Thanks guys, I'm still a beginner in many aspects of FANUC.

Are you saying I can't do this:
IF UI[x]=ON, jmp lbl[y]

if I remember correctly...

IF ...=...
if I choose a Register on the left of the = sign, I think I can select UOP signal?

Thanks a lot, I will avoid it then.

hi Bidzej,
I've read your explanation of the i/o mapping however my question was how DI=UI mapping might be beneficial.

The PLC is already able to send command outputs and I can read them fine through UI's.
The robot is already sending it's status through UO's and the PLC sees that.

If i wanted to check a particular PLC output in my program I can already use:
IF UI[5]=ON, ...

So where could/should I use the D <-> U mapping?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
I'm currently finishing up cell (with two robots) that has been partially setup by the integrator before he quit...
Basically the PLC will be controlling the robots through UOP using Ethernet protocol.

I'm reading that Digital to User I/O mapping makes for an easier programming.
Why is that?
Can someone provide an example of where this could be useful and/or nessessary?

Thanks,
Tom

I see the following there:
Collision Guard R534
Collision Guard Pack J684

So I guess it's there. Any idea what's in the Collision Guard Pack?

Thanks,

Hi,
Robot: M-10iA
Controller: R-30iA

Our robot has to get into small openings, pick up a part hanging on a rack, move it to another area, then drop it back. This works fine 99% of the time.

In 1 part of the program, 1% of the time (due to inconsistencies in some racks that the parts are hung) the robot touches the part beside it and faults out with:

SRVO-50 Collision Detect
SRVO-53 Disturbance Excess (G1, A3 A5)

I've been reading about the Collision Guard and wanted to use COL DETECT OFF just before the move that creates the servo fault followed by COL DETECT ON.

However I don't know if we have this option installed.

How can I check what options are installed in the controller? ALSO
Is there a way to program the robot to change it's path IF it encounters above servo fault?

Thanks,
Tom
