I'm still having trouble uploading files.. but i posted a file save in this tread on Jan 22nd which should be accurate.
I'll have to get a PCMCIA card, I'm assuming I'm need to connect to the card through my computer also?
Thanks

I did, Some Japanese text returns when I press EXIT.. Do I have the right firmware? Because my screen doesn't look like the ones in the manuals for the type 2 MFP..
See Video:

How do I get the "teach screen"? There seems to be no buttons on the pendant screen to access an extended menu..
-
Of course, I'm firstly trying to jog it. See steps:
- power on controller
- set the controller to "teach" and "run"
- press motor enable on the controller
- orange lamp illuminates
- Set the pendant teach lock to "on"
- hold in dead man switches
- I can hear motors enable
- whenever I press any of the axis + - arrows on the MFP the pendant just beeps three times fast and no movement
For some reason the forum wont let me upload images so here is a YouTube video of what's happening:
I also Don't have/can't find an operator's manual for the C80 Controller, anybody have one?

So I Spent some money and got a certified refurbished 50817-1260 and installed it with a square connector. Though same issue as in the previous post. "TEACH LOCK is ON" when I try to execute the program and I still cant jog.. Is there some sort of homing command or calibration command I need to run before the robot can move? What exactly do I do to jog it?
-
Still looking at Pendants.. Is the memory card important? If so what specific kind does it need?

I've got a pendant! It was a 50817-1260R00 with the cord cut off so I got it at a discount. I bought and installed some cord and a male square connector quadruple checking all 18 connections as I fixed up the pendant. I powered on and it seemed to work! Screen lit up the buttons pressed but the touch screen doesn't work in the middle section of the screen. Would this replace the touch screen?

The motors enable and when I set the switches on the controller to "Run' and "Teach" and hold in one of the dead man switches on the pendant. I can hear the brakes deactivate and the motors enable and hold their positions. Though I couldn't figure out how to jog the robot through the pendant, none of the buttons seemed to do anything..
I created a program called "test" through the terminal software where it just called the "HOME" command but I can't get it to execute.. I have the switches on the controller set to "Run' and "Repeat" and the "Teach Lock" switch on the pendant was set to "off" but it threw an error saying "ERROR (-202) Cannot execute program, TEACH LOCK is ON." (I would have sent "EX test" but the "S" part of the screen doesn't work) I toggled the switch only to get the same error. So I opened up the pendant and probed the contacts on the switch. The board is connected to the COM and the NC on the "Teach Lock" switch. I unplugged the "Teach Lock" switch from the board in the pendant and probed the COM and the NC, with either position the switch was in the contacts wouldn't close or had any resistance while between the COM and the NO worked fine. I thought it was a bad contact so I jumped the pins on the board for the "Teach Lock" switch and still got the same error. I removed the jumper and kept the switch unplugged and the same error. Is this a case where the board is looking for a resistance reading through the switch or is something on the board bad? The Part# on the switch is AS6-Y

Good to know, thanks!

Never mind, I figured out how to upload more than one in a single post..

Here is what the terminal looked like:
-
The batteries came in early! I followed the given procedures to change the batteries in both the robot and controller. No More error I powered up the controller and terminal software and I see a "ERROR (-600)Motor power OFF." I press the Motor Power button on the controller two more times and the same error message returns two more times. Next thing I did was a SAVE alldata. I attached the returned file:
I put the two alldata.as.txt files (before and after battery change) in difference checker. The only difference before and after the battery change was "CONT_TIM" on line 298. Before battery change it was 29.0 now its 29.2. Which I'm assuming is just a timer and doesn't matter that much?
The manuals say Error (-600) is "Motor power OFF. Displayed whenever an emergency
stop is encountered" So this means my safety circuit is open? The estop button is not pressed and I also tried cycling the estop and pressing error reset. I'm assuming its the estop button on the missing pendant.. Is there a way to know what the pin designations are on the pendant's plug so I could jumper them out for now?
I found some TP, the plugs don't match but if I make an adapter will any of these work?:

Thanks! I appreciate you looking into it Super excited to get it moving! Here's the part numbers:
I'm for sure looking to get a TP I'm just unsure which one will work with as little hassle as possible without running me over $500...
-
Thanks, yeah my bad. Where did you see the setting should be 1? Before I ignorantly set it to 1 the controller said the current setting was 90, so the second time I ran ZROBOT I set it back to 90 (as seen in the previous image).
I did a save alldata and attached is the generated file:
I'm still waiting for the replacement batteries to install so this is as far as I've gotten.

Alright I've installed KCwin on my Windows10 PC, got an RS232 to USB converter, Installed drivers for the USB converter, Set the COM port for KCwin, and now successful communication First thing I tried, just like cguenther, was the ZROBOT command. The maintenance sheets that came in the controller are labeling the Type: FC006NFC80001 and the S/N: 014. the controller originally had the type set to 90 but the first time it started the controller I set it to 1 because the maintenance sheets said it was an FC. But since I got the "ERROR (-1249)Servo parameter changed!" The second time I started the controller (as seen in the image) I set it back to 90 and still the same error.
Looks like the batteries need replaced, what batteries are compatible with the arm and controller? Any manuals etc.. on replacing those or should I "go in blind"?
I'm actually based in Ohio, USA so that sounds like quite the trip for you..
Excited to see if that TP works for you, if so I'll be following in you foot steps there.
It did come with a spare of each keys, I'd be happy to ship them to you for free just send over some prepaid shipping labels

Thank you
I'm unable to put multiple photos in one reply so:
The robot and controller were purchased at the same time from an ebay seller who claimed it was fully functional.
Upon power the error indicator lamp powers on and clears when I press error clear button.
The only time I got the terminal software to return anything was after Is had sit idle for 1-2 hrs and displayed what was seen in the photo

This is really cool how I found this page! I bought an FC006N a few months ago and have been trying to take this same journey. Although with the lack of support and documentation I really couldn't move forward with the project. It looks like I have everything I need except for the teach pendant:
I called Kawasaki to figure out what would be compatible and they gave me this part number: 50817-1231 (Which turns up nothing at all, I cant even find proof that such a part# exists). What was the part# of the TP your using? and how exactly did you get it connected?
The controller came with a floppy disk that had KCwin ver. KCW000-7 (for Windows 3.1, 95) That I opened up in an old Windows 95 machine, but couldn't get the controller to respond through the RS232 port, or the terminal software to do anything really. Where can I download KCwin32? Looks Like your running on Windows 7?
