New to Fanuc robots here. I have gone thru many, many threads on here and a few manuals.
Roboguide and PLC are passing UO, DI, DO, GI, GO, and "most" of the UI just fine. Took awhile to get the PNS Strobe to work. Had to find the remote variables to change and finally got my UO[1] Cmd Enabled to turn on, i.e. $rmt_master=0.
I have the typical settings:
Menu>System>Config
7- Enable UI signals = True
11- PROD_START depend on PNSTROBE = True
42- Remote/Local Setup = Remote
Menu>Setup>Prog Select
Prog Select mode PNS >DETAIL> Job Prefix = PNS (I tested blank as well)
Base Number = 0 (I tested 100 and have a PNS0100 TP program)
Ack pulse width = 1000ms
Prod start method UOP = True
My PLC is sending a 1 to the UI[9] PNS1 constantly but it never turns on on the UI screen. I tested all the other PNS bits and nothing. Then I trigger PNSTROBE for momentary (tested 50-2000ms), I don't even see this turn on on the pendant. Then I get SYST-014 Program select failed and MEMO-073 Prog does not exist. I even have a PNS0000 just to see if that would load.
What am I missing as to why the PNS bits aren't changing even though the PLC is trying to?
