I believe so. Occasionally it could be off by 1 scan, so normally 8ms and occasionally 16.

There is a sticky thread in the manuals and tools section of the Fanuc forum here that covers BG Logic. BGLOGIC code that I have found useful

You can use a register as a counter to count program scans and use that in lieu of a timer, or you can use a register with the $fastclock system variable as a timer. Then you use that timer logic to pulse signals.

Flags work, show your code. Are you controlling the flags in a BG Logic program?

UI signals are not safety rated.

Set the 6th element of your vision register to 0.

Open up that cell in RoboGuide, abort then select a different program.

Also, do you have admin privileges on your PC?

I would recommend just using iRvision. It is plug and play with the robot and has the built in software you calibrate it to the robot.

The manual is large but pretty good in my opinion. I suggest learning on your own then consult the manual with keyword searches or looking at the table of contents as needed. One you get more familiar with programming Fanuc, then you can start reading more of the manual and understand it better.

Check all fuses on the estop board and all fuses on the PSU (power supply unit). Better yet check every fuse you can find. Check the connections on the estop and PSU.

If it is included from Fanuc, then it should be documented in a manual. Usually there is also a corresponding TP program that will show the arguments.

You need to specify what data you want to read.

Just put it on a separate line of code after the movement. With the movement set to FINE it will wait to finish moving before setting the output.

As far as I know, the Micro850 only supports explicit messaging over EthernetIP. So you won't be able to setup the regular Cyclical IO exchange. You can only send messages to a register for example when you trigger that instruction.

How about adding 2 PRs together to use as the point.

Can you successfully remote in to the PC?

Well I noticed it was a local IP address so I was just making sure you weren't trying to connect to a local address when your not in the same continent.

Do you have a PC local to the robot that you are connecting to over team viewer?

Are you still in Europe...

You won't be able to run the robot in teach mode safely with that solution.

Can you do a joint move instead of arc?

Try adding a wait instruction every 3 points. That might break up the motion planner.

Calibrate on a Fanuc robot just means to read the current encoder values and corelate to joint angles. It doesn't hurt to calibrate and usually occurs automatically on startup.

Just don't remaster.
