  • PNS program select program

    Quote from DS186

    i changed the setting that you mentionned, the problem now the PNS used on plc program cannot turned ON but if its not used i can toggle it at ON . on picture below you see PNS1,PNS2 and PNS3 is used by the PLC but others one i can toggle it to ON manually and i can see it on robot.

    But when i come to start a program from what is selected on PLC PNS1 for example it should select PNS0001 on robot but they gave me an error and PNS1 sont turn ON ( see the image below they said SYST-014 Program select failed and MEMO-073 Program does not exist ) but the program PNS0001 is there ( the job base is 0 not 100) all setting seems to be ok

    the setting that is mentionned for MapPnsRsrSignal it was not there i added the variable as string value and give a false value and i restarted roboguide(thats what i did)

  • PNS program select program

    Hey Guys,

    i m trying to start the robot with pns method but i got stucked, all config is good(prg select is PNS, config UI enable prod start is depend on pns strobe and the controller is set to remote). the comm is working between the plc and roboguide i can send and receive the data. However, for example i want to select prg PNS0001, i send from the plc PNS1 to but UI[9] never come ON even if the plc set a true for UI[9] . i attached the picture on the plc is on but on robot is never get on so the program never selected and don t get the ACK signal ACK1. any help

    Quote from asharma7

    Yes, I do have the basic knowledge of FANUC and also the Handling Pro Book from my previous school training. Do you think it will help for a quick reference if I get stuck on a question?

    I'm sorry for silly questions, the fact that it costs $200 and if I don't' pass, I will have to take the whole course.

    i was in same situation i didn't want to take the whole course, i don't know what is covered in handling pro book, you need to understand for example if you have a singularity problem you shoul dmove your axis 5 in JNT by +-10deg, PR[1,3] is z eleement on pr1 something like that i thought it was hard but i get 90% at the end, i think you could llok at handling pro manual 2400pages

    Hi! Can you provide some more details about the exam on what I should be expecting? I did the CERT course in 2019 and was around robots working as Controls Engineer. I refreshed the contents through the book I got during CERT which is the same as the basic level course.

    Hi Asharma7, i will say you should know general basic of the robot like payload parameter, signularity, PR parameter, IO and their type,Marco program, copy and past ... it all what i remember but if you already familiar with it. there is 75 question and you should get 80% of 75 question

  • Ethernet/IP option Fanuc

    Quote from AustinC03

    Usually when you purchase the Ethernet/IP option, you have to provide an F# and if it's not licensed under you're company they most likely won't give it to you.

    I don't know first hand if it doesn't work, but based on the Ethernet/IP options I've installed they're specific to the robot F#.

    But if i give the F number of the robot that we bought from fanuc, but it will be installed on other robot that have different F number idk how to deal with that honestly

  • Ethernet/IP option Fanuc

    Hi everyone,

    I have two FANUC M-20iA robots with different controllers (R-30iB and R-30iB Plus). One of them was purchased used at an auction, while the other was bought new directly from FANUC.When I contacted FANUC to purchase the Ethernet/IP option for the used robot, I was informed that I must relicense the used robot under my company's name before I can buy the option. Unfortunately, the relicensing process is quite costly 4000$CAD.

    I am wondering if it’s possible to purchase the Ethernet/IP option for the new robot we bought from FANUC(with the F number of this robot) and activate it on the used robot instead (with different F number). Would this approach work, even though the option is officially tied to the new robot and one controller is R30iB and other one is R30iB PLUS?

    Additionally, do KUKA robots operate under similar licensing models, or are they more flexible with transferring or purchasing software options for used robots?

    i don't understand why FANUC charges extra fees simply because the robot wasn’t originally purchased directly from them, and this seems to add an unnecessary burden for customers.

    Thank you for your guidance on this matter.

    Best regards,

  • R-30ib controller power input with auto transformer

    Quote from gpunkt

    As long as your supply transformer has equal or more power (6kVA > 3kVA) than the robot requires, then you should be fine as far as available power goes.


    But most important is that your input voltage to the robot main breaker is within spec.
    Also pay attention to the setting of the transformer in the robot, make sure it's set to "380 to 400", otherwise you're in for some BBQ...

    yes, on the controller the part number of transformer A80L-0024-0029 and on fanuc manual they said is compatible with 200 to 230V or 380 to 400V. so the auto transformer that i will use is attached in picture below. I will connect my source of 600V to H1-H2-H3 and( to have 400V i should connect X7-X8-X9 or to have 208V X1-X2-X3) both should be in range of of fanuc transformer Unless i'm wrong

  • R-30ib controller power input with auto transformer

    Hello Guys,

    Our team bought a fanuc robot M-20iB with controller R-30iB Cabinet A. in our plant we have 600V 3phase but the controller it come with transformer Type that can receive 200-230V ou 380-400V 3KVA (Attached picture for reference). so if i go with an auto transformer step down from 600V to 380V 6KVA it should be correct ? because i already used an auto transformer for KRC4 controller and it worked fine and i want be sure it should be fine to use an auto transformer for R-30ib ?

