If you go to the last group (512) of your general purpose outputs, there should be an output there named SERIAL CHECK RELEASE. Force the output on and it should allow you to proceed. You will need to continue doing this every time you power up your robot until it is connected to your PLC. The output is in the 4089 to 4096 range.

No, you need concurrent job to do this. It's a purchasable software option.

All command positions on a Yaskawa robot are stored in encoder pulse counts.
If you want to work in XYZ, you either have to use Position Variables in XYZ or use RELATIVE JOB (purchasable software option) to convert your positions from pulse to XYZ.

MRC started to be built in the mid 1990's.... around 1994.... so it's possible that your robot may be up to 30 years old. More likely between 25 and 30 years old.
You can contact Yaskawa but be aware that support may be limited for this older legacy controller.

Switch between SINGLE mode and MULTI mode. Either hold down SHIFT and press 4, or go to SETUP - TEACHING CONDITIONS and switch between SINGLE and ALL there (near the bottom of the screen)
If you are in SINGLE mode, nothing will happen when you do INTERLOCK+TEST START. You have to be in MULTI mode instead.
-
If the input never comes on, then the robot will complete the move (go to P011).

Press SELECT twice on the IF command. It will take you to the detail edit screen where you can go in and set up multiple conditions

Try looking in the Arc Start File beside the ARCON command. You can access this file by putting the cursor on the ARCON command and pressing the DIRECT OPEN key.

It can be a little tricky to install the PCMCIA card properly. Try pulling it out and inserting it again. Make sure it makes full contact with the backplane of the CPU rack.

Agreed, relative job is probably the best option, if you have it.

What version of Motosim EG/VRC are you using? I have not had any issues with the multi-window option on newer versions of EG/VRC. Currently running 2023 version.

Have you tried using SWITCH - CASE for this option? Under INFORM LIST, use the SWITCH command.
SWITCH I000 CASE 1
then you can do options like
CASE 2
CASE 3
CASE 4
and put all of your shifts under the cases that you want.

No. Since you are having multiple issues with your robot, it is best to contact your local Yaskawa office directly to determine why you are having problems with boot up, and for them to format your CF card properly.
-
when you go to FD/CF, make sure you choose DEVICE first and set the device to Compact Flash. Then try resaving the job.
If the controller has older firmware (ie. low to mid 3'S) then you may need to get a smaller flashcard, such as 32MB. Check the firmware by going SYSTEM INFO - VERSION and look at the version of firmware in the first line.
-
No, NX100 came out in 2004, so you would have to look at using CF cards with a lot less memory such as 32 MB, 64 MB, 128MB or 256MB, depending on the firmware of the robot.

ANSI-RIA and CSA mandate the use of a 3 position enabling device as of 2001. It is required in North America and most countries due to safety regulations. There's a reason they used to call it a "DEADMAN" switch - to stop a person from becoming a dead man.

If you are in Ecuador then I would contact Yaskawa Brazil directly. Ask for the service department and explain to them what is going on, including pictures. They should be able to help you.

You can only sync them by using the online function. Then you can transfer the jobs directly to the controller from Motosim. You need an ethernet cable and the IP address of the robot to do this.

There are many choices - Motosim EG/VRC which is made by Yaskawa, as well as 3rd party software such as Delfoi or Octopuz. Each software has their advantages and disadvantages.
If you are looking for software to be able to program a newer (NX100 or later) Yaskawa robot offline, with importing capability, then Motosim EG/VRC may be the best choice for you. But you will still have to touch up points (minimally) after loading your jobs from the software into the real robot.

Check where you are teaching the reference points. Check also to make sure you have the correct wire length when you do both programs. Run your wirecut job before touch sensing.
