What voltage do you measure on the screw terminals on the rear of the battery box?

Is my understanding correct?
YES
Then, if this approach works, I should be able to put the telnet connection and the KCL command inside a script (like a Python script) and use it to do the same thing. Correct?YES
I have only a final question, do I need to have any specific software option from FANUC to be able to apply this idea?
Not that I am aware of, as long as it has an Ethernet port, it should be good to go. Ethernet ports have been standard since the RJ3iB was released.If you have RoboGuide, you can use that to debug KCL commands:
The KCL terminal in RoboGuide is accessed through the windows Robot menu:
But first you need to perform a controlled start on the virtual robot and then change the port settings under MENU > 7 Port Init:
Make sure to set one of the ports to a KCL port:Enjoy!

Two legs of a 120/208 WYE will measure 208VAC between them.
As far as the controller is concerned, it will power up and operate just fine.
-
Did you press the on/off button?
Serious question. I had a customer do the same as you because they were used to working on more modern controllers which only have the main disconnect and they didn't realize there is also a button.

How about Telnet?
All that's needed to do on the robot side is to set a password for the KCL user.
Once logged in, you can issue any KCL command that you wish. I don't see why this couldn't be automated with a script, isn't that what Telnet was built for?

Configuration instance should be 100 with a size of zero.

Robot crashes are also much worse with the default payload if the robot actually has a small payload.
In my opinion, that's probably the most important reason to set an accurate payload.

Is Vision Setup unlocked from the HTTP Setup screen? (MENU > SETUP > HOST COMM)
-
And nobody will be able to help without some details.
What type and version of controller?
What is the error code?
-
Are there any other alarms? When on the alarms page, make sure to press the F3 key to view the entire history of alarms.
-
Have you tried the if (...) instruction?
-
MENU > SYSTEM > DCS
F3(?) to apply, default code is 1111
F4(?) for okay
Cycle power

I don't use adhesive transfer tape much, but when I do, it's MMM 969 all the way.
Very good stuff.
It picks really consistently with a Fanuc M6

What batteries did you replace? The CPU (Lithium) or Encoder (Alkaline) batteries?
Did you at any point see a SRVO-062 alarm? Have you reset the pulse coder alarm from the mastering menu?
I think you are facing two unrelated issues here, but that is just a guess. -
How have you been recovering from this error when you encounter it?
Have you performed a Cold Start?
Under MENU > SYSTEM > Config, what is Use HOT START set to?
or
What is the value of $SEMIOWERFL? -
Why are you trying to use Karel for motion? Fanuc has explicitly stated that it's not to be used anymore for motion.
It can work if needed, but that's really only to support legacy code.
Developing new Karel motion code is a dead end.

The IF/THEN/ELSE instructions were not available on Fanuc controllers until late into version 8 (R30iB). This is why Fanuc programmers were forced to use JMP LBL's instead of IF/THEN/ELSE. As you pointed out, it can make for some real spaghetti code.
This may also be why you don't have the ELSE instruction. What version of software are you running? -
What version of software is running on the robot?
You can check this from MENU > 1 UTILITIES > 2 Hints:

Looks like the origins of your opened and closed models are different.

Can you post a picture of the LEDs and seven segment display that is on the main control rack inside of the controller when it is in that state?
