Payload Prompt upon Powerup

Did you set the payload settings and set the active payload number?

This is a huge deal if you haven't set up the payload correctly, that's why the notification is there. Payload affects robot speed, path, and collision sensitivity.

What is the active payload schedule? It should say on the bottom of the system motion screen

Is this a CR (green), or CRX (white with green trim) robot? I can't speak to the CR series, but the CRX requires a confirmation on every boot. As I recall, the prompt is something like "confirm the robot is not touching anything." Then it uses the internal axis torque sensors to determine the payload mass and CG. It's part of the Collaborative DCS, and as such cannot be skipped or bypassed.

CRX-10iA on every boot ask to confirm payload

Default Code is (1111)

Maybe you need to set the weight. It's still set to 0.

I found the settings for this tool. After entering the load confirmation code, the robot worked normally. Realistically, that protruding TCP and weight of 0 kg could not be felt in the work.

For the welding torch holder I installed, I tried the procedure for automatic measurement and determination of TCP. Although the value for the Z axis is negative (perhaps due to the welding torch cable), working with this chosen tool was flexible and pleasant when determining the welding points.

Please don't judge by tool look, robots weld it's much better!

I must correct myself, I pay more attention to onscreen instruction, particularly J6, J5 and J4 axis and result is pretty different. Geometrical against real model, for Z axis in reality I have 317 mm.

fmiroslav have you used a UR before? I am trying to compare whether I should switch to FANUC or stay with UR.

Thanks!

My experience is only with Fanuc. I search Cobot application and find a lot of YouTube video with UR, and seems to me there's nice and intuitive interface for programming. With CRX comes a new drag and drop programming, but I find out vertical compatibility issues with some commands. Fanuc is old fashioned with steps in a new programming way.

I have an R30iB collaborative robot which is working fine except after a powerup on the robot it prompts to confirm the payload settings. Is this normal or a setting that needs to be configured somewhere. I am not actually using the collaborative portion on the robot, although I am using the DCS cartesian point check inside the cell.

You can set the confirmation to a DI (or RI or Flag) Input in the DCS Menu
The Option is called "CONFIRM by DI" in the collaborative robot settings.

->Menu -> System -> DCS -> Collaborative robot -> CONFIRM by DI

You can also disable the password prompt there if you still want to have the prompt on the pendant without the password.

If you set it to a digital input make sure that this input is OFF on startup.
The confirmation looks for a rising edge signal that needs to be on for at least 1 second.

More info can be found in the Fanuc manual B-83744EN/05 (collaborative robot functions) in section 3

Do you know if there is some kind of DO or systems variable to know then this pop up is on ?

Reason is I will have another HMI to control my cell. I would like to know in some kind of way that we have this popup. Confirm is easy by DI.

Thanks

I know its been a while since this post, but were you ever able to find an answer to this?
