Do either of you have any knowledge of how to get the robot to run in auto cycle so that way the teach pendant does not have to be used?

Rivera,
I am sorry that I cannot be of help and answer your question. I am a total newbie when it comes to all of this. However, I came across your post while searching for solutions to a problem which I am currently having. You mentioned unmapping and the ability to enable and disable UOP in order to run the robot without errors. I am currently trying to run my Fanuc which has the R-30iA controller without using the teach pendant. I have an exposition to attend and I simply cannot hold the deadman switch, shift button, and push reset all day long. Can you please explain the process you briefly mentioned so that way I can have the program run automatically and repeatedly cycle without me needing to hold the deadman switch and other corresponding actions?
Thanks again and sorry for asking you a question about your question.

I am trying to be able to run the Fanuc without needing to hold the teach pendants deadman switch and shift button. When we put the key in the controller and change it to the Auto Setting and turn off the teach pendant we get the error code SYS-005 and the fence error alarm. I am a novice when it comes to operating this robot and any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Thank you all for all of the help and feedback on this topic. We managed to get everything working the way we need it to.
Thanks again!

Thank you for the explanation! We actually had done what you suggested from the get-go and wired all 50 pins into a block. We managed to get the inputs squared away and to get our sensor to display as "on" on the teach pendant. Now we are having difficulty with sending the output signal from the Fanuc to the PLC input. Do you think this is because the PLC and Fanuc both have their own power supply? Both are 24V but are not connected to the same circuit.
Thanks again!

Rich195,
Yes, essentially we hooked up a sensor which has a light on it indicating when it is detecting something, but the status does not change on the TP.
What should we connect on pins #19 (SDICOM1) and pin #20 (SDICOM2). If those pins are dependent on the Inputs we use, for example if our sensor is PNP aka sourcing, then we would need to connect +24 Vdc on those pins and IF our sensor is NPN aka Sinking then we would need to connect 0 Vdc in those pins. Is this correct?
Additionally what are the roles of pin #31,32 (DOSRC1) since the manual states that " DOSRC1, DOSRC2 pins of the CRMA 15 and CRMA 16 are pins for supplying power to drivers (cannot be left open) "
Thanks!

We discovered that the correct rack number is 48. Is there any knowledge you have about the DI/DO, CRMA15/CRMA16 and how to set everything up so that it detects the changes in the inputs. We are testing to verify that the sensors works, but we cannot get them to display the signal as "on" within the teach pendant.

Jay,
We wired the 50 pin CRMA58 connector to use the digital I/O's with our PLC and other inputs and outputs such as sensors and conveyor belts. I am having an issue where we connect a sensor (the shows it works by displaying a light), but we cannot get it to display on the teach pendant as "on". I am unfamiliar with the what the rack and slot number should be in order to verify the sensor that we are testing. Would you know/be able to explain this to me and walk me through this. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you so much for all of this information is has been extremely helpful! If I have any additional questions in the up and coming weeks I will be sure to reach out to you again!

Jay,
Thank you that information is very helpful. Unfortunately Scotty, I do not have any of the manuals for the robot as the university purchased this a few years ago and since then they seem to have been lost. I have been told that Fanuc charges for a new manual and we simply are on a tight budget. I took the robotics lab course a year ago but it only used this particular Fanuc for one lab and it was extremely simply, so I am going off of the basics which I learned over a year ago.
Jay, would you be able to elaborate further on the difference between CNT0 and FINE termination types and how each may be used more effectively in the programming process? Additionally, the PAYLOAD which this robot is being tasked with is extremely small (skewer and marshmallow). So with regard to PAYLOAD settings, would adjusting the PAYLOAD setting to a smaller value allow more freedoms due to the joints and axis' not being concerned with more inertia being moved? I may be misinterpreting this.
Thanks again guys!

I am currently doing a senior design project and am unfamiliar with the Fanuc LR Mate 200ic. I know that there are joint, linear and circular motions which can be performed. Can someone clarify the difference between each and a scenario in which I should use each one. I have noticed that sometimes when programming the joints will "lock out" or register a fault when programmed using a certain motion type, but not when programmed with the other one. I am trying to reduce cycle time and knowing which motions I can and cannot use for certain motions would be highly beneficial in the programming of the robots actions.
Thanks!
