Thank you Hermann.
Another Question, is it possible to upgrade your own robot without the manufacturers support?

ROBOT_G The problem is uploading it back to the TP. You Cant upload ASCII files without that paid option installed on your robot. You can convert LS to TP using maketp.exe found in winOLPC - but apparently you have to choose your robot config in winOLPC first?
How do you know which version of FRVRC matches your robot? my robot is 16-iB/R-3jC V7.20/12 P, so do i need FRVRC720 or doesn't it work like that?
Thank you HawkME and asdf.
Ultimately I want to generate gcode on my PC and feed it to the robot real time, and ultimately incorporate feedback to adjust the movement to account for variations in my process. For robomachining and 3D printing. I was planning on using roboDK for this.
My next step is to generate a program on my PC, convert it to LS file and upload it via ethernet to the robot and start the program.
I have installed trial versions of olpcpro and roboguide, and i can FTP files to and from the robot, but I have not been able to setup my exact robot in a cell yet, which i believe i have to do in order for maketp.exe to work?
Please help with advice on which version of roboguide to use for M-16iB/R-J3iC software edition no V7.20P/12?
Thank you in advance.
Is it possible to add options from Roboguide virtual backup and load onto real robot?
hi MoEL, can you share how you achieved connecting Robot from PC?
I've Bought a second hand robot and want to unlock more usefulness by setting up control from my PC.
Ive spent hours reading threads and trying to piece together solutions and have tried a few things, but now i thought i should just ask what tools and methods are you using to control your (older) robot from your PC?
If i could source a copy of the ASCII upload option would it be possible to copy it onto the pendant? Would it need to be from the same controller ? R-3JiC/R30iA
Fanuc in my country gave me an initial estimate of $300 now have come back with $1200 and its taken them 5 Months!
Are their any other methods to control the robot in real time from a PC? please share any details of solutions you know work.
Thanks
Steve
Hi Everybody. I have a diferent way for make this. maybe is unpractical, but work if you take care with the details. and if you dont have the fanuc programs like me.
First, i make a backup from the program Robot in ascci. This Backup is a *.ls file and save it in the Directory selected. in my case, the TP Usb port.
...
Your files can be loaded in ¨.ls" and automatyc be transfer like a TP program. Open your Directory, find your file and select "load". Now your file is loaded and it must work if you make all the steps.
I think you have the ASCII upload option installed, without this the Teach Pendant will not accept the file upload
Hi jgmouldings, I too have a M-16iB driven by a R-3jC. Are you able to share
Any help connection to and from this controller would be great. This robot runs on the pendant, but i want to get it working with my PC. Ive been waiting 5 months for Fanuc to install ASCII upload, and they have come back and quadruppled the intial estimate, they are asking approx $1200 for it?!
Do you have this option on your Robot? can you share your full backup?
