We are currently facing a critical issue with our setup involving a Fanuc Arcmate 100iD robot and a Fronius TPS500 welding system. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
Problem Description:
- We are using the Fanuc robot to perform welding tasks.
- When we attempt to use the ARC START instruction, the robot fails to weld, and we receive an ARC013 alarm.
- Surprisingly, when we use the WELD START instruction, the system operates smoothly without any errors.
- We have tried various approaches, including job calling and special two-step methods, but the issue persists.
System Details:
- Fanuc Robot: Arcmate 100iD , R30iBPLUS
- Welding System: Fronius TPS500
- Communication: Ethernet IP
Specific Questions:
- Is there a way to configure the system to use ARC START instead of WELD START? We need to ensure consistency across our processes.
- Are there any specific settings or variables we should check to resolve the ARC013 alarm issue?
- Could you provide any documentation or guidance related to this specific situation?
We have exhausted our internal troubleshooting efforts, and we urgently need your expertise to overcome this challenge. Any insights, recommendations, or documents you can provide would be immensely helpful.
