If you have a mechanism for your tool and you make adjustments to the tool. You will need to detach the tool and reattach the tool to update the TCP. In the real robot, you will need 2 tools if you are going to the hard stops of the cylinder.
The second issue looks like you do not move all the parts into you parts. You can create groups to make sure all parts are in the right group
You should be able to use the I\O Monitor under the Simulation Tab.
Do you know which of this robot jobs has to be adjusted to load different patterns?
Are you using PLC control or Robot control on your setup of the Cell?
If using Robot control then you can assign the new part from the build station on the robot pendant. Either mode you can assign through message commands from the PLC. no need to modify code for different patterns.
You should be able to do this with message commands from the PLC. The information is in the 178651-1CD Manual Ethernet_IP. Not sure of your application and if this is fast enough for you.
I had that problem, it was all related to the firewall settings. The reinstall may have fixed the setting to allow through the firewall.
