    All of my UI signals lost there mapping/assignments. I'm pretty new to the scene and am trying to get my fanuc to remote start using UI[6] but i cant figure out how to map them back.

    i know how to get to and assign the signals from the teach pendant but i am confused on what "rack", "slot", "start, and the "range" are for

    attached is a picture of what i'm assuming is needed to get the required info for assigning them but im not sure im new.


    also once thats assigned how would I go about getting the ui controls to cycle start the robot. Right now i have the start method to local and the program selection to other and i put my program name in the system variable that needs changed but nothing is seeming to work correctly. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED thanks.

    Your digital inputs are Rack 1, Slot 1, 1-16 and Rack 1, Slot 2, 1-16. Your digital outputs are Rack 1, Slot 3, 1-16 and Rack 1, Slot 4, 1-16.

    Looks like your user inputs should start at Rack 1, Slot 2, Starting at 9.

    Your user outputs are a little more scattered, but it looks like they start at Slot 4, Starting Point 4

    When you assign, just make sure you account for the unused (unassigned) points in between...

    Ok for my uop start specifically I have it set for range: 1-18 rack: 1 slot: 2 start: 9

    It’s not working how does the range work.

    All I need is uop start to work at the moment

    Change range to 1-8.

    You only have 16 input points on that card, so if you map 18 points starting at point 9 you go out of range.

    So I was quite certain that my question was solved but it seems that there's a possibility that I have caused further issues. I am still not 100% familiar with the input requirements on Fanuc robots. IE the inputs for hold, fault, reset and others. Shortly after I assigned some digital inputs the air powered drill started giving me problems. The drill is controlled through robot output 1 RO[1]. toggling the drill on and off works as expected until I step through or try to run a program. As soon as the robot starts moving the drill kicks off. Looking at RO[1] I can see that the output still remains on even after the drill kicks off. I also notice that a digital input labeled fault also turns on. When I go and toggle that I/O on and off (pretty sure its digital input 23) the drill turns off when its on and vice versa. I would figure that if an actual fault was occurring that the entire robot would halt like usual. But instead that input turns on and the rest of the program runs as expected apart from the air drill which I wish to remain on. I have been racking my brain for quite a while and cant seem to solve this issue. any pointers?

    Put a volt meter on your drill output and watch it while running a program.

    I found the wires that come from the controller to the relay that controls the drill air valve. I noticed there is a green and black wire. I found that the green wire goes straight back to the robot the black wire goes to the bottom part of the relay

    The wire that comes from the robot contains 3 wires the green one a red one and another new black wire. The red wire is attached to the top of the relay and the new black wire isn’t connected at all.

    I haven’t been able to take a good multimeter to it yet as I don’t have one sadly. I was wondering if this unconnected black wire would be my problem

    After finding a multimeter I noticed that from the controller that controls the robot outputs that the output for my drill is in fact turning completely off. Even though the teach pendant shows the output as on?

    Progress! Is it flickering on and off or steady off?

    If flickering check for loose connection. If steady, find the power source that supplies the output and find out if it is shutting off and what controls it.

    Thank you all for the help. It turned out to be a misplaced wire on the bottom of the relay. I wasn't the one who wired the robot and i guess i just overlooked it.
