New to us robot, (we bought 10 and they are all the same) I get one setup and configured the way I want, back it up then restore the rest so they are all configured the way I want them. Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Hoping someone can help me out here, went to restore an image on an older rj3 and during the "clearing FROM" stage I get an error at the 3M & 4M area that reads "ERROR (00000003)
What caused this error and how can I recover from it? Thanks.IMG_4356.jpg

I have changed the entire e-stop unit (with contactors) triple checked all connections, all seems good but when I press shift+reset to enable the drive instantly the bottom resistors on the amplifier start glowing red, I was quick enough to stop if from blowing this time but....still got the same problem. Where are the braking resistors located? Are they inside the back of the cabinet where the transformer is? We have checked resistance on the breaking resistors and they all read about 9.5 ohms

Hey, looking for some help. I have a RJ3 controller giving me a servo-136 alarm. I have researched this and about all I can find is suggestions to replace the amp and e-stop unit. I have replaced the amp and on first power up after pressing shift and reset to power up the servos it appears one or two of the three 30 ohm ceramic resistors on the bottom of the amp immediately starts glowing then burns up but as long as I keep holding the shift key and dead mans I can move every axis of the robot without problem but once I let off the shift key or the dead man switches and try to reset again I get a number 4 on the amp and the servo-036 alarm. I have replaced the e stop unit, ohm all the cables and haven't found anything so I'm hesitant to try a third amplifier without some indication of what the problem is. Anybody have anything similar happen? Its my understanding that the three 30 ohm resistors are there to bleed off the three capacitors after servo power has been removed?

Whats the difference between these two controllers? I have eight A05B-2453-B152 rj3ib controllers and i'm looking at some A05B-2453-3150 controllers. Both are R-J3IB. I have loaded handling tool on our robots and would like to know if I can use the same software for the other controllers. More specifically, can I do restore from images from one controller to the other? Thanks.

Thanks! That was it!

Thanks, it seems the PLC is not happy for some reason.

Sorry it has taken me this long to report back, I've been working on other projects. Im still having trouble getting this to communicate. So, one question I have is what should I set the uop to? I know rack 89 slot 1 but should the UO start at 1 and end at 16 and the UI start at 17 and end #? Then the DI and Do? In the pictures should I change the range on any of these? Thanks again for helping.

Thanks, I'll try increasing the RPI and see what happens. Im testing this set up right now so the PLC is actually sitting on my desk and the robot is out on the shop floor connected to the network so there could be some network hurdles there but both are pingable.

I tried using the generic module with the same settings as in the post but it still shows faulted. Maybe I don't have the i/o configured properly in the robot?

Here are some teach pendant pics that may offer more information.

Can someone help me out? I have been trying to get the ethernet i/o set up on this robot and having a little trouble. The robot has the ethernet ip option, I have it on the network and can ping to and from it but when using the Fanuc robot add on profile in the compactlogix it gives me a major and minor revision number error. The Module shoes only revision 2 but it appears the robot is reporting back that it is revision 1. Robot controller is a 2003 model Rj3iB. Handling tool v6.4. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thats pretty much what we normally do but I was hoping someone out there made something similar to the numatics fanuc endplate.

I want to utilize the EE plug on our robots to fire some valves for a pneumatic gripper. Normally we just cut the cable at the back of the EE connector and wire in our own plug but I don't want to do this anymore. I found that numatics has a faunc specific end plate [url]http://www.numatics.com/Common/PDF/TDG22FNDS2-0EN.pdf/url] and this would be the perfect solution for what I need except that it does not match up to the pinout for our robots. After many phone calls and searching I am lost. What do most of you do with the EE plug? Do you just buy a cable and cut the end off of it then terminate it into a junction box? Is there no pre-made junction boxes out there? Or other plug and play/ready made valve manifold solutions?

Solved. The problem was that my controller has the auto/t1/t2 key and needed the control reliable option installed. Did a controlled start and installed the option and everything so far seems to be back to normal. Thanks everybody for all the help.
-
Also, I have the full size cabinet. I went through a controlled start then to maintenance and manually configured the robot for a remote cabinet but after doing this and a cold start nothing seems to have changed. Did I miss something?
-
I don't have the original software for this robot but I did make an image backup. I had the robot working with the original software. How can I tell what cabinet this new software is for?

Ok, new day starting fresh. First things first I decided to reload the software to rule out any mishaps there, started at the bmon menu and chose 2(all software install) and the only question it asked me was what type of flange did I have standard or insulated, I chose standard (still guessing at this one) and when it was all done it asked me to cycle power. After the install was done and I did a cold start I went to the alarm screen and only had two different types of alarms. The first is the door open or estop alarm and the others were pulse mismatch errors which I expected. I went through and configured all the I/0 again and reset the pulse mismatch error and I am still left with the door open or estop. I think I'm getting a bald spot now as this has turned into a real head scratcher for me lol.

Thanks for the help, gotta work on a different issue on the shop floor now so i'll pick this back up tomorrow. I'm sure I will have plenty more questions for you by then. Thanks again.
