I know this is kind of tough question because the answers are likely vast but............ To those of you that program both Fanuc and Kawasaki Robots, what are the major differences between them, programmatically? For example, Roboguide PR's, Tool Frames, Work Frames, program calls, etc, etc...... are all of these available in K-ROSET? I have just started watching the videos for the Kawasaki as time permits I guess to alleviate some of this anxiety I was hoping to get an idea as to what I am up against. Thank you

Most of this can be found in the AS manual, but to address some specific points:
TOOL and BASE commands set your tool frames and base frames if using AS.
Kawasaki will retain the last coordinate system setting selected unless programmed to change.
Unlike Fanuc, Kawasaki does not have anything like a TF or UF at the start if any program, so you need to ensure (by command) that each program refers to the specific frame you want to use.
Kawasaki does not have anything like a reference to a user frame except for the use of FRAME command, which is Kawasaki way of creating a user frame.
However, this FRAME needs to be referenced in order to use it either by:
- Setting the BASE using the FRAME command.
- Using the FRAME variable name to reference to such as a compound command uf_!+pos1
Program call are just CALL and RETURN and you can call programs parameters:
- CALL pg1(1,2,test)
All are available in KRoset.
