    KUKA is very similar to ABB.


    Writing code in KRL (Kuka Robot Language), then use the official tool: KUKA.Encryption Tool, which will convert the *.src and *.dat file into a *.pfc file.


    Differences between FANUC's *.pc and KUKA's pfc:



      • *.pc is binary file

      • *.pfc is still a plain text file, you can open *.pfc with any text edtior, but can not see any KRL code inside.


    sample of *.pfc:


    Hi,


    There is a built-in function located at Configuration -- Miscellanuous -- Monitoring working envelope


    KUKA has another more powerful package just like FANUC DCS: Safe Operation.


    Just wanted to add in my experience you don't need to restart the robot as you have in Step 2. You can just press next and then press F3, INIT, and then you will get a popup window with the standard YES/NO options. Ive tried looking back through the manuals to see where I learned this from, but cannot find these steps in the Fanuc manuals, but I know it works. Plus its a lot quicker than having to cycle power. I mostly work with brand new robots so maybe the INIT option hasn't been around long, but just wanted to offer this option.


    Thank you, useful one

    Hi,


    1. UO[1-10] indicates the status of a robot, always need to know those infomation in production.
    2. There is a system variable like $UOP_ENABLE or something, do a search in forum. But it has some safty problem: if you disable UOP programmatically in production, after that cell controller loses the status of robots, it is dangerous.
    3. Pulse.
    4. Lie to the robot? I never did that, check the attachment...


    All about safty.

    Hi, I made the website for searching alarm codes of FANUC robots. Webpage is optimized for mobile browser.


    Usage:
    1. normal way: input alarm code, hit "search" button, you'll get the description, cause and remedy.
    2. command line: curl http://linuxsand.info/fanuc/code-api/INTP-440


    Drop me an email if website is down: root {at} linuxsand {dot} info


    Hello,
    I've already tried.
    Backup works but update does not work. The program ends without message :icon_frown:


    Hi, I figured it out. The encoding of the old config.txt file is utf-8, because I commented with some chinese words in the last update.


    I already removed those chinese comments and converted the file encoding from utf-8 to ansi. The attachment is updated too (the original url is still valid).

    Hi all,


    This is a free tool for commenting I/O and registers for Fanuc robots, which is based on comment tool of official web server.


    Download -> http://linuxsand.info/fanuc_tools/fanuc_comment_tool.html


    Release log:


    - 2019-mar-06, SPACE (' ') in comment text will not be '+' any more
    - 2018-jul-06, you can comment position registers and flags now :icon_smile:
    - 2016-sep-21, you can comment registers and group I/O now
    - 2016-sep-18, comments can include Japanese or Chinese characters (as long as your controller supports)
    - 2014-aug, first version (Python scripts)


    Requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework >= 2.0


    Configuration:


    1. Set controller's IP first: menu - setup - host comm - TCP/IP - Port#1 IP addr
    2. Restart robot controller to make IP setting valid check reply 4, thanks to K-Sky
    3. Unlock karel: host comm - HTTP - line2 (KAREL:*) - F3 (UNLOCK)
    4. Config IP for your PC, make sure it is in the same network with robot controller


    Note: Reply 1 to 3 was posted when this tool was written in Python. Later on, it has been rewritten in C# .NET.

    Hi, an error occured when I was adding a real robot in Fanuc Robot Neighborhood: Run-time error '13', Type mismatch.




    My OS is Windows 8 32bit, robotguide version is 8. And I connect the robot via my wireless router, the router and the robot controller are plugged in the same switch, IP address is 192.168.20.xxx.


    Oh, and I have tried directly connect my PC to the robot controller, failed. Anybody can help?
