  • Roboguide installation problem in Windows 11

    I'm on win 10 and I got the same problem... it took me about 5 years to finally found the solution.... Roboguide do some grant acces using the account "Users". My windows is in "French" and in french there is no account named "Users"... just a account named "Utilisateurs".

    So I just create a temporary account named "Users" (and give it admin right..just in case) and "voilà le tout fonctionne" (translate : IT WORKS!!!).

    Maybe is not the same solution for everyone but it woks for me

  • Roboguide to AB PLC?

    Quote from Scipio

    Hi ttsjithin,

    found some time to go one with this again, had to re-read the treads again to know where i was the last time. :smiling_face:

    Anyway : Did you managed to get the setup running ? because it seems we where facing the same problem, being the PNS slection not being high nevertheless the PLC sends is a logical 1

    any help would be great...

    Hi Scipio, in the past I contact FANUC roboguide teams and what you need is just change a key in the windows register

    PNS_RSR signal control by Roboguide :

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\RGCore\Settings]

    "MapPnsRsrSignals"="True"


    PNS_RSR signal control manually by user (or PLC):

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\RGCore\Settings]

    "MapPnsRsrSignals"="False"

  • Handling Pro - Connect a external device to simulate movement (animate) in the virtual cell

    Hi,

    I want to animate the machine inside the workcell (virtual) with a external Allen-bradley PLC (L30ERM). I turn arround the "Externel device" in the cell browser and I look also in the machine property (motion tab). And I don't know how to make it work. I think I must use OPC server, I don't know if I must choose Modbus or "anonymous"....

    I want to change the value in a tag in the PLC and this will activate a move into the virtual cell. (I know how to make some move using the DO[...] of the robot)

    Can some one help me.

    Thanks

  • How to set automatically the display on the TP

    Hi,

    I want to set the display automatically on the TP by using some command in TPprog or karel. The setup I need is something like this :

    Use the split screen mode

    On the left, I want the browser to show a interface that I develop (let say : ABCPage.stm)

    On right, I want to show the live image vision of the IRVision

    How can I set by programmation (or other way ) the display of the TP.

    Thanks

    ###my PC ###
    Windows 7

    ###ROBOT###
    RobotGuide version : 9.1
    Virtual robot controller verison : 7.40 R-30iA
    $EIP_ENBL_IO=1
    IPAdress of the robot = the same as my PC (ex : 192.1.68.60)
    Slot 1 is enable
    input size (words) = 4
    Output size (words) = 4

    ###PLC###
    IP adresse on the same subnet (ex: 192.1.68.220)
    Allen bradley CompactLogix L30ERM
    Ethernet generic module that try to connect to the 192.1.68.60
    input 101 (size 2x32bit)
    output 151 (size 2x32bit)
    Confi 100 (0x8bit)


    ### result###
    It doesn't work ... The ethernet generic module return my a error : 16#0005 - Connection request Error: Bad Class
    I can connect to a real robot, but on a virtual robot it doesn't work.

    Is there something to do with the windows configuration (firewall, autorisation, access...)

    Thanks for your help, I need to get this working

  • RS232 Communication configuration

    Hi,

    I try to configure the rs-232 port on my controller (LR mate 200iC, V7.40). If i use the TP menu (Menu/Setup/PortInit) I only can change Baudrate, Parity, StopBit. But I also need to change to 7 or 8 bits data communication, Xon/Xoff.

    So by using Karel, I can use the command SET_PORT_ATR and GET_PORT_ATR to get access to all these config, but I don't work.
    The following line :
    stat=SET_PORT_ATR(PORT_2,ATR_DBITS,DBITS_8)
    return 17036 in the Stat variable

    The following line :
    stat = GET_PORT_ATR(PORT_2,ATR_DBITS,atr_value)
    return 17036 in the Stat variable

    So, how must I use these command???
    AND
    Where can I found the signification of the Status 17036???

    Thanks

  • Motion - Limit Error

    Wow... perfect explication. Thanks a lot...

    For Karel, here the information from the Karel Reference documentation that I found (I hope that the forum will accept this partial citation)

    -Section 8.5.1 Motion Trajectory : Orientation Interpolation
    The system variable $ORIENT_TYPE uses the predefined constants RSWORLD, AESWORLD, and WRISTJOINT to indicate the type of interpolation used to move from one orientation to another during a LINEAR motion. By default, the two-angle method (RSWORLD) is used.

    For the WRISTJOINT method of orientation interpolation, the three wrist joints are joint interpolated. The remaining joints are interpolated so that the TCP moves in a straight line. Note that the starting and ending orientation will be used as taught, but because of the joint interpolation, the orientation during the move is not predictable, although it is repeatable.

    -Section 8.5.1 Motion Trajectory : Configuration
    In JOINT interpolated motion, the Boolean value of the system variable $USE_TURNS (TRUE or FALSE) indicates whether the turn numbers of the initial and destination positions are used in determining the joint distance.

    In CARTESIAN interpolated motion, the robot cannot move along the interpolated location trajectory, maintain control of orientation, and change the configuration. However, if orientation control is not important to the application, the WRISTJOINT method of interpolation can be used. WRISTJOINT is useful if changing configuration is required, while maintaining the location trajectory. The use of the turn numbers of the wrist joints are determined as follows:
