  • How to download fanuc/kuka robot programs directly to my laptop

    • massula
    • June 17, 2025 at 8:22 PM

    It will depend on the generations from both FANUC and KUKA controllers.

    On FANUC, in most cases You can setup an FTP connection and download from there.

    On KUKA, if Your robot controller is KRC4 or above, you can setup the robot to make a backup on a remote folder, or just use WorkVisual to make network backups. Previous generations doens't work with WorkVisual, but offer the option of network backups, in a way or another.

  • delmia robot programmer vs. RoboGuide v10?

    Quote from JeremyA

    Router trimming of large plastic (hdpe & ldpe). Mostly odd shaped cut-outs with router bits & small 1-1/2" diameter saws. I want it to act like MasterCam does for a CNC vmc/mill where you write your toolpaths/cad-to-path & then send it to the robot. I need it to be easy to calibrate or able to send TP from robot back to virtual world to adjust inconsistencies virtually & to keep records of where the project is at for day-to-day adjustments.

    If You have just these two options to chose from, I would recommend Roboguide. It is cheaper, simpler, and it's output is a native .TP file.

    But if time and money aren't problems, DELMIA would be an interesting option, since it enable You to work with other robot brands in the future, if needed.

    But I'm not sure if none of those softwares has dedicated CAM functions. I remember Roboguide had something called ChanferingPRO, but never used that.

    Now, if You has the possibility to chose any other software package, I would strongly recommend something that has dedicated CAM functions: RoboDK, IRBCAM, Robomaster, ENCY (formerly know as SprutCAM), or something like that.

    I really don't want to sound harsh, but without context, this kind of question is pointless.

    Although both can be placed inside "robot simulation software" bucket, DELMIA and Roboguide are very different products.

    What do you want to achieve with such tool?

    This is VW specific software, so only them can provide it for You.

    I have FDE and the physical "key", I just cant seem to be able to run the software on a newer pc. I have to get an old pc I think...

    Maybe a virtual machine, a Serial to USB converter and some tinkering with COM ports inside the virtual machine can do the trick.

    I never tried this setup with FDE specifically, but done that with other pretty old software and it worked.

    I wanted to upload 2D jobs for plasma cnc for customized shape cutting. I have no idea how I could manually program the robot to follow the exact shape..unless you know o.o

    This would require some sort of CAD-to-Path tool, and most of them cost money.

    There is also the problem of MRC being an old controller and most software that can do this kind of task are probably not compatible with this generation of controller.

    And, lastly, you would also need to use FDE for Windows to upload the produced jobs on MRC. Even bought second hand, it will also cost money.

    That said, if you are planning make just 2D cuts (XY plane), there are some CAD-to-Path and/or DXF converters around Internet. If you have the time and skills, You can maybe adapt one of those solutions to your needs.

  • CP1616 GSDML

    • May 11, 2025 at 3:37 PM

    There is no GSDML file for KRC2, just for CP1616. And ProfiNet driver will handle tha communication between KRC2 and CP1616.

    And Yes, one of those files shoud work to establish communication between between KRC and PLC.

    The version You must use will depend on the firmware You have loaded on your CP1616 card.

    I'm not in the US, but in my country I believe this cycle is worst.

    I don't know how it is nowadays, but some time ago we couldn't speak directly with Panasonic. We need to reach a representativa, that is their biggest and only integrator here, and who isn't interested in sharing any type of knowledge with its "competition".

    This is one of them main reasons why I currently avoid to deal with Panasonic machinery.

    Unfortunately, I don't think I can help You with this task in this moment.

    It's been a few years since I last worked with a Panasonic robot, and I don't have access to DTPS anymore.

    My advice is post your discoveries and tests here - like You did with your previous post - and keep this thread "hot", so more people can see it and maybe someone with the right knowledge can jump in and give the right directions to achieve what You want.

    Remembered a thing. You need to take care with .ls program files.

    If you open them through FileZilla, change something and update them in controller inadvertently, the file in controller will be updated wit no prior notice.

    These are the settings I've used on FileZilla to access a R-30iB controller some months ago.

    Yes, after some configuration, You can send and receive files through FTP.

    I'm not sure if this is possible with DTPS. As far I can remember, its documentation was pretty simple and it didn't mentioned any API or CLI interface.

    And this is why I suggested ASCII Binary Translator. It a simpler application than DTPS, and I believe that even in the absence of a CLI interface, it could be easily automated with something like Autohotkey.

    Anyway, If You have the full DTPS license, you are entitled to ask Panasonic directly.

    Just a note: I'm not sure if a KSS 8.2.x controller would accept any KOPs.

    If I recall correctly, KOPs were introduced with KSS 8.3.

    Hi,

    As far as I can tell, GII (and GIII) controllers doesn't accept .csr (ASCII) files. Just .prg (binary) files.

    Só You need to convert the files before uploading them in the controller.

    But if You want just to convert these files, you won't need the full DTPS install.

    There is a smaller tool from Panasonic, called ASCII Binary Translator (Product Code is YA-1NPCH1), that maybe can be automated to do what you want.

  • MotoSim beginner's problem...

    Yes, because P positions are not counted on first variable of NPOS, but on the fourth one.

    My advice, again, is not using JobPad to create points, mainly C00000x positions. Use SimplePP or VPP to create your positions, and after that, You can use JobPad to write logics, comments and so on.

    I believe You have an small syntax error in Your job. There is no NPOS value, and You have one MOVEJ instruction.

    JobPad is pretty handy, but it has some problems to create jobs from scratch. When you insert moves with C0000x, JobPad doesn't update the header with this change.

  • Robot program generaton in RoboDK/ execution in KukaSim problem

    • massula
    • April 9, 2025 at 3:44 PM

    In RoboDK simulation the reference frame for this path is DKP 400, but the base frame value in the generated program is zero.

    Did You tried to put a base value on RoboDK, post process the program again an see what happens in KUKA.Sim?
