I just looked in the manual and it says on a 3iB that the input and output Assembly Instance should both be 101..... I agree with the 101 151 for the 30iA and 30iB but this is saying different. Also, what version 6 software are you running?

what is the incoming voltage to the robot?

can you tell us what the safety concern is?

I have never heard of, or seen any companies do such a thing. I have engineered and installed many robots over the years, including cali, and worked on many other integrators cells over years and have never seen a policy like this. There is a servo off disconnect as mentioned and is easy to install but pricey. I have also seen some companies use area scanners inside the cell (again tied into the fence circuit) to make sure all parties are out prior to a door closure and a re-start. This is not required by the RIA but I have seen this implemented before.

For years I thought I was losing my mind on the Image re-loading process because you do it so infrequently that you sometimes forget the steps you took previously. A few weeks back I had to do an image restore on two different robots on the same day. The one robot was a total lose and I ended up having to remaster the robot, the other robot loaded just fine and they didn't have to deal with mastering issues or anything. It just ran!
But as the previous post stated, ALWAYS PUT THE ROBOT TO ALL ZEROES IF YOU CAN PRIOR TO LOADING BACKUPS!

When you say Ladder III is this for robot or the cnc version that used to work on the robots? I know for sure that the 30iB robots require Ladder III for Robots, but based on the CD's I got I have a Ladder III for Robot version 7.30 which I think may have been needed for some of the later version of a 30ia controller like a v7.7 software.... Anyone care to refresh my memory? I am getting old....

I never use this option as I just do it myself through the TP, but try doing a controlled start and going under the maintenance and I think it is program control. this is where you can open up user alarms PR's etc. hopefully it has an option for this if touch skip is turned on.

Ok if you are not seeing any COM connections showing up under communications tab then you are not seeing your USB adapter. If you highlight the COM, and press settings, make sure they match the robot. Also, have you tried a null modem. I typically have to use one, but it might just be my DB25 cable as well.

I have dumped vision files over ethernet from the robot to a file server using the PC Share portion in the host comms. If this would be of help let me know. As far as Active X type stuff to a remote HMI I can't help you. But I am hoping someone else knows to further my knowledge.

I agree with scotty. The positioner has seperate batteries. Most of the time there is a black battery box for the aux amp, however sometimes they uses Fanuc CNC style amplifiers for these axis that use a special battery pack that is under a grey cover. It almost always looks like 2 AA batteries in a heat shrink tube with a plug into the amplifier.
I love how Fanuc robots and Fanuc CNC say they are together yet WORLDS apart!
Hope this helps.

as you attempting to use DCS on this application in anyway?

If you lost battery power, disconnected a pulse coder cable or replaced a motor you will always get a new value when you do a zero master.

BG logic runs all of the time. He should be able to do this in there.
-
can you just say to turn RO[*] on if SO[3 fault] or UO6[fault] are on. Then invert the RO[*] so when it goes on in logic that it really goes off? Keep in mind you need to cycle power to change the polarity from normal to inverse.
-
on a 3iB the outputs are NPN and inputs are PNP. by switching this jumper does it switch both the inputs and the outputs or just the inputs? this says RDI specifically and nothing about RDO.
-
I am assuming you mean robot outputs and the answer is no. THe best advice I can give is to use a slimline relay to reverse the logic to pnp.

some 30iA robots came with it as a free option but somewhere through the process they changed 300 bucks. 30iB has always had a cost of 300. Long and short the prices are correct assuming you have a somewhat new robot.
