There is a sticker on the inside of the door that shows the terminals that the signals are on. If you are not using them then there will be little white plastic jumper plugs in them.

The R30ib controllers have a TP fuse on the Estop board near where part of the TP cable connects.

I notice you have a tool offset on your J point. Whenever you offset a joint move you can inadvertantly cross a limit. I would recommend instead doing a Joint move with no offset to start and ensure your axes are in a good starting position, then do you L move with offsets.

Why not use the built in motion programming that comes with the robot? The robot already has an optimized motion planner, no need to reinvent a worse version of it.

There is also a production check in the Prog Select menu that can force it to 100% on start and resume.

It would work as long as you call pick program stays on the same part. Without seeing the code it's hard to say.

You can have an if statement with 6 DIs. Just use "or".

It gave you the answer. You can only use 1 box. Everything else must be a different shape type.

You need to set the Z height in the vision process to the distance from the offset frame to the surface of the part.

You would need to ask that vendor which communication protocol they use. Fanuc robots can communicate in a number of different protocols. Generally you have to purchase them as an option.

If you have a comm option then you would normally send real numbers directly to robot registers.

You have to use the if statement that has parentheses.

Try changing that variable in a controlled start.

Use the UI signal cstopi. Then in system config set cstopi to abort all.

It is an input but you don't have to wire to it. You can also control it in your program by mapping it to a flag. Or use a comm protocol.

If you changed the vision pattern you would likely need to touch up the pick position PR[4] also.

If the height of the part changed then you would also need to update the vision Z height parameter.

You can enable/disable comments to show in the program. It's in the ed/cmd menu.

Well if it broke that robot then what's to stop the same thing from happening again? Maybe the company doesn't like money.

Sounds like a larger robot is needed.

When you dual arm, 1 controller has the CPU removed. I think the only thing different at that point would be the axis control card. You should ask Fanuc to confirm if that's an issue.

Or consider if you really need dual arm control vs 2 robots working together with their own controllers kept separate.

USA would typically use 480V 3-phase, 60Hz.

Post your code. I think there are some significant limitations to IIC.

Yes, there is a thread about BG Logic that covers timing in the tools section of the Fanuc forum.

Program with a text editor, then you can have infinite opportunity to copy/paste snippets of code.

Use Background edit. At the top of the select screen is a file called bckedt. You select that first, then select the program you want to modify, then make and apply the changes.

However you cannot apply the changes if that program is currently running. It's works best if you have a main program that calls sub programs and you don't need to edit the main. Then it is pretty easy to apply changes to any sub programs. You just have to hit the apply button while that sub isn't currently being called.
