I've not used explicit msg a lot. But I use KAREL to read sys vars and based on matches/conditions set a bit or send an error code over GO[*] and another one GO[*] for error type SRVO/MTN/etc. As an option...

I use my own syntax highlighting set. With N++ is pretty easy create a new one.
Some years ago I uploaded my .xml file here on the forum.
The current one is different. Simpler, I think. Follows attached.
Regarding the syntax highlight, my biggest concerns are: what is a instruction, what is a comment, and, in FANUC case, what is a commented instruction.
And, about encoding, N++ can handle this very well.
But if You are creating a program from scratch, what You must observer isn't encoding, but line endings. Newer robots normally handle this well, but older robots wants UNIX (LF) line endings.
Currently I use similar extension for LS and KL in N++. But it doesn't make me feel better comparing with Roboguide option. Both versions is time consuming from all perspectives.

None of the above. I program in a text editor then just touch up points on the pendant.
updated the list of choices.

Hi guys,
I'm about to start my new internal project. It's related to Roboguide and Fanuc programming. If you don't mind, could you participate in the following poll.
Thank you in advance!

Are you sure that your robot and stone parallel to each other? Do you use press-fit pins to locate the robot base on the robot's pedestal/base attachment? One more thing, do you use any other sort of measurements(caliper, measuring tape, else) to determine that robot doesn't calculate well? If robot doesn't go in line with your table edge using world frame, most likely that your robot is not installed right.
If you use your Granite stone 250mmx250mm and you want to use it as a your golden piece for measurement, could you confirm that your table has certificate of dimensions?

I usually use DCS Safety IO to activate one of zones based on some conditions. Most of our projects use Safety PLC + PLC (Allen Bradley Guard Logix, Omron NJ/NX with SL3300), that makes our life easier and more flexible for different application conditions.

Found, based on mechanical design M2 and M3, these type of robots have slowdown zone that protects robots from potential joint dislocation.

Hello,
I'm first time working with M-2iA robot. I run a test motion program today and have noticed a message in right bottom side of the screen. The message says - "Entering/Exiting slowdown zone"
I've not set up any DCS zones yet. I can't understand is it robot restriction or else?
Can somebody give me more detailed description about this message. If I can disable it, also will be great
Regards,
Scotty

I have same type of project. Most likely I will use Basic Interference Check and DCS options to make sure that nothing on the robot's way. Honestly I can make it done with DCS and RIPE Interconnect / PLC, not sure that I need Basic Interference Check while I have DCS.

you can use your linear move if you use point representation - joint. By default when you create a linear point, it saved as Cartesian, but you can change it to joint by keeping your linear interpolation type.

password protected?

I tried this one. I just can't understand why it behave this way. From recent installed software I have only Microsoft OneDrive. Not sure if this one can screw it up.

I have McAfee. But I had McAfee since beginning and had no problem. I just checked reports from antivirus and the list is blank. I think could it be a problem with my SSD drive?

Hello to everyone!
Ok guys, I got to new problem with Roboguide V9 Rev M. I use Windows 10 Pro. When install the Roboguide, do PC reboot after install. Then when I start the Roboguide, it starts, then close itself. When I click on Roboguide icon again, it says Roboguide.exe not found. I checked the folder and really it just disappear. I tried to start the Roboguide using Administrator credentials, but still no luck it keep crashing.
Anybody had similar problem in past?
Regards,
Scotty

I always use Omron or Beckhoff Ethernet/IP. Easy set up and easy to go. Also way more compact than Allen Bradley and more cost-effective.

put the robot controller into another cabinet with climate control.
-
Hello,
did you check this parameter in your system variables? I found that they removed this variables from the list in newer robot software versions.

You need to have coordinated motion option on the robot. Then you would be able to do synchronized interpolations robot+rotary table. As I remember, the table needs to be configured in separate motion group.
Sorry for abstracted explanations, it was long time ago when I used Coordinated motion function on the welding robot.

You need to enable : $ALM_IF.$ENABLE
Then use for last alarm : $ALM_IF.$LAST_ALM
for last user alarm: $ALM_IF.$LAST_UALM

Glad to hear it
