...
    This is what I needed. I just assumed that the latest software on ABB website is compatible. Thank You for pointing that out.
    Ran it like you described, worked like a charm. Would the outcome be the same when id install it from RobotApps?



    But still.. when I've added all the components in my picking application i get an error:

    Code
    RobotStudio .NET exception: Method not found: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task RobotStudio.API.Internal.IApiControllerConnection.RequestMastership(RobotStudio.API.Internal.ApiMastershipResource)'.
    ============================================

    I'll try to figure it out but if someone knows what its about then feel free to share :)


    Thanks!

  • It seems that the robotstudio version has to match as well. From the release notes:
    Software requirements
    • Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating system
    • RobotStudio 6.06
    • RobotWare 6.01 or above
    • Virtual PickMaster 3.50 or above


    The problem is that i cannot find vers 6.06 anywhere. Is there someone still using it and maybe can share it with me?
    Cheers,
    Rivo

  • Hi,


    Got an answer from ABB. They got the same errors when using these versions of software. They sent me RS 6.06 - and I got it running.
    Thank you for all your help.