  • kuka safe operation v 3.4

    Quote from panic mode

    if the safeop is not enabled, check if brake test is forced:

    upload working project from KRC, then check Editors>Additional Controller Settings is "Force brake test" is checked.

    if not, you may have to do go brute force and comment out driver in INI file:

    C\KRC\Roboter\Config\User\Common\MotionDrivers\motiondrv.ini

    Hi Panic,

    Thank tou for the information, I will try it tomorrow and i will give the news. Thank s again

  • kuka safe operation v 3.4

    Hello Guys,

    I'm working on application for machine tending, i'm using kuka arm robot with krc4 controller KSS 8.5.8. We bought used cell and the controller cames with safe operation package v 3.4. I disabled safe monitoring and i'm still facing some warning/error(attached on picture) related to brake test. There is anyway to disable brake test function because i'm not using for the moment safe operation package.

  • Kuka robot krc4 controller process of user request

    Quote from hermann

    SkyFire already told.

    You use:

    Code
    For Column=1 to 4
 for Row=1 to 9
  ...
 endfor
endfor

    Read SkyFires post in thread mentioned above. He uses xCounter and YCounter.

    Now think about interrupting normal flow by user to fix something in cell in the middle of your nested loop in comparison to counters.

    When you reset the program and start from beginning the loop begins from first part. The counter version begins with actual part. That's the difference. But that has been already told by SkyFire.

    Now I catch what you mean, i test it with counter it work, tomorrow i will try to implement the logic of user request. I will share the news tomorrow thanks again

  • Kuka robot krc4 controller process of user request

    Quote from hermann

    First thing you have to do is to change your drawer programs to a different logic. As Skyefire and panic_mode already told on this thread RE: KRC4.

    You should use the solution of Skyefire with the counter, not the nested loops, otherwise you will run Into problems after restarting.

    Second: in the interrupt only set a flag and use return instead of resume. In main program check for the flag in appropriate places , if flag is set, go to home.

    Hello Herman,

    Normally is the same kind of logic between the counter or nested loop each time you will increment your counter or for loops until you reach you max on x and y. I do love want to know why counter will be advantage for user request ? But i will try it to see difference

  • Fanuc training handlingpro

    Quote from AustinC03

    I did the exam instead of the course. All you have to do is contact Fanuc and they will send you an Exam through your Customer Portal.


    Edit: Along with that it costs $200 to even take the test. (According to FANUC Academy; where you find the opt out exam)

    how did you find the exam ? because i know only the basic like utool uframe, different coordinate system cnt vs fine, offset exct but i don't know the question of the exam is basic or is tricky ?

  • Kuka robot krc4 controller process of user request

    Quote from panic mode

    I would keep that simple ... let robot stay on programmed path...

    When user presses request button, set a bit to remember request. Turn on light to let user know thar request is pending.

    In your loop find convenient place where robot goes home or has clear path to hone

    At that place add check if requested access is pending. If so move to home position and wait for access to take place and complete.... For example to confirm that access us taking place, check if user safety is tripped. Save that as access i.n progress. When access i. In progress is set but user safety is cleared, reset everything related to access request and resume cycle

    i started how i will implement it, i attached picture below for better understading. My program drawer 1 is the robot start at home then will open drawer1 and he will feed cnc machine, when all part are machined then he will close drawer1 and go back home and then do samething with drawer2 (when robot working on drawer1 or 2 he will go back home once part on drawers are done) thats why i didn't find a good place to add check home inside drawer 1 or 2 routine. i don't want to check my home until drawer is closed because its take a time for it. i attached second picture for better understanding how my drawer1 or 2 works

  • Fanuc training handlingpro

    Hello Guys,

    I would like to do some training of fanuc robot because i have some project for fanuc robot integration, i did a project where integrated a fanuc lr mate 200id with Ab plc and irvision 2d system. I want to do the advance one but its seems that i should with basic one (its the prerequisite for the advanced one). If i don t want to follow the basic one i should a pass a test that called General HandlingTool Opt Out Exam. I would like to know if someone already did the exam instead of the basic course? If yes, how did you find it ? I have a done the basic and advanced for kuka because i never worked worked with kuka robot that s why i followed both of them but for Fanuc i already used in past

  • Kuka robot krc4 controller process of user request

    Quote from SkyeFire

    It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want instant response, then an Interrupt is the way to go. But that means that you will have to have a safe "interrupt path" programmed for everywhere along your regular path, to ensure you don't hit anything.

    The simpler approach would be to select certain points along your production path to be "branch points", and add IF/THEN statements at those branch points that check the inputs, and change behavior based on the inputs.

    ok like on my interrupt routine i can check if robot inside cnc or outside and based on that i can create a safe path when robot inside cnc (of course i should check my gripper, my check chuck ext) and depend which zone i can add safe path to home postion and then once user is out of cell he can press a button then the robot will resume operation i will try something and get back to you if i have a question
