I see plenty of 16MB compact flash cards on eBay for reasonable cost. Seems faster than dealing with partitioning that might not work. Lots of compact flash to PCMCIA available when searching the internet too.

I've had same issue in the past on R-30iA that was linked to the amount of files the MD copy was making. Didn't matter if it was to UD1 or the PCMCIA on the Main Board. It seemed like it would not copy any more files after a certain amount (about 255 if I remember right). I deleted a few test files and it allowed that many more. I needed a certain VA so I worked around it twice by doing a file backup, deleting a bunch of TPs doing the MD copy and reloading the TPs.
When I get time, I'll get one of the R-30iA out of storage and try using FTP as suggested by HawkME in the thread found >HERE< or someone will have another solution.

droth is right. It was standard on the R-J2 Control Reliable controllers and part of the GM spec. That carried on to some of the newer controllers GM received to replaced worn R-J2s. Always had one of these jumpers in case someone was using the interface and you needed to troubleshoot. The plug did not jumper the fence circuit so you could jog and run the robot in teach, but not in Auto. Fence was 17-18 & 19-20.
If you want to build one, this is from my old notes:
-
If it doesn't have a Auto-T1-T2 mode switch on the op-panel, then it's a single run-chain. If it is, I'd try swapping the servo amp top board with another robot just to quickly rule it out. It's faster than digging the e-stop contactor out.

Not sure why there is a difference since it's the same part # for the rail on IRBT4004, 6004 & 7004. The tooth profile, spacing and distance from the back determines the gear mesh. The length of the tooth may be a difference in vendors.
I would make sure it's not alignment & leveling - those can be a bugger to get right. Another possibility is a twisted or bent rail. Heard plenty of stories from paint folks about lost time trying to install systems during shutdown where the rails got tweaked during handling.

I've used the 'A' on the end like Iowan did simply because it's faster.
Look at the procedure found >HERE< in the manuals section.
It's been quite a while, but I think deleting the image was the key.

Not sure if you have a single or dual channel runchain R-J3. I seem to remember dirty aux contacts on the contactors can cause this on the RIA controllers. That caused the KA1 relay on the e-stop board to not work and gave the door alarm. It would naturally be the problem because they're so hard to get to.

It should have worked. I use a lamp holder with leads and a 24V lamp to test outputs. Perhaps the PLC input card is the wrong type.
See if this helps your understanding:
Sinking and Sourcing is about conventional current flow where current is considered to flow from positive to negative. If we are providing the 24V, then we are the 'Source' of the current. If we are providing the ground, then we are accepting or 'Sinking' the current.
The AOD16D is a source. Think of the transistor as a switch, when it is on it connects the 24V at pin 1 to the output.
The AOD16C is a sinking output. The transistor acts as a switch, when it is on it connects the output to ground at pin 10.

For many applications, using the internal 24V works fine. If the run chain is monitored by other safety devices in the cell, then using the same 24V as the other cell components works out easier. A safety PLC monitoring multiple robots is a good example.

Make sure all the connections to the 1SV amp (SLU) are reseated. You should check to if it's getting the 200VAC 1-ph at r & t connection. It should since the power supply and the 2SV amp have power. If you are getting the voltage, looks like it may be internal to the amplifier. If you try another amplifier, it must the same part #. Seen larger amplifiers put in and burn up a motor.

There seems to a few DIN rail BOB options if you search for 68-pin SCSI with the 1.27mm (0.05") pitch. No luck with the WAGO part #.
In case you need it, attached is the datasheet for the HTK male 68-pin connector shown on the WAGO BOB in the picture of the Fanuc part # and another datasheet for its female mate.

If the 7-segment has a period, then it is most likely a communication issue between the pendant and the Main Board. Make sure the cables on the Panel Unit and the Main Board are properly seated in the correct places. I would try the pendant & cable from the R-J3iB M-6iB together as a single unit. This will keep a T.P. cable issue on the R-2000 from possibly damaging the iPendant.
-
Is that the right pendant for your R-J3iB? What part # is on the back? If Arc Welding overlay, should be A05B-2301-C372, not A05B-2301-C302.
The pendant cable should be 2004-T411/L=xxxx
The picture shows the initial teach pendant power up screen that clears once data is received from the controller. Check the 7-segment display on the Main Board to see if there is an error code. If it's a decimal point, then the controller booted fine and the problem is likely the teach pendant, teach pendant cable, or the panel board.

I always had good luck formatting my 32MB CF in a Fanuc R-J3 or R-J3iB. One time I did have a an XRC that would not read the 32MB and ended up finding a 4MB that worked. Of course this was a very long time ago.
I agree about Motoman Tech Support, they are and have always been a great bunch.

Most likely an issue with disk 1, 2 or 3 where parts of the MC file are missing and it's going to disk 4 to finish loading the file. Try recopying the disks.

For a PNS start, you need to be in Remote and pulse ProdStart UI[18]. Start UI[6] is used to resume a paused program since Config line 8 is set to True.

Are you providing the e-stop board with an external source of 24V? If not, check on your e-stop board for a jumper between EXT24V and INT24V, and one between EXT0V and INT0V.
As mbull says, check for 24V between TBOP6-9 (EXT24V)& TBOP6-12 (EXT0V).
Make sure to check the fuses with a meter. Seen twice in the last year where a MP-style Daito fuse was fuse was open but the flag did not appear in the window.

What's happening is that, randomly, one of the welds comes out much smaller than it should be, as if the amps drop suddenly, or the speed increases drastically.
Can you give more detail? Does the weld stay small until the ArcL\Off and then what happens? Do the smaller welds still give good penetration?
For the analog, is a DSQC209 or a Combi board (DSQC224/315)? Are the analog signals in a shielded cable and away from high current cables such as weld, motor, power?
Have you tried creating new SEAM data and using that? Is it possible it stops weaving to cause the weld widths to be smaller?
I would pull the weld cables and thoroughly inspect, especially if there's a positioner/turntable involved.

TAST has a lot of conditions to get it to work properly and consistently. My suggestion would be to get an ArcTool manual to help you decide if your process is a good candidate and describes all the necessary steps to setup a good TAST schedule and troubleshooting TAST issues. What version of ArcTool are you using?
