What is $MCR_GRP[1].$PRGOVERRIDE set to?
-
What type of controller and what version of software?
-
Use BG Logic, it will keep running through a fault on the main system.
-
The values are section 14.8.2 of the handling tool manual.
-
Under SETUP > Host Comm > HTTP Authentication, is everything set to "UNLOCK"?
It is indicated by the "U" in the left hand column:
-
The easiest thing to do is not let the batteries die, just keep the robot powered up.
What kind of robot is it? It should just need four D or C cell batteries for the encoders.
-
Have you changed the batteries? (With the power ON)

Have you ever used KCL with Telnet?
On a virtual robot, I can view FRB: using KCL. I can also copy fro FRB to any other device, but you can't write to FRB:, even using the OVERWRITE command.
Here are the .prp files in my virtual robot's FRB:
They appear to be my Karel p-code:
-
Set $RMT_MASER = 1 and local/remote to remote.
Under SETUP > HOST COMM > Telnet, assign a password for the KCL user:
Once that is set, you're done with the robot.
On your computer, first verify connection to the robot by pinging it. If Telnet is not enabled, google how to enable it. Once successful, from CMD:
>telnet {robot.ip}
You should see:
ogin with the kcl user and the password you set earlier.
Then from the KCL prompt:
KCL> RUN <prog_name>
If you forgot to set the correct remote master, you can set it from the KCL prompt:
If I need a quick way to run remotely for development, I prefer to do it this way. Mostly because the only thing you really need to change on the robot side is the remote master variable.
KCL and Telnet still have their uses.

I too agree you might get more answers at a different forum, but I think you will get the best answers here
I would love to see some pictures of this project and maybe some of your previous builds too?
-
Nope. Servos can't commutate without feedback and there is no way to set them up to run open loop.
-
Have you ever used any kind of vision system?
-
Where are you located and what specific site are you using?
Fanuc America's site still has RoboGuide:

I think there are two parts to your question: exporting and executing.
I don't think there's any real workaround to exporting, or more precisely, running the program from the robot controller. The program will somehow need to execute from the robots RAM. How you get it onto the controller is up to you, whether it's a USB drive, PCShare, or FTP.
Executing the program from your computer is definitely possible. For a quick and dirty approach that only requires an ethernet cable and PC, I would look into using KCL commands over Telnet.

What line did you delete?
And you can load the file if you don't edit it?
-
Yes and no, it depends.
Do you have the ASCII upload option? Do you have RoboGuide?
-
If you are already using MasterCAM, you might want to look into Robotmaster.
If I had to guess, it's probably an order of magnitude more expensive, but if you're already started down that road...

I usually setup a group output for each piece of data I want to monitor. I just set the outputs in PLONPAL.TP after calling open_tool and pulse an output so that the PLC knows when to update the HMI:

Omron also supports Ethernet/IP. Having used both EtherCAT and E/IP, I would use E/IP.
Both field buses will require a paid option, but E/IP is only a software option, no hardware is required.
