We just installed an arm that was in use at another shop. While navagating the teach pendant, I noticed that I was unable to create programs with similar naming conventions to the ones I use on our other Fanucs. The naming convention allowed is restricted so that all programs need to start with a preset word and then a number (ex. "JOB001", "JOB103"). Any break from this naming convention results in "TPIF-038 Invalid char in program name". I can't use the name "program 2" for example.
I would just go ahead and stick with naming the way it's set, but it's not real practical for the way we run our robots. If I can change this, I'd like to.
I'm thinking there's a variable somewhere to force the aforementioned naming convention to meet whatever programming standards were in place at the previous shop, but I'm not sure.
Might anyone here be able to enlighten me, as there isn't much information that I've been able to find regarding this issue or error tpif-038.
