  • How to run LS file through the USB

    Do you know what version of robot you have? Anything v9.4 or higher exports .ls files with a "LOCAL_REGISTERS" line in the program settings at the top. Unless someone else has a solution, I have not been able to download these .ls files to the robot via USB until I delete this line. Maybe this would be something you can check?

  • EXCHANGING STRINGS BETWEEN TP AND KAREL

    I know this is years out, but here is what I have found out.

    We are working with a V7.4 robot and had issues attempting to download some .pc files. I opened up the backdate.dt file of our robot in RoboGuide and was unable to compile our .kl into a .pc. I kept getting the GET_STR_REG and SET_STR_REG to fail.

    I then did some testing and started at V9.4 and compiled the same .kl file. It worked. Did V8.3 - worked. Did V7.7 - it worked. Did V7.4 - it fails. Did V7.5 - it worked.

    @teomannaskali it seems like Fanuc had a KAREL language update after V7.4 that included GET_STR_REG() and SET_STR_REG(). This is probably why it cannot be found in the manual (Karel Reference Manual Ver 7.3 Rev B).

    Does anyone know a manual that describes what these two functions do? I want to attempt to replicate what the functions do, using V7.4. Could I also upgrade the robot to V7.7?

  • KSS v8.7 Missing Functions

    Hello,

    I am trying to implement a Wiest AG RotoLab TCP Calibrator on my robot. This is a KR50R2500 running on a KRC5 Controller using KSS v8.7. (V8.7 is a "functional twin" of v8.6 - v8.6 is for KRC4 controllers and v8.7 is for KRC5) One of their programs that is provided using the functions "SQRT()" and "INV_POS()". Both of these state, "The declaration of the function 'SQRT' was not found." I have looked in the manual, KSS_86_SI_en.pdf, and inside the manual, both functions are mentioned. However, even after copying the manual's examples, I come up with the same error on WV. My current version of WV is 6.0.27. Am I missing something? Did KUKA dump these functions moving from KRC4 to KRC5? How do I get these functions to be recognized by the robot? Is this an additional package option? Such as "Advanced Math Functions Packages" or something?

  • UserTech 4.0 acting up

    Panic Mode,

    Maybe you can help me out with this as well. I have UserTech (V4.0.19) on the KR C5 controller, but I was not able to update from (V4.0.18) like normal using the Option Package Management. I had to delete the 18 from the controller and then add the new one into it.

    This allowed me to use the "Test" package for UserTech, but where I am struggling is how to add new .kfg files to the robot.

    From what I have read, there should be a UserTech folder under TP, much like the GripperSpotTech folder. My robot does not have this option - so I tried adding it myself and I come up with no such luck.

    I can send you the (V4.0.19) and see if you have any luck with that?

    Where do you place your .kfg files so you can select them from the smartpad?
