Thank you very much for all the answers, finally I completely changed the procedure as my robot does not cooperate with me

Based on Fanucpy found on github, I will program the movements via SM, this way I will eliminate any memory problems and "I will program" the robot via Python.

So I have a question open to everyone, especially people in industry (I'm in school and don't have all the information)

If you had the ability to control your robot via a python script, what functions would you be interested in?

I am currently implementing:

- movements

- register reading and writing

- I/O

- average speed

- power consumption

If anyone has advice on other things to implement that could be useful in the industry please feel free to give me advice and I will try to apply it

Edit: I know there are other libraries that can do certain things, but I prefer to put everything in one library

Good morning everyone,

Does anyone have experience with Fanuc FTP? file transfer protocol.

I need to create a procedure for which the robot automatically fetches one file at a time from an external memory (A memory card inserted via adapter into the PCMCIA port), executes it and deletes it from the Teach pendant, before getting another one etc. The robot and controller are as follows: LR mate 200ic, R30iA

Would anyone have any idea how to do this and could help me or give me some advice?

Thanks everyone in advance

Thanks so much for your help, I've moved forward with the project and can provide some answers/ask more questions.

1) for those who may be interested: the syntax in .LS files is of secondary importance, ditto for the Headers, in fact if roboguide is used as an intermediary it will automatically correct all this

2) Unfortunately the loader is not available to me, so I am forced to use roboguide

3.1) how can I check the available memory and maximum memory of my robot?

3.2) Should I translate the files from a CAM into TP/LS format or should I be interested in Karel? it would be an important job that I would only do if it was worth it, which is why I ask someone who has more experience

3.3) In case I have to use Karel or something else, can you direct me to a method to keep the program in the PLC (Beckhoff, so technically it is a Windows computer) and when necessary the robot requests the next part to continue the task automatically? or something similar (I'm a newbie)

The purchase of components for the robot is possibly to be avoided according to the guidelines of my project, since I am doing prototyping (feasibility analysis) and when the project is valid this will be continued on another robot based on my instructions

Thank you very much for the valuable information, unfortunately our NX does not allow direct export to TP so I have to translate the code in Python.

Also I think I understand that putting files directly into the robot is problematic, so if I go through Roboguide can I have larger files and no problem with the ASCII Upload?

I also have a .lc file found on the internet. we can divide it into three parts, where the second is the code and the third are the coordinates.

In the first part there is various information such as: Memory size, Control_code, TCD, line count, ....

If I create a .lc file from scratch I have to add these lines, otherwise Roboguide won't accept the program, or can I not do it and it does everything by itself? In this case, programming a translator would be simple, but I would be surprised if it were.

Good morning everyone,

I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm looking for information:

I want to create my robot's trajectories via CAM (NX CAM), therefore the software provides me with the steps to follow to carry out the operations (the objective is to do additive manufacturing of carbon fiber with the robot).

With these coordinates I intend to create a program in Python that translates into a language understandable by the robot, and then upload this code to Roboguide or directly into the robot (LR Mate 200iC). I could directly load the points and modify the code in roboguide, but since these will be many, with many operations on the DOs (for example to activate the extrusion of the material etc.), it would be an unnecessarily laborious job and I would like to optimize it like "I translate the code and the robot is ready to print"

My question is how to do it, from a translated code to inserting information into the robot, has anyone already done a similar job?

I found online that I could go through .ls files but there are various lines (the first ones) of code that I wouldn't know how to predict.

In summary, what do you recommend translating my trajectories into and how do you recommend providing them to the robot?

Thank you for your availability, and I hope my text is understandable (my native language is not English )

thank you so much for the immediate response:)

can you tell me if this variable is reliable? so if the robot is accelerating does the value change as the robot accelerates? I'll test it tomorrow, I'll try to insert the value into a group for the outputs

Regarding speed output, do you have a link to provide me? It seems like a very interesting solution and I would like to evaluate it based on the budget.

Good morning everyone,

I'm new to this forum and found many interesting articles,

I'm an engineering student and I'm trying to create a 6-axis 3D printer for composite materials thanks to a fanuc robot (LR Mate 200iC) with controller R-30iA Mate.

to adjust the extrusion via the PLC I would like to read the current speed of the robot. the technical service advised me to use the $TCPPSPEED.$vspeed variable, Unfortunately, however, I cannot find it in the list of variables, even if I set PATH PRIORITY in CONTROLLED START.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can find it or can you recommend a variable that reads this speed in real time? Without it I cannot advance the project

especially to deposit the fiber it is important that the speed of the motor and the robot coincide, otherwise it could break or deform, losing its properties.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
