Hi,
I need to cut a hole(circle)with plasma, let's say 100mm on for example steel pipe DN400. I don't know how to teach a robot to do this. I know how to teach a robot to make a circle but how to teach the robot to follow the curve of a pipe.
Plasma torch doesn't have to be at 90degrees in relation to the centre of the pipe. That is next step.
I have old ArcMate120l with rj2. Is it possible?
Regards
Hello...
I think we found what could be a problem(thanks TRBe ).
1. I have A16B-3200-0040 CPU (NORTH AMERICA) . It is North America style controller with A20B-1006-0290/02B panel board with NO AUTO/T1/t2 switch.
2. I have ARCTOOL 7D60 software edition V4.30P/B6 that is probably for Europe. (maybe someone could confirm this?) This Europe software require AUTO/t1/t2 switch.
So this two things are probably not compatible. And this is why I can't (sop)cycle start or put it in remote and UOPstart. Controller is waiting for auto/t1/t2 switch input.
But what to do now?? Somehow connect AUTO/T1/t2 switch to panel board? Install north America Arctool software?

I have tried playing with ARCenable input but nothing changed.
$remote variable is still stuck at 0. No change when I turn key.
yes, $RMT_Master is set to 0.
Maybe this robot (ARCTOOL) is set to start with RSR or PNS? How to check this?
Can you explain variable $Shell_Cfg $Start_Mode?
Regards
Thank you TRBe..
But I think I have to go back to start and find correlation between REMOTE LOCAL key SI[2] and $remote variable(0 or 1) and why it is not changing when I'am using key switch.
Any more ideas?
Thanks
My next question was going to be regarding UO[0] CMDENBL
CMDENB is OFF and I don't know why.
UI IMSTP , HOLD, SFSPD and ENBL=ON and I'm trying to Cycle start with UI[6] or UI[30]PROD start, but I get syst_008 "Nothing is the Master Device" alarm.
I have tried SOP cycle start(UOP disable) but same result.
I think that something is wrong with $remote variable. Robot doesn't know if it is in local or remote? maybe .. I don't know
When I installed handling tool software everything worked fine but with ARCTOOL I can't cycle start.
Thanks
Remote Led is working only when I manually force it in SOP SO(ON/OFF) but when I turn key LED in NOT changing.
I don't have AUTO/T1/T2 switch.
You can see my panel printed board pictures: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bz6v64z52bm2dmg/PYTSdbPAqS
Thank you for help
Hi
&RMT_MASTER is also 0.
Thanks
Hello...
I have ARCMAte 120iL with RJ2. ARCTOOL software
When I test my LOCAL REMOTE key I see in SOP SI[2] that it is changing form 0 to 1 but when I check system variable $remote, it is always 0? No change.
It looks like key is working but robot is not using SOP signals correctly?
Is this OK or something is wrong with robot, because I have a problem with cycle start(not working with SOP or UOP:( ).
thanks,
regards
I think that this robot was from GM, used for welding and it was probably using UOP signals or PLC signals to cycle start or something, or input signal from welder. So the robot is still waiting for this input signal when I press cycle start.
So the problem must be with variables. I think.
Has someone worked with old ARCMATE 120iL from GM? Is it possible that robot won't start because I dont have welder connected?
Thank you all
Dear All,,
Can someone please explain what are TBOP3 S2+, S2-, S3+,S3- terminals on my panel printed board used for? They are not connected to anything and I have problem with cycle start.
Please see attached pictures.
Thank you ..
Dear All,
I need help with syst_008 "Nothing is the Master Device" alarm when I try to cycle start. Attached you will find pictures. I have old ARCMATE 120iL with RJ2 controller and ARCTOOL software. With no AUTO, T1, T2 switch. I think it is old GM robot.
I have short circuit fence, svon and emgin. S2+, S2-, S3+ and S3+ are not connected to anything. I have set $RMT_MASTER to 0 and $UOP_DISABLE set to TRUE and of course put key in LOCAL, and still the same alarm ''SYST008 WARN Nothing is the master device''.
I have tried changing : $shell_cfg.$start_mode from 0 to 1( tried 4 as well) , $shell_wrk $karel_uop and $karel_sop to false, $Shell_Cfg $Cont_Only = FALSE $Start_Mode = 4( tried 1 as well) $ProdStrType = 0, $Que_Enable = FALSE.
I have disconnected Process I/O board.
What ever I did the result was the same. 'Nothing is the Master Device' or I get no alarm but still won't start.. I have tried setting $RMT_MASTER to 1 and 2 and 3 Same result.
Is there anything else that I'm missing? Variable? Cable?
But when I installed fresh Handling tool software everything worked fine. So problem must be with variables.
Thank you all Please help
