  • Analog vs group input

    Thx for the reply.
    So it is possible to use analog inputs for this. Then why should I bother to config group inputs, if I can just use virtual analog inputs for this?
    Is it because the max value is limited?

  • Analog vs group input

    If I have a PLC-Profibus-Robot setup. And I want to control the override with the plc.
    Then I can do this with a group input, make a register equal and override = Register. Is this also possible with an analog input?
    If yes, then why or in what situation is it better to use a group input?

  • External axis and userframe question

    Is your track a SubGroup or another Group. When it is another Group, you have to define Userframes for this group, and define this in your program.
    For example: UFRAME_NUM[GP1] = 3 or UFRAME_NUM[GP1,3] = 2


    When it's a subgroup, I don't think you'll be able to this.

  • Offset robot programs by 45 degress

    If your program is teached the correct way. All your point should be teached from a UserFrame. Just rotate the UserFrame 45° and all your points teached from that user frame will follow. This is the reason you should use UserFrames.

  • Axis limit J4

    Behind the cover there is no grease, otherwise the cable would constantly be in grease. And your cable inlet would leak some I guess.
    If you take of the cover you'll see if the limit is 200 or 360. I think it's 200.

  • Lock override in AUTO mode

    I know there are a couple of variables to set the override.
    When you cold start, change coordinates, tp enable, ...


    I can't find a variable, to change override to 100% when I put the robot in AUTO mode.
    I know some work arounds, but I'm looking for a variable.

  • Axis limit J4



    There is no grease behind the cover, only the rolled up cable.
    Check if the cable fix behind the cover is bend. If it's bend, you have put to much torsion on the cables.

  • M710iC noise

    Quote from fuzco


    Mhmmm every motor is different from another, also if is the same model, when you receive a new motor from fanuc you should receive also the new data to insert in the robot to manage the motor as well.


    I have changed a lot of motors on Fanuc robots, and never had to read in other parameters. All servo parameters are connected to the type of robot, as chipprogr said. If correct software is loaded, correct servo param are loaded. I'm thinking a hardware faillure, not software....

  • T1 exucution speed not increse above of 5 % fanuc

    If I'm understanding correctly, you need to set your T1 override limit back to 5%...
    This is set in the variable $MSKRUNOVLIM. This must be 5, to set the limit to 5%.
    Only possible to change this one in controlled start, or write the variable from TP program.

  • Axis limit J4

    Don't expand the axis limit for J4. You'll brake the cables!!!! Also if you ever have to master the robot. Take off the black cover from J4, to see the torsion on the cables. Lots of people master the robot at 360° instead of 0°. One cycle start and the cables are gone.
    My advise: decrease the limits, never increase the limits.

  • M710iC noise

    Because you already changed the motor, I'm thinking internal cables of the robot.
    Try and switch cables from J3 with J2 and see if the noise is on J2.
    Or measure the resistance in the cable.


    When you replaced the motor, how was the grease looking? Black or brown/yellow?

  • to fine RESPCA key on R-J controller

    On R-J:


    $MCR.$spc_reset


    Name: Serial Pulse Coder Reset
    Description: If the software detects that the serial pulse coder has changed
    more than the tolerance during the cycle power, an alarm will be posted. The
    system variable $MCR.$spc_reset allows you to reset the pulse code mismatch
    error.
    Power Up: Changes to this variable take effect immediately.

  • Super secret variable list

    I agree with Nation. Knowing some of these variables can make our life so much easier.
    For instance, on a thread I found: $MCR_GRP[1].$servo_disbl[9]. This one saved me already a lot of hours troubleshooting.
    I think everybody should post usefull variables so we can list them.

  • Paint controller

    A small question about the fanuc paint controllers.
    They all have a battery box assembly inside, which is the standard 4 batteries holder + 1 extra battery holder.
    What's the use of this extra 1 battery holder?


    Kind regards

  • Memory full - R30iB

    There is an option called TP DRAM (R709). This allows you to run programs from external memory cards.
    I never used it and don't find extra info on google, so for more details you better contact your local Fanuc sub.

  • All of above with Kfloppy

    When I try to take an all of above on R-J2 controller with RS232 and Kfloppy, I get a directory error.
    When I take System files, programs and applications seperately, no problem.


    Am I the only one having this problem? Is there a solution?
