Thanks Sergei for clearing up few things.

I'm hoping to connect to the web interface to look at error logs as well as backup files from my desk.

I'm going to check if I have Internet Connectivity installed.

Thanks,

Tom

...The difference is the temperature probe has DHCP disabled and gateway entered - two items I don't know where to set on the robot.

Tried changing subnet mask on the robot to 255.255.0.0. This didn't make a difference.

However, I noticed that with my original settings I CAN access a different device on the network the robot is in so it's not the mask.

My laptop's I/P is 10.7.71.**

Temperature probe I/P is 10.7.114.74

...and I can access the temperature probe not problem even with both masks at 255.255.255.0

Thanks for replay guys, Here's more info:

My laptop's I/P is 10.7.71.**

Robot's I/P is 10.7.114.**

Is this an issue?

I also put the gateway address into Router I/P spot on the controller.

Still can't connect.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,

We've run an Ethernet line to the controller (R30-iB MATE) and setup Host Communication as follow:

Port#1 IP addr: (Static ip given by IT)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (again from the IT)

There's no router used. The line goes from the Ethernet switch to the robot controller.

However I can not ping the robot. IT are asking me to put the gateway address but I don't see a space for it.

Ethernet Port Status for Port #1 shows:

Link State: 100/Full

TX count: 3

RX count: 1243

Collisions: 0

Storm count: 0

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Tom

All I did is:

1. create my page using MENU - BROWSER - PANEL WIZARD

and .stm page is created and shows up under the BROWSER menu

2. opened my page using MENU - BROWSER - MyPage

Then you can create other pages and link them to each other using Button Change control

I did not have to set variables or copy files to FR.

hope this helps

Wow, finally got it.

... AND ...(((...)))AND)))...)

If anyone else has a similar problem, you just have to cursor to the '...' or '(' that you want to delete and press F4 CHOICE.
Only then a soft key F2 DELETE appears. Press it to get rid of unwanted instruction or place holder.

All that time when pressing CHOICE I was looking at the popup menu and wasn't paying attention to the soft keys.

Hi,
I started to modify my WAIT statement and ended up with some garbage at the end of it that I have no idea how to get rid of.

Basically I want something like:

WAIT ( (DI[101] AND DI[102] AND DI[103]) OR (DI[104] AND DI[105) )

but somehow I ended up with:

WAIT ( (DI[101] AND DI[102] AND DI[103]) OR (DI[104] AND DI[105) ... AND ...(((...)))AND)))...)

Now, my actual WAIT statement is much longer than the example above that's why I don't want to re-type it if I don't have to.

The question is, how can I delete the garbage from the end?

Thanks,
Tom

I will test it when I get the chance.

Thanks Robo_Eng,

FANUC sent me another message:

"I just checked in the manual and unfortunately the Mate controller does not have the External off contacts."

So, for now we can try Robo_Eng solution.

Thanks,
Tom

Here's a response from FANUC:

"It is not possible to restart the controller from the teach pendant with the Mate controller. There should be a set of contacts on the estop board for external on/off for remote access."

Tom

Thanks, I'll ask Fanuc and let you know if they respond.

Hi,

Robot : CR7 (collaborative)
Control: 30iB Mate

I'd like to be able to restart the controller from the TP using FNCT button, however in this particular controller (30iB Mate) or setup I don't see the option.

The only option related under the FNCT menu I see is 8.START MODE where I can select what happens on the next boot.

I'm guessing this needs to be enabled on my system.
How do I this?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Hope you can help me with this.

I'm setting up a collaborative robot and need to use two different force settings.
- Limit1: 50N for regular moves
- Limit2: 150N for fixture moves

Those settings can be changed in DCS menu by the use of a disabling input. Basically you set two limits and use an input to disable one of them.

I’ve been reading the collaborative robot operator’s manual but it talks about using Safe I/O Connect option which I don’t have.

Is there another way to setup a disabling input for one of the limits?
I see option for SIR and other safe I/O but I’m not sure how to turn them On/Off in the program.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Created a cell in roboguide and it's time to move my program and registers to the actual robot controller.
Loaded MAIN program, but when trying to load position registers (POSREG.VR) I get the error:

"File Sequence Error"

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Working in Roboguide and every time I restart the controller, I'm getting:
SYST-007 Network is the MASTER device and the $MTR_REMOTE defaults to 2.

I found out that for my setup to work (using Fanuc Panel Wizard option) $MTR_REMOTE needs to be 0

Is this variable changing on power up because I'm working in Roboguide?

Thanks,
Tom

Thank you.
I've already got the option for Panel Wizard so I will try to make that work with the flags mapped to UOPs.
I'm hoping this is doable, after all that's what this option is for!

Just got the Panel Wizard [option R594], and have quickly setup some buttons in ROBOGUIDE. See attachment.

However I’m not sure how to attach the functionality to the buttons.

I would like to know how to:
• Start & Stop the robot (only 1 program will be used, eq. MAIN - Program Select OTHER, $shell_wrk.$cust_name = MAIN)
• Reset Faults
• Increment/Decrement a register using +/- buttons

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

I did that, I installed v8.30 in roboguide, but since the original project was created in v9.10, the roboguide is complaining that about that.
I want to convert a project created in v9.10 down to v.8.30

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
When I try to open my project created in v9.10 on PC with v8.30 I get an error.

Since my controller has version 8.30, can I downgrade my project in Roboguide from v9.10 to v8.30?

Thanks,
Tom
