robot not logging vision data - giving irrelevant errors.l

    I’ve got a robot which was restored from a backup which was taken this morning, and it will not log vision images or processes.

    I’ve tried multiple things, but the errors I am getting are pretty nonsensical, and not relevant. For example, with a 16 GB microcenter flash drive (fat32), the robot will give two errors when I try to log images: CVIS-130 (no free space) and CMND-018 (invalid device or path). I can see why CMND-018 is thrown; The USB information does not pop-up when it is plugged in to the pendant, but the CVIS-130 makes no sense- the drive is freshly formatted. The next thing I tried is creating a smaller partition table; OI heard that there are sometimes troubles associated with large USB disks. We reduced the partition size down to 8GB, and it gave the same two errors. Next we tried a new flash drive; a SanDisk 32gb Cruzer, again in FAT. I thought This would work because FANUC usually ships the software options in a SanDisk, AND it had worked previously, but I was wrong. This time, we only got the CVIS-130 error, so that is better. I checked the partitions of the controller, and they mostly had enough free memory available to facilitate images (FR has 59MB free, RD has 0.128MB free, and TD has 49MB free), so I didn’t think this was a storage image issue. I've even tried formatting a 3.5GB partition as FAT16, which did not work.

    On startup I get the following alarms: FILE-071 (USB device info. In this case it’s vend 0000 prod 000), and FILE-069 right after (Ready to use USB).

    How can I get this to correctly log images?

    Quoted from andreic on another post but maybe when you did the restore some logging settings got changed? Sometimes I have issues with things like this if there is no specified folder on the drive to save to. I've not really messed with image logging myself so these are just some generic ideas.

    "MENU=>iRVision-> Vision Config -> Enable logging and Log Path.

    After that on your vision process you must enable logging for failed images."

    Yes, my current log path is MP1:/logs2, which is a folder that exists on the flash drive, and is empty. The enable logging box is checked.

    The first thing when you record images on a flash drive in a FANUC robot, please test the usb manually by doing an AoA on it, copy files manually etc.
    After that if it's not working, then try to format it in your PC and again in the robot, then try it again. In my 8 years experience working with FANUC robots, I found that kingston dtse9 8 or 16 gb works the best with all the controllers that have usb port.

    I have stocked around 50 kingston usb drives just for using with FANUC robots :smiling_face:
