  • $CP_PARAMGRP[1].$JNT_VEL_LIM: units?

    Interesting.

    On my roboguide serialized from my R2000ib-165f I have the following.

    Roboguide variable
    [list type=decimal]

    • 220

    • 220

    • 220

    • 600

    • 300

    • 800

    [/list]

    Fanuc advertised joint max


    [list type=decimal]

    • 110

    • 110

    • 110

    • 150

    • 150

    • 220

    [/list]


    This is for my 165F. Its interesting that they don't match. But I guess setting the software higher will keep it from accidentally limiting the physical bot. Maybe RacerMike or someone can chime it. I'm intrigued here.

  • Copying .PC files

    I only have 1 bot. I added it in my forum sig because I know I will forget to mention it one of these times.

    I have all the files now. And they are on the controller itself. Its just that I did a "BACKUP ALL" and serialized my simulated robot in roboguide and the .pc's weren't there. Hope that makes sense?

    I do have all the files now. I'm just trying to figure out how to pull all those .PC files I need off the controller with a backup so everything runs smooth when I make workcells on the computer. Would these be in an IMAGE backup and can you load and IMAGE in ROBOGUIDE?

  • Copying .PC files

    CALL MOVEAWAY

    The name is there in the main program but the moveaway.pc is missing. the .vr is there though. And this is off of a backup all.

    I got it working with some old copies of the files I needed from our implementation company. But I want to know how to do it should this come up in the future.

  • Copying .PC files

    I'm trying to run a program in ROBOguide and keep getting a "Call fail" program does not exist.

    I serialized the robot off a recent backup. The .VR files of the programs I need are there but the .PC versions are not. Did I miss a step?

    Also, I went out the controller (R30ia) and tried to "PRINT" or "COPY" that .PC file to UD1 just to grab it real quick and it says "invaild program selected". Can you not copy them that way?

  • Regarding robot coordinate system....

    Quote from LURCH


    My first posting in these Forums. Was going to start a new topic, but my question seemed to fit this discussion.

    So, let's say I have a bot set up in a work cell that runs several different jobs. Each job has it's own fixture, and all the fixtures are mounted to a base which is slanted (the base is a permanent part of the work cell). Would it be a good idea to slant the User frame so it's parallel to the base? Or are there advantages to leaving the User frame in its default condition (same as World, I believe), and creating a new Jog Frame to match the angle of the base (the angle at which all jobs sit)?

    I would teach the USER FRAME at the same angle the fixture base is so that your X, Y, Z movements would be respective to the table. Would save you a ton of time later.

    My dual table set up is done this way but I have Dynamic user frames.

  • Programs .PE

    I'm guessing here without the information Racer asked for but...

    In your work cell you double-click your robot.

    Select Serialize robot.

    Select "Create a robot from a file backup" - Navigate to your backup and you will only see a BACKDATE.DT. This may be where the confusion is as this is the only file visible.

    Select that file and hit next, next, finish. until your back in your work cell.

    At this point the programs are not on your cell. You need to "APPLY" the changes. It will cycle the controller on the similation. This could take a minute depending on the computer you have.


    Hope this helps. If not then provide further information and I'm sure RacerMike can sort you out.

  • VR files

    The DOS thing I think I can manage.


    Using the Print function on the select screen doesn't work on the r30ia for .vr or .pc files. It gives a "TPIF-047 Invalid program is selected"

  • VR files

    i have roboguide installed.

    The KConVars.exe is in the path you mentioned earlier in C/ drive.

    Do I need to open it within roboguide somehow?

    I think I am missing a step but not sure where and as I have 40 other things going on I have no had the time needed to investigate.

  • VR files

    Hi Rupy,
    You can convert these files with the program KConVars.exe.
    You will find it in your C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\WinOLPC\bin when you have Fanuc RoboGuide or WinOlpc installed.

    I tried this. If I double click on the .exe it just flashes a black box for a brief second. Am I missing a step or is my company virus thing killing it. I have had issues with that before.

  • Another non-linear issue..

    I apologize, I think I'm making this more complicated than should be.

    My reasoning for the six point method are tool orientation. I was told by everyone I've spoken to at Fanuc that the three point will not work for what our desired result is.

    I have a very large dispense meter attached to the wrist. The tip has a 1/8"x 3/4" opening. I need the tip to stay parallel to the parts which are square to the world zone. If it twists in any way the application of material will not be uniform and to our specs. Had no problem doing this before. Sorry, I'm feeling like a moron over this. For some reason, I'm just not achieving what I did before.

    Could you use the 3 point to teach the world frame then set up a user frame with the dispenser parallel to the surface?
    That way any x,y, z movements would stay relative to the part. Also if the dispensed media/item were to change you could simply adjust your user frame with an offset.
