Or has no thumb!

With the nx100 is it a parameter that you can change, 0 = you press test start and interlock but you can let go test start, 1= you have to hold both test start and interlock.
I dont know what parameter it is for dx100 and I also dont know if I can write the nx100 parameter here since it is an FD.

What controller do you have, in menu, system, config you can put an output on when the robot is waiting for an input.

Then you can use normal outputs that you put on and off in your robot programs and put them on a timer in the plc.

You can use the UOP output busy and running for the running time. Im not sure if running goes off when the robot is waiting for an input of something.
The timers should be somewhere in the variable list you can send them by background logic to the plc.
Why do you want to log them with the plc?

Under menu, next , status , system timers you can find the waiting and running time. You can reset the lap.

Maybe the polarity is set to inverse? But then they should still go on and off. Or they are interconnected with some DI's.

You can look at $PWR_NORMAL is there a name in it or does it say *uninit* ? You do the cold start by teachpendant or turn off the controller ?

Ouch

Hi ,
I have a controller backup from an RJ2 with an S420 iW robot, The robot was in zero pos when I took it. I have no idea which version it is. Sealing tool option.

What do you mean with existing passtrough? I only have the EE cable in the robot arm.

I have seen M710ic robots with AS1 and AP1 cable, I've opened the side plates and it seems to have enough space left to put some extra cables.
I have contacted Fanuc about this I will see what they have to say and post it here.

Hi all,
I have an m710iC robot with only the EE cable that runs through the arm. The 8 RI/RO are not enough for my tool. I know there are robots with an ap1 and as1 cable through the robot.
Is it possible to put an extra cable in the arm? From the base to axis 4 (next to EE plug)
Thx

Hi, Yes you have to restart the controller. You get a message that says "can not reset major alarm.
Also this post should be in the motoman forum

Yes its confusing sometimes, with fanuc that is called Init start.

Normally you always start cold when you turn the main power on. But because you started up in controlled start you are in the controlled start loop. So when you are in controlled start (same where you changed your variable) you have to get out of the controlled start loop by going to function and choose Start (cold). Do not turn of the main power switch.
The controller will now start cold.
If you turn off the controller once it has completely started (cold) and you turn the controller back on it will do a cold start as normal.
I hope it's understandable, my english is not that good

What do you mean with "repower". If you turn the main switch on and off the robot will start up in controlled start again.
If you cycle power with function -> Start (cold) the controller should start up normal (cold start)

In variables , put $genov_enb on TRUE. You only have this problem when the tp is disabled right?

Is your payload set accuratly and is your gripper rigide enough? Is it the robot or the gripper that is vibrating?

Hi
I can convert them back to .TP if you want.
