Yes, it is that simple

Hi,

I have a YRC1000 which is running with a system job, supplied by an external company.

To resolve an issue, they have sent a new system job to overwrite the existing

When I attempt to overwrite, I get the error "Defined Job name". I attempted to make the changes manually, but I can't find how to access the system job. I understand the option has been activated by Yaskawa, but I can't find where to access it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Burt

Thanks for the response. I've looked at the ladder but I can't seem to find anything related to the two IOs I'm looking for.

Could it be possible there is another way it is using the signal? Or could I be misunderstanding the ladder?

Hello,

I have a YRC1000 which is being controlled by an external controller, but I am struggling to understand how it is getting a start signal.

It has one wired input which is used for general purpose input, which somehow is turning on the servos and starting the robot at the same time. I believe this is in conjunction with other criteria to allow it to start, as I am unable to force it to work through activating this input out of process. The external start specific input is hard linked to a general purpose output.

My question is - how might this signal be used to start the robot? Have I probably missed something which is also enabling start?

When I "wadded up" my U-axis I had to look internally to properly check the harmonic drive, but externally the symptoms were a jerky movement on that axis, which goes away when the brakes are manually released.

We had to get the drive replaced, not a cheap fix unfortunately.

Hi,

I am attempting a repair of a Yaskawa GP7, and one of the steps is to remove the ME075N2-A seal. I can't see any non-destructive means of doing this.

Has anyone attempted this before? If so, how should I approach this removal?

Thanks,
