Good afternoon,
once more I come back here for help.
My company recently bought back one of the machines they had supplied a few years back.
Unfortunately my boss was bought it with a few problems that we spotted straight away such as the AVR wouldn't power up. Having replaced it the TP wouldn't receive any signal, only showing a lit up screen nothing else.
Noticed this was a problem with the 1RA/KA board.
as we had a few other robots here, i decided to swap a few boards and see what i could from it, with this I figured out the problem.
But having it all "working", only came to get me into another error: there were 3 mismatch errors on the TP: Arm control board, I/F board, a software.
bottom line is that i was expecting it, as the new 1KA/1RA board i had fit on the controller (which is a 5 axis one) belonged to a 6 axis with PL 6kg robot.
I figured that if i reset the system, and downloaded the program that was originally on the robot, it would solve the mismatch related to the software, which is now the right software for a 5 axis robot.
It did what i expected, but I still have a mismatch between the arm control board and software. i believe this would be related to the dip switches S8, S2 and/or S7 on the 1RB board.
I believe this was changed by the previous owners of the machine given all the issues we have been facing.
Would any of you have any thoughts on this, on how could i test and experiment a bit more? And even better does any of you have the actual configuration of these dip switches for a 5 axis robot arm control?
Thank you all in advance
