What robot model? What software?
What are you milling?
Most likely you want to purchase the HandlingTool manual. If you're milling simple shapes you can program them directly in the teach pendant. If you are doing crazy 3d sculptures then you probably want to purchase cam software.
Could be a couple reasons.
1. Are you jogging in a different frame than the program uses?
2. Is your offset a user or tool offset?
Fanuc Scaras are actually pretty affordable. I would consider that if you can find a model with the reach you need.
Go to menu>setup>host conm>tcpip and find the ip address. If blank then set one. Then connect your PC to the robot controller with an ethernet cable. Open a web browser and type in the ip address.
Did you check the errorlist on the robots web page?
What's your budget?
Can you modify the end effector to work within the limit?
What model of controller?
You can view the error list on the robots web server.
You only get 8 bits with PNS. Period. So your PLC is going to have to do something different.
iRvision has a runtime webpage that displays the last vision process image and result. Have you tried viewing that?
Yes, If p2:p1 = 2:1 and p4:p3 = 2:1, then p4:p1 = 4:1.
I see a few things that are wrong.
Signal timing is off. It shows all three signals coming on at the same time PNS bits, PNS Strobe and Prod start. This is wrong. It should be as follow.
1. PNS select bits come on
2. wait 100 ms
3. PNS strobe turns on
4. wait 100 ms
5. Prod Start signal comes on
6. wait 100 ms
7. PNS Strobe and Prod start go off
Please fix the timing sequence to ensure a reliable startup.
Second you do have another error. Startup Check failed. Which should be accompanied by another message in the alarm history showing which check failed. You can view the startup checks on the Prog Select screen. Please take a screen shot of that and post which startup checks are enabled. Then you can go through each one that is enabled and see which one is causing the error.
I would first try to troubleshoot the issue before you go that route. Can you send the image or video of the UI signals?
Change the PNS strobe back to a pulse. Then please take a picture of the actual UI signals at the time of failure, not the DI copies, they are meaningless, UI are the only input signals that matter. If you could take a video of the Teach pendant on the UI screen while the start sequence is happening.
Maybe you need to replace the batteries.
You should show us the actual UI signals, not the DI copies. DI copies don't do anything valuable anyway.
I saw your PNS strobe signal is on. That should only be pulsed. On for 250 ms then off. Wait 250, Then pulse the start signal for 250.
Did you have success using pdl's method?
Do you have PNS setup in the prog select menu? Is the PLC setup the same? Are you using abort and prod start signals correctly. The picture above shows UI[6] which is a red flag for me. Yes it can work but is not the best way.
Show more pictures.
To see the current running program to the the select menu and press monitor.
Did you select the program. Go to the select menu and press enter on the program you want to run first. If that doesn't work then check the settings in the run configuration menu in roboguide.
