Welcome to the forum............
2 Things:
- Did you follow the manual to install the drivers (the digital signature needs to be ignored in Win 10/11).
- Is your Cubic S module the correct version you are selecting in CS Configuration.
Hey so after doing a lot of research and some planning I have a couple questions. Do you think it’s viable to convert a robot to a arc welding robot?
AFAIK Kawasaki did not produce arc welding firmware for ZX Series arms on C controller.
All I know that on C controller they produced the FA Series arms (which were FS Arms) upto I think upto FA10 (10Kg paylaod).
This means the firmware was only available for that series of arm.
So ZX series never had any arc welding firmware available for it.
However, you should really contact Kawasaki directly about this, as they may have produced compatible firmware for higher payload rated arms.
If you purchased an FA, RA,BA Series system, then they have ALL the capabilities built in such as connecting to weld power sources and wire feed units, controller V, A and wire speed etc as they are dedicated arc welding systems.
When I put out this AVR and i was checking pins, I had only at 3 pins 7V. For me this is strange because AVR should has on out only +5,+12 and -12 V.
So you have answered your own problem.
If you don't have the required voltages from the AVR, then the AVR is faulty.
After this I was checking KCWIN32 and I had error 1800 "AC primary power off"
This error is produced during a power cycle and can be ignored.
So i can just contact kawasaki? Isn't there another link to download the free/lite mode?
Thank you!
If you are a Kawasaki client, you can join the download centre (Portal) and download the latest version from there or contact your local distributor as it is freely available without purchase.
I would like to lock all the 'sensitive' sections of the FS030L-A001 model robot controller to prevent inexperienced staff from unintentionally causing damage.
Are you referring to accessing the FS030L-A001 genitals, so that you can prevent them from being damaged?
On a serious note just what sensitive sections are you referring to and what do you mean about causing damage........your post is too vague.
Without any information, my answer would be not possible, but possible without special engineering, just good old reliable training and make them experienced.
Is your PC part of a company domain, or a standalone PC where you have full admin privileges?
Is KRoset running in Lite or Licensed mode?
During the install, were there any warnings or error messages?
I would consider uninstalling KRoset, cleaning out the 'allow' through firewall applications for KRoset, then reinstall using 'Run as Administrator' to install and see if this improves.
That's an old version, I would contact them and enquire if they have a newer version.
So does your hardware fall within Kawasaki specifications?
What version are you using and where did you get it from?
Is it running in Lite mode or do you have a license?
Does this happen on a new project or when trying to open up a demo project?
What robot model are you selected when creating a project?
Have you tried using the Quick Builder?
it gets stuck in the "Now loading" screen with the little pop up and green clock turning, the teach pendand window opens and i can interact with the teach itself.
What does this actually mean - A video clip of this occurrence would be useful?
Not much more I can assist you with except for reverting back to your original post when you claimed it was working and then since you've been removing things and sending for repair, who knows what connections are misplaced, not connected properly, bent pins or indeed boards which were working are now not working.
I bought old robot kawasaki, FS006 model C80F-A002 and i have problem with turn on it. He was working 7 days and now Teach pendant don't work and i found a broke servo board 1HW, because in place there is short circuit. I don't know what is doing this board and I can't find it in Net. I found only it is servo module. My question is: When i have broke this module can be I can't turn on teach pendant?
Now you are saying there are further problems and saying
Display MoreAVR is good and working
PB is working
1HP is working
1HW is working
1GA is working
1HK is working
Clearly something is not working.........................
So check ALL connections, boards in the correct place and firmly inserted, dipswitches are all correct.
If everything is correct, then clearly at least one of your working boards is not working.
Maybe contact this member/post and see if you can strike up a deal you'll get a card rack of boards to test.
Difficult to say.
You should not have to disable firewalls usually, just allow the process through the firewall.
The question you are asking is very broad indeed and if it is 'getting stuck' could be a multitude of things:
- Specifications on the hardware not meeting Kawasaki stipulated recommendations.
- Domain related and administrator rights.
- What windows version, graphics, firewall permissions etc.
To name but a few.............
See attached and do not duplicate posts it is against forum rules.
Duh......Silly me, I can see the full allocation is already mapped, no idea why I missed that.....
You've gone above and beyond with your explanations and totally cleared things up for me.
For an oldie and newcomer like me, your explanations have been fantastic.
Many thanks once again, consider this topic closed now........
Thanks for sharing the links....
I had already provided many flavours of editors here including an older version of KIDE:
KIDE is still being developed out of KRG (Germany not Japan AFAIK) based on user feedback and you may experience issues with older controllers as I think there are limitations with earlier AS firmware revisions (Kawasaki has bucket loads of them), however the team at KRG are fantastic to deal with and they have provided a KIDE support forum which can be found here:
K-IDE support forum (kide-forum.eu)
I myself don't use it as I find KROSET's IDE sufficient for my needs, but have had a look over KIDE fundamentally and it looks really good and well implemented too.
Prior to KROSET and KIDE, a plugin had been developed for Notepad ++ which made it easier and prior to that, you basically just had notepad and long way around programming for which good product knowledge was required and the IDE's thankfully are now making Kawasaki's a little bit easier to work with especially for newcomers.
Many thanks indeed for clarifying that and also the link.....
In addition to this (I'll be finding out next week on a live YRC), when adding a fieldbus network (reading through the manuals), there doesn't seem to be any real signal allocation, except for the number of signals.
So, based on what I can see, I am assuming during the setup of fieldbus, then the concurrent IO will automatically be rewritten/updated and therefore I will be presented with a much larger concurrent IO configuration and rungs.
Am I correct in this assumption?
Just a final clarification if you please.
Would my assumption of the following be fundamentally correct from a simplistic viewpoint:
Concurrent IO:
- External inputs are read and passed through as general purpose inputs.
- General purpose inputs can then be read in JOBS and you then set general purpose outputs in JOBS.
- General purpose outputs are then passed through to external outputs.
- In addition you also have the specific IO being passed through for system monitoring and control.
Overall Concurrent IO is just passing IO between controller and physical or fieldbus peripherals.
Without it, IO exchange would not be possible.
Huh?
I need to use an internal signal to monitor the status of each button
A button is an input (action of pressing it).
How is the controller supposed to know you have pressed it, if you don't monitor for it?
What do you mean?
But for each signal i need to replicate it as an internal signal and sometimes is a little annoying.
Many thanks for the explanation, that has cleared things up no end and works exactly as you described.
My first time working with concurrent IO, so it's a little confusing, your explanation has also answered some additional questions I had lined up too.
Perfect, really appreciate it......
Many thanks for your reply and this is exactly what I am trying to do, so that confirms what I am putting in the ladder is correct.
STR #60010
OUT #30030
You will need to modify the ladder beforehand to remove address 30030. You can only output to the same address once.
This where I have the problem.........as the bottom of the ladder program I have the following and I'm not quite understanding what is going on, and how to modify this:
** This just a generic ladder from MotoSim.
Could you just explain, what I am seeing here?
Hi Guys,
I'm struggling with getting my head around the IF panel and concurrent IO.
Simply I just want to monitor the press of a button on the IFP panel - configured as #60010.
Add a step to the concurrent IO to see the #60010.
During the press, turn on a single output (ext or gen) and display it on the IFP panel.
Pretty basic stuff IMHO.........feel free to point and laugh
Is this possible at all?
Any pointers would be very much appreciated......
