You cannot save /load IMAGES to/from ROBOGUIDE, otherwise FANUC will go bankrupt .......
You can only do "All of the above" backups which is not the same as an IMAGE backup
ROBOGUIDE free options are awesome but you cant pull them onto a real robot.

Very good information above!

I think you have to do the load through a controlled start (PREV +NEXT) though.

My understanding is that DCS was added at V7 (not available for RJ3iB but can be added to RJ3iC)
earlier than 7.5 versions had very limited DCS functions.
After 7.5 DCS is when it received all the good Functions that you find on the newer robots now.

hope this helps

You can bump up the number of PRs on Controlled start

If your ROBOGUIDE is loaded with the correct options (because you made the cell with a backup file) you probably have the show/hide DCS button toggled.

look on the top area of ROBOGUIDE for an icon with two green circles attached together by a green rectangle, this is the hide/show DCS button, click on it and DCS will appear and/or disapear, you are not enabling /disabling DCS, you are just hiding or showing the User models and or CPCs.

Sounds like you are using a safety Input? e.g. SFDI, SIR, ? if so , DCS Inputs recovery speed reside inside the $DCS parameters, you can change the recovery speed inside these variables.

FANUC Robot Options are purcha$ed, therefore whatever you bought in Robot 1 stays in 1, you cannot transfer options even through an Image load.

You have to call FANUC and give them the Fnumber plus the option code e.g. J587, in return they will give you a PAC(product activation code) for that option, once you have this code you will have to enter it in order to activate the option in robot #2.

different options, different prices.

Option is not the same as a license.

Your FANUC robot needs to be licensed in order to get help from FANUC.
You FANUC robot needs an option in order to perform specific tasks.

You could load the "core software" from Robot #1 onto Robot #2 and that will transfer the options

You can always find the variable needed and dump it on a register, then take the register and transfer it to a PLC to be translated......

R1=$Torque values for 1
R2=$torque values for 2
and so forth

GO[1]=R1
GO[2]=R2
etc

M-Series Robots (delta) do not master the same as a regular manipulator arm.

They (FANUC) use what is called "Axis phasing"..... then you have to run the Robot in AUTO and it checks it self for the new values.....

The way you are doing it is wrong, hence the curve movement when moved in WORLD/USER..... instead of linear

You need this manual

MARMI6B6C03031E REV. D
Page 72

When using register values for Speed values for example L P[2] R[4]mm/sec FINE ......... The mm/sec got there by default by selecting a linear move......Joints movements will outcome on degrees , but like mentioned before...... you can change it by using the CHOICE F key or by changing the defaults under the ED_DEF F key

Sounds like your instructor wasn't very very basic, sounds like you need manual.........

Outputs can be driven by multiple scenarios.

That output it might be staying on due to the following scenarios:

-Complimentary enabled with RO#4
-PMC has been programmed to drive ON
-Reference Position has been enabled and program to drive RO3 and you are not at Ref Pos.
-IO assignment is overlapping with another signal

There is multiple methods to drive an output.

I believe RO3 is being driven by one of the previously mentioned items

Your LRMate has built in solenoid valves that you can use to open and close your gripper.

Toggling Robot Outputs:
-Menu-5-TYPE-ROBOT-OUPUTS

-Toggle them one at a time to find out which Output number did you use for your gripper

Macro Programs:

-Write two simple programs (MACRO) that toggle those outputs, one for closing the gripper and one for opening the gripper(you can always use complimentary)

Assign the macro:

-MENU-6-F1-MACRO-

-Select the previously created macroes under the program column by pressing Choice

-Under Assign column Select UK , and pick a number :
(1) is the key under the Enter key
(2)is The key right under UK1 and so forth........

Form now on just press UK1 or UK2 and the gripper will toggle open/close
