I have a customer that has a couple of S4C controllers (robotware 3.2) in his plant.
Sometimes they get errors on the controller that are 'not logic' compared to the actual situation.
ABB already told me that reinstalling a backup of the project sometimes solves these sporadic errors.
I was thinking may a complete reinstall would be even better.
I suppose for these kind of systems I cannot use robinstall, but I need the installation discs.
If the customer does not have the original installation disks, I suppose I can get these from ABB?
If the customer gives me disks, how can I be sure it are correct disks before I start the operation?

ENDPROCI see in a procedure the statement 'BACKWARD', what does it do in the procedure excecution?

How can I recognize what controlertype it concerns if I only have a backup of the controller.
Can I see the difference between a S4, S4C and S4C+ controller? -
Is it possible to read the internal errornumber (what you see on the teachpendant when an error occured) from the actual error and write it into a variable, so it can be sent to a plc that is connected to the robot?
In my case it is an S4 controller. -
I see in a backup of a controller that there are vr files. I suppose these are Karel variable files?
I don't see any pc files. I suppose pc files contain the programm code of Karel programms?
So, could this be right that a backup all of above contains vr files but no pc files?
Do we need sources to be able to edit the vr files?
What other Karel file types could there be? And for who of them do we need the sources? -
So I think a 'zero master' could only be necessary if something in the fysical connection motor-encoder changed in between the image backup and restore?
For this 'zero master' are there specific fysical callibration tools (from Fanuc) necessary? -
Dear Robot Dr,
1) Am I wright that the procedure you described can always be used if an image backup was taken with all axes at 0° and the restore is done with all axes at 0°?
2) Do all the axes have to be at 0° for image and restore, or is it just a matter that the axes positions are the same for backup and restore?
3) Is the same procedure always to be followed for backup all of above?
4) What are the consequences if the image or backup all of above was not taken with all axes at 0°? -
What do the procedures 'Master' and 'Callibrate' implement exactly?
How are these procedures done? -
If I have taken image backup of my robot, when the robot was at random physical position, and I do the restore when the robot is at another positon, do I have to take certain actions towards callibration, or will the robot start up without any further actions necessary?
-
Ok,
But my robot does not have the 'constant path' option, or I do not see it in the installed options list.
-
If i decrease the speed of the robot by the speed increment/decrement buttons on the TP (+%/-%), will the robot then follow
exactly the same path as when the speed is at 100% speed with these buttons.
The aim is to sure of my path when testing and in normal (100%) operation. -
I have to speed up a M20ia robot from 2010.
For lineair movements I see that maximum lineair speed is limited to 2000 mm/s.
I suppose this is a parameter in the system variables? Which?
To what maximum could i raise the lineair speed? And will this still be ok for the waranty of the robot?
Could there also be a possibility that they have limited the joint speed?
For instance , that when in the program there is command to move at 100% speed, that that isn't realy the maximum speed possible by the robot, because also a limitation in the system variables? -
Is there a way to restore register and position register values in the controller, if I have a backup All Off Above?
I know it is possible for separate TP-programs, but is it also possible for register and position register values? -
Is there a possibility to trace the TCP-speed while the program is executing in Roboguide V8C,
-
In Roboguide 8 I have recreated a workcel from an all of above backup.
Strange thing is that when I look in the virtual I-pendant I see a lot of .PC files i do not see in the all of above backup the workcell was created from?
How is this possible? -
If I have VPN-connection to IRC5 controller (connected on service port), will I be able to just the same with robotstudio as I am directly plugged in the service port (with no VPN in between)?
From robotstudio is it possible to have a life view of the teach pendant? Am I able to do certain actions remote on the teach pendant (f.i. pushing a softtouch on the touchscreen)? -
With the backup you showed in the picture, are only the files backuped that can be converted to .LS format?
If I want to do an 'All of above' backup (where everything is included), and I want the 'readable files' as .LS, is the macro then the right solution?
If I have an 'All of above' backup where the 'readable files' are .LS, can this be put back to the controller, of for this need the 'readable files' be in .TP format? -
Where can I see with certainty that the option is installed, if I have an 'All of above' backup, and I have no Roboguide?

Attached is the Summary.dg file from the backup.
Is there in the 'Summary.dg-file' an indication that conveyor tracking is available in the controller?
If you have a controller that actually has not the conveyor tracking feature, can
conveyor tracking be added as an option package, how is it installed? -
Attached is the summary.dg file,
the controler type should be M-710iC/70?
Is this the kind of controller that creates the checksummes after changements?
But after all, changing code in the Fanuc, could that lead to a new approvement of CE-label?
