Hello,

Check you program, maybe some of positions in job are out of range and robot give pulse limit error.

Why you will load from FTP?

Is the pattern file so much big?

When alarm occur, there are a reset button on bottom of the screen.

If you don't reset alarm from this screen and change the page, the alarm in on the controller yet and you must go to alarm menu to see alarm and reset it.

If you need a hardware button in your system, you can use external inputs and connect a key for reset alarm. With this key always you can reset alarm, even if you aren't in alarm screen.

If i remember the #20013 is for reset alarm and you can connect a push button to this signal to reset alarm.

You can use SETTOOL and GETTOOL instruction.

Give the tool data with GETTOOL and add/sub your values and write it to the tool with SETTOOL.

That is a option function and you need to have on the controller.

Many thanks, for replying.

So, if I read you correctly:

- If during the initialization/setup on a brand new robot I select language 1 as Japanese and language 2 English, then after the reboot, I can change this just by pressing those keys described which will now toggle between language 1 and 2?

Can you also confirm the following:

- If I try and change the language by the initialization/setup method AFTER I have loaded in files, etc, just by the action of changing language in maintenance mode, will always lose data etc.

Display More

For item 1, yes.

When the controller initialized by two languages, only need to press SHIFT+AREA to change between those. That is possible select only one language when initialize controller.

For item 2, after initialize controller, all data (jobs) will lose and you need to create or load jobs again.

Hi,

You have 3 way to use your needs.

1. Use Ladder: The ladder is always running (after turn ON it will be run and don't need run robot job). The speed of it more and don't use memory. It can use only when you will check some signals. In this area you couldn't use special instructions same as JOB only check signals.

2. System Job: That is a Non Group JOB and it is run in background of system. You couldn't use any Motion instructions. That use Memory. It don't need run robot to work only after turn ON controller it start working.

3. PSTART and PWAIT: This instructions are using when you will run some jobs in different task. You can use this instructions with only one Motion job and several Non Group job. for use this need to use in a job and run robot JOB for working.

for example you have a Master job, you can write below code in it and run it. both job are running in same time.

NOP

PSTART JOB:MOTION SUB1 (MOTION is a Motion job)

PSTART JOB:CHECKVAR SUB2 (CHECKVAR is a Nongroup JOB)

PWAIT SUB1

PWAIT SUB2

END

You understand correctly, unfortunately in Yaskawa you couldn't create a job in UF at first and all normal jobs are in PULSE type.

If you open a normal job and user job you can understand the difference between those.

Hi,

You define UF's correct on your stands.

For next step you need to define new standard job (ROBOT JOB) and tech your workpiece on the stand 1. After that you must relative this job and convert it to UF1. (The normal job is in PULSE)

For relative a job, go to job and press UTILITY menu in top of job content and select RELATIVE JOB function.

Convert the job to UF1. Now your job is in UF1.

You can take a copy from this job and go to it. Go to JOB HEADER (i think that was in DISPLAY menu) , there are a field that you can change UF1 to UF2. Now this job will work on stand 2.

Other way is open JOB in PC with notepad and check every where you have USER 1, change those to USER 2 and save and load on controller.

I just started working with Motomans a lot this summer, so I'm still pretty new to them. What does the play function do?

Is your means play mode function?

If you lose the T-axis data before re-home, it give you a new data for this axis and it isn't same as original plate mounting on the door of controller.

I don't understand why you lose the home position of your robot, maybe the batteries have low voltage or maybe the servo motor and its encoder have problem.

I don't know how you did the wiring and use signals.

For servo ON the signal #40045 must trig, therefore check on the ladder this signal.

For example you need if the input #20030 turn ON from PLC the servo turn ON too.

Use below code in ladder:

STR #20030

OUT #40045

Now check your ladder and find #40045 and see how it use.

Or you can go to "select job" afterward "edit" => select all => job => delete job

IF use this method, the deleted jobs go to TRASH menu under JOB menu and you need delete jobs from there too. (If TRASH function is active)

You can go to Maintenance mode and initial job.

With this work all jobs in the controller delete.

For more info for I/Os signals in DX100, give install and wiring manual.

It explain about all system signals and user signals that you can use.

There are 4 port for I/Os on the DX100, in the manual explain about each pins of these 4 port.

Which axis have this alarm?

What controller model are you using?

If use DX200 you can load from USB or CF card.

If use YRC1000 you can load from USB or SD card.

There are a sample code to load pattern file from operator panel in the palletsolver manual.

Hi

See the manual, it show you some address for gripper ON, Gripper OFF, blow off, part present, gripper close and gripper open.

You need to map your input and outputs from your gripper to this addresses.

You don't need any change in the pallet solver jobs for gripper. If you map according to the signals in the manual, all things work correct and don't need any change.

Hi,

You couldn't connect PLC to the Motosim software. It doesn't have this function.

We hope Yaskawa improve the software for this work.

You can use $B002, it will show the status of search function, if search was correct this variable give 1 and when it wasn't correct it give 0.

GETS B000 $B002

The status of the search will save in B000.

The abort key or its signal can work when you have error in the system when robot was palletizing.

If you stop robot by the hold key, you can start robot and it will do the cycle and finish it.

If you have error in pick/place, you can use ignore or abort signal.

If press ignore signal robot continue the cycle and error will be reset.

If press abort (if robot have box), it will go to home and go to reject station, release boxes and come back to home. The build station will be lock and you need to confirm the realese done and unlock build station.

After that robot will do previous cycle again.
