A wait command is usually halting program execution until a certain "condition" is met. For example, waiting until a certain amount of time has passed, or waiting until an input is turned on.

This ought to be a pretty amazing Starbucks when he gets everything figured out

Did a lot of digging in manuals yesterday, found absolutely nothing. I was only able to find the SRVO-508 error once and it did not go into any description. I would say your best bet would be to either call or email Fanuc support. Or if you want to do some digging yourself, Fanuc has their manuals on the user portal. Good luck

What robot and what controller?

Turns out the installation process wasn't writing any data to the frvirtual.exe config file. Had to copy over a coworkers file and it fixed the issue. Hopefully if anyone has the same issue in the future they know someone else with roboguide because that seemed to be Fanuc's last suggestion.

Have you read Roboguide installation error windows 11
Yep, tried with version 8.5 first then the latest from Fanuc's website and still no dice. My IT department is talking about completely wiping my PC and starting from scratch, which is obviously not preferred.

I have tried running the install as admin, restart, then run roboguide as admin. Fanuc sent me an installation guide that I follow when I attempt to reinstall the software that I will attach below. It seems to me like the Virtual Controllers are either being put in the wrong place by the installation, or Roboguide doesn't know where to look to find them.

Hello,
I am attempting to install Roboguide Rev9 onto my pc, but I am having issues with Roboguide not recognizing the Virtual Robot Controllers on my machine. I have followed fanuc's installation instructions to a T. Fanuc's only advice now is to keep trying to install the software until it works, which makes no sense. Attached below is the image of the error message I receive after my machine restarts and I try to open Roboguide. I can clearly see in my file explorer that the FRVRC's I selected are in the correct directory with all their files. Anyone have any suggestions?

Password Protection is a paid option sold by Fanuc, you should be able to configure who can do what on the pendant with this option package.

Makes sense. I work for an automation company and we have never quoted a robot without some sort of safety package/option. I will keep that in mind for future projects though. Thanks Sky

Absolutely NOT Safety-qualified. If we're talking about stopping distances from fences and/or light curtains (or other safety perimeters), $OV_PRO is not applicable.
Somewhat new to Kuka, maybe I misunderstood the original question. Just to clear this up for myself, If the goal is to permanently reduce the speed of the robot for everything done in T2 or Auto what would be the correct way of doing this other than reducing the speed override?
-
They may have changed how they do that process, as that was not the email that I received when I set up my account. I would email kuka support to try and figure this one out.

There is also this thread going further into determining stop time/distance
-
1. The System Variable $OV_PRO is what you are looking for if you want to reduce the speed while running programs. I believe the default value is 100.
2. If you have Kuka.Sim, there is an option for "Kuka Stop Services" under the program tab. This will simulate the stop test. Otherwise there is the option of doing a brake test but I am not sure if this will give you the time it took to stop, or if it will just let you know that the brakes passed or failed the test.

Forgive me, its been a while since I've done this. I believe as long as you were not given a disclaimer message about "contacting your local Kuka rep to continue the registration process" you should have been sent an email with a big orange button that says "verify email". If you got all of this and it still has not worked, I would email Kuka customer support. They are usually fairly quick to respond in my experience. They would be able to assist you further.

Did you attempt to register with a generical email like gmail/yahoo etc?
-
If the touch sense only occurs during this program/process then you can create a background logic program that will control the speed of the robot depending on the result of your If statement. If you are using offsets to determine the weave distance you could use the same if statement to also increase the side to side offset.

Log into my.kuka and click on the marketplace tab at the top. Click on software > engineering for robot systems > simulation series. Then click on product family kuka.sim. click on kuka.sim 4.1 F 1yr, then at the top right there should be a tab that says access trial, click on that and you will be given a product key used to access the sim software.

Absolutely right, that's how we used to do it. A personal goal of mine is to make the programs at least somewhat easy to read for the customer. Coming from a maintenance background I understand how frustrating it is to get called over to a robot issue and not be able to make heads or tails of the programming. Using BAS is perfectly fine, just depends on what your goals are.
