The ability to use string registers in mixed logic IF statements instead of being forced to use the old IF.... JMP LBL[] to check a string reg.

The fastest way to get a TP program out of roboguide (to my knowledge) is to save the cell, then go to tools -> "your workcell" folder. Then within the popup window navigate to the savepoints folder->most recent save. This is a backup of all the files on your virtual robot, from here you can pick out the TP program you want.
There are other ways to do this aswell like exporting to the loadset or FTP.

Perform a Controlled start then: Menu -> Next -> Program Setup
Here you can change the number of available PR's aswell as other items such as UFRAMEs.
When finished with your changes: FCTN->Cold Start

You can use the RUN instruction in background logic to asynchronously execute the _HANDSHAKE program. Just need to be careful of timing.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

As far as I can tell, there is no official documentation that includes information on the GI mode of override select. No mention in the HandlingTool Setup and Operations manual V9.40 (MAROUHT9410201E REV B) or the help menus of our V9.30 R-30iB mate plus. Both of these documents only include info on the original DI mode of override select. Maybe I am looking in the wrong manuals?
One would assume the override will change according to the value assigned to the GI, within a valid range of 1-100.
Can anyone offer some additional info on how this mode of override select works? Or why Fanuc hasn't updated their manuals?
Thanks!

Are the new light curtains nuisance tripping which is causing the fence off alarm in the robot?

What do you mean by "control the robot in real time"?
Generally something like this is done by generating a program offline, loading it onto the robot, then starting the robot from some kind of cell interfacing such as a PLC.
Is this what you are trying to accomplish?
If so, how are you generating the .ls file that you would feed into the ascii loader?

Is there a way to teach the TCP of a 4 axis palletizer robot or is direct entry from CAD data the only option.
The specific robot I am dealing with is a kawasaki CP300L however I choose this thread category as I am curious about TCP defining options for any 4 axis palletizers.
It looks like traditional 4 point method won't work as it requires the mounting flange to be at a different orientation for each approach point.
Is there some way to teach some number of points around a teaching jig (that a 4 axis can reach) and calculate a TCP from that, then direct enter the calculated TCP?
Thanks!

The parameter name instruction is not limited to those 8 variables. You can type in any system variable.
When the pendant shows those 8 vars after choosing, press PREV, then press ENTER on the "$..."

What camera/vision system are you using?
Generally this is done by calibrating the camera with a checkerboard grid, then teaching a Uframe on that grid so that the camera and robot "agree" on a coordinate plane.

Does anyone know what the $HOSTS_CFG[]$PWRD_TIMOUT system variable does?
How does it differ from the $HOSTS_CFG[]$TIMEOUT variable?
Thanks!

You cannot "CALL" a program from BG logic but you can asynchronously "RUN" a program from BG logic.
I am doing the exact same thing in one of my cells to abort from BG and it works great.

You can use matrix math to "convert" a point between frames. I think the karel manual has a good explanation of how this works.
Nation recently made some .tp programs to make doing matrix math on a fanuc much easier. You can find them here: No Karel or Vision Tools? Now introducing Matrix Math in TP!

For anyone having this issue in the future.
I figured out that the issue only happens to the first robot to be turned on in the cell. You can make a "dummy" robot and always turn that one on first before the other robots. This will allow all the teach pendants you need to work normally.

Forgot to mention. The "Legacy" mode still works. But if I try to open the teach pendant in iPendant mode. It gives the script error.

Hello All,
I have a Roboguide cell with 6 robots in it. Everytime I try to open the virtual teach pendant for a certain robot it gives me a script error (see attachment).
This only happens on a specific robot. If I open the teach pendant for the other robots in the cell it works fine. Strange thing is that this problem has moved between robots before. For example, robot 5 used to give this error, now robot 6 gives it but robot 5 works fine.
I am running roboguide as admin. Using Roboguide V9.4
Thanks for any help you can offer!
