Help regarding Fanuc FTP

    Good morning everyone,

    Does anyone have experience with Fanuc FTP? file transfer protocol.

    I need to create a procedure for which the robot automatically fetches one file at a time from an external memory (A memory card inserted via adapter into the PCMCIA port), executes it and deletes it from the Teach pendant, before getting another one etc. The robot and controller are as follows: LR mate 200ic, R30iA

    Would anyone have any idea how to do this and could help me or give me some advice?

    Thanks everyone in advance

    Approved the thread.

    Hi,

    You must do it in Karel ,

    something like this :

    BEGIN

    TP_CLS

    SET_REAL_REG(4,0,STATUS)

    Opened = FALSE

    OPEN FILE file_var ('RO','C1:SEEQ.DT')

    IF (IO_STATUS(file_var) <> 0 ) THEN

    CLR_IO_STAT(file_var)

    WRITE TPPROMPT('*** Erro ao aceder ao ficheiro ***',CR)

    ELSE

    Opened = TRUE

    ENDIF

    IF Opened = TRUE THEN

    READ file_var (X, Y, Z)


    WRITE (' ',CR)

    WRITE (' ',CR)

    WRITE(' Powered by ',CHR(141),CHR(155),CHR(52),'Introsys',CHR(143),CHR(155),CHR(127),CR)

    WRITE (' ',CR)

    WRITE (' Dados recebidos : ',CR)

    WRITE (' Valor de X = ', CHR(139), X::9::5, ' mm ',CHR(143), CR)

    WRITE (' Valor de Y = ', CHR(139), Y::9::5, ' mm ',CHR(143) , CR)

    --WRITE (' Valor de Z = ', CHR(139), Z ,CHR(143) , CR)


    SET_REAL_REG(1,X,STATUS)

    SET_REAL_REG(2,Y,STATUS)

    SET_REAL_REG(3,Z,STATUS)

    SET_REAL_REG(4,1,STATUS)

    CLOSE FILE file_var

    ENDIF

    You will need to setup a client tag. That is what the C1 is in the open file command above. You set the client tag to read from an FTP server. However, you will need to copy the file over, not read it.

    Create 2 Karel programs. One to copy the file from the C1: "drive" to the MD: drive.

    The second to delete the file that was loaded to the MD: drive.

    Call the Karel programs at the beginning and end if a calling program. The loading karel program could store the name of the loaded program into a string register, and your call program could use that to call indirectly.

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

    Check out my example Fanuc Ethernet/IP Explicit Messaging program here!

    Edited once, last by Nation: Misread where the files were stored. (April 13, 2024 at 4:51 PM).

    Hi,

    I would like to do the inverse of this. I would like to output a force log (.csv file) generated by the robot to an external harddisk or PC connected to the controller via ethernet or USB connection using KAREL. Currently I am able to write it to a USB stick connected to UD1:. I would like to eliminate using a USB stick as that creates more operation issues.
    How can I write to a specific location in a laptop or an external harddisk connected via USB or FTP connection, whichever is easier?
