Encoder Enable defaults to OFF after power cycle

  • Looking for support. We have a Fanuc R30ib plus controller with handling tool package.


    Why does my encoder enable setting default back to OFF after a power cycle? Is there a way to keep this on even after a power cycle of the controller?

  • I assume this is related to line tracking. Are you cold starting the controller everytime?


    I typically write a small background program that just forces the line tracking encoder on.

    Code
    : $ENC_STAT[1].$ENC_ENABLE=1 ;

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!
