If in a macro I write $ASCII_SAVE = 1 ; and I excute the macro, will then the next time I do a backup 'All of above' or I save the TP-programms, will the TP-files then be saved as LS-files?
If I execute a macro with $ASCII_SAVE = 0 ; will the TP programms then be saved again as TP when doïng all above of saving TP-programms?
Is this correct?
At least in my simulation in Roboguide, it does not seem to work.

I have Roboguide version 8 C.
I also received a backup from the customer as image and as 'all as above'.
I succeeded in opening the project in Roboguide.
So, I can see the code in the virtual teach pendant.
The code is in TP, not in Karel.
Is there a way to see the TP-program in a more comfortable layout to read (like a text-editor) or can I print it out? -

The IRB6640 robots have now 5000 duty hours.
Normally first service interval is at 6000 duty hours, is this ok to do the oil change for axis 1-2-3-6 now (because there is a plant shutdown now) or is it better to wait until 6000 duty hours? -
To complete my question : it concerns S4, S4C, S4C+ and IRC5.

Suppose my controller always stays on, will a low voltage of the controller backup batteries and the SMB batteries will be detected then?
Or do I have to make a warm restart to make a warning message appear on the teachpendant?
So is it possible that I now don't see a warning about low battery voltage, but that I will see it if I perform a warm restart?
Thanks. -
Is it right that when in the SYS.CFG file the reference underneath is included that these system modules will automatically be loaded (even after cold restart and installing everything from scratch, including the
system parameters with the sys.cfg file that includes the underneath reference?
CAB_TASK_MODULES:-File "ram1disk:base.sys" -ModName "BASE" -Task "0"
-File "ram1disk:user.sys" -ModName "USER" -Task "0"
Suppose the above reference is not in the sys.cfg file, is it ok then to open the respective system modules once from the teachpendant, and they will remain in work memory even after warm restarts (power on-off with good backup battery)?
Are these statements true for S4, S4C,S4C+ and IRC5, -
If I install new backup batteries in the control cabinet of an S4 M94A, how low have do they have to be powered before I can cut the power (for approximately one minute) and to be sure that there will be no memory loss?

I have reinstalled the robotware on a S4 M94A.
Afterwards I loaded system parameters and program from files I received from customer.
Now I seed that the positions are not ok : they do not correspond to the positions from before the reinstall of the robotware.
And when i jog the robot lineairly along one axis (with reference base and tool0) the movement of tool 0 is not strictly lineair, and is also rotated.
Furthermore when I measure the position of tool 0 (in reference to the base of the robot) and compare it to the values in the jog screen (for tool 0 and base) it is more then 200 mm wrong at least.
One possibility is that the custommer had not the last configuration files (system parameters with callibration values).
Another thing I am doubting about, what if I have selected the wrong robot type during installation of the robotware?
Someone told me that it does not influence the position values, and if selected wrong, I would almost immediately get fault messages like current alarms from the motors.
Is there someway to check in an already installed system that the right manipulator was chosen during installation of robotware? -
On a s4 M94A controller I tried to save the system parameters to floppy, but the system stays in status waiting for end of writing to floppy.
Problem is I cannot exit that status.
I do not whish to cut the power because the battery is not ok anymore.
What ways are there to do a warm restart whithout power cut and when the teachpendant is frozen? Or some way to leave the blocked status whithout power cut? -
How can I check if the brakes of the motors are still OK? What is the best test procedure?
It concerns a IRB6400M94A. -

I am able to configure a static world zone that limits the working area of the robot : if the robot enters the zone in automatic mode, the robot stops.
In the documentation I saw that the limitiation also works for jogging, but in robotstudio I can jog althrough the zone without restriction.
Are there some rules to apply to make the zone active also for jogging and not only in automatic, because in my case it only works in automatic.
Thanks. -
If you have enabled simulation of IO-signals (on the flexpendant), is there a way to automatically disable that simulation f.i.when swithing from manual to auto, or when warm restarting.
Or can it only be disabled manually one by one? -
Is it always necessary to explicitely book an erronumber with the instruction BookErrNo?
I saw in an existing programm that it was not booked expicitely but the errornumber were declared as follows :
VAR errnum GRIPPER_ERROR:=1;
VAR errnum GRIPPER_MAXTIME:=2;
VAR errnum WRONG_ACTION:=3;Is this correct? Could this cause problems (declaring without booking)?
Thanks.

I have a trap routine that is executed when a check for an IO is not ok (started by TriggCheckIO).
In het trap routine an error is raised unto the main routine.
In the actual code I received in the main routine the error is catched and a Trynext is programmed.
In that way I suppose the programm will jump over the routine checked the IO.
But what I want is that the IO is rechecked until OK before program flow can continu.
How can I accomplisch that?
I read that 'RETRY' cannot be used when an error is raised. -
A backup made as 'All of above', can it be imported and read in roboguide?
Is also the robotmodel then automatically imported in Roboguide?
I suppose the code in All of above is not directly readable in a texteditor?
Can roboguide generate the programm in a format readable by roboguide? -
Can a teachpendant on IRC 5 be replaced by a new one without backup or restore procedures for what is in the teach pendant?
What if custom made screens are used (with screenmaker, or a customized background image), or when screens are made with the Microsoft visual studio environment? -
How many messages can be logged in event log of IRC5?
If the log would become full, are the oldest messages overwritten (ringbuffer)?
Is there a way to automatically write the eventlog to file at certain times, or when a certain amount of messages has arrived?
