I am curious. Why is it necessary to constantly reteach points?
Do you need recipes or offset control?

My customer is wanting to create the opportunity to log program edits. I am more familiar with Fanuc and ABB. Is this a possibility within the Panasonic programming and output structure? If so, how would I go about setting an output upon program editing? Thanks

@cobenson-I remember years back there were issues with the relays on the E-Stop board. They would come unplugged just a tad and cause chain alarms. Might want to check it?
Thank you. Unfortunately, no luck. The cell is also in a very dusty environment (they actually make dust in a barn like warehouse). It seems like they are in for a Kobayashi Maru. Repurposed unregistered RS1/RS4. I can't seem to locate a drawing that matches the set up.

Hello all,
I have an RJ2 controller with 2 REUs. I have a servo 21 on all axis with no apparent estop. No other alarms active or seemingly reated in hist. I have 24v on crm9 and 11. One wire of 9 (pair) goes to REU terminal block as 51 then across tb 37. The other goes to servo amp. I am unfamiliar with Rendundant Emergency Unit usage or wiring. Can this be the culprit? If so, anyone have an idea of how to get it resolved? If not, same question thanks -
An update that has me more puzzled. I went to get a backup and there was a usb stick in the ud1 drive. I got a new backup loaded in roboguide to find it would not run. Even loading just ul001, inf 1, pa sta1 grpr, and pos reg. Anyway, I went back to step through the real world tp program and it stacked correctly?? I have video of the before and after. How taking a backup impacts results is a mystery to me. My concern is that there will be a reoccurrence when I install the cell next month. Will exhaust my time in trials to verify that I doesn't occur again.

Anyone seen inverted approaches when creating in pallet pro turbo?
410ic185
one infeed
one pallet station
one box style
2 different unit loads 1 for placing at pallet station 1 on plastic trays, 1 for placing at pallet station 1 on wooden pallets1/3 of the approaches are inverted????
First time seeing this one, any ideas?
Thanks -
I am hammering through a program in Roboguide in support of a colleague. The thought dawned on me that there might be some time saving tips available form you folks. The project I am looking at is nose deep in re purposed (ing) routines and registers.
The question-
Is there a short cut to finding the ultimate source of a register's value?
This came up in trying to find why the robot is stacking on the layer above the desired one.
It is easy enough to see the three registers that are being populated with the information. Not so easy to sift through the 169 selections to find the ultimate source. Even starting with Main and digging through, each of these selections is calling macro's and programs that are setting the registers situationally or conditionally. In Rockwell you can just go to cross reference and find your culprit.
Additionally-
What are your best practices to getting to the bottom of causation from the teach pendant or Roboguide?
Thank you in advance for your participation.

Most are covered above. For your own benefit check tools. There are approved TSA locks if you do the rolling bag thing. I can have as much as 200 pounds of tools for a job site. But, for programming I carry a multi-meter, flat head, phillips head, tweaker, terminal driver, strippers, jumper wire, application specific fuses, laptop (xp, windows 7, windows 10, etc), and connection cables (Ethernet/serial/etc)

Not sure if this helps you but I have seen a big difference when teaching your placement frame by using a teach plate and rod to determine travel P1 to P2 orientation.

Anyone written an auto recovery for these yet?

We lost a controls guy that successfully transferred a program from one cell to another. I attempted but somehow it did not go well. Are there any tricks that I need to consider. It appears the I/O resides a little differently. ?????

What is your payload setting?

Lost memory using boot discs brought up s4 controller. Trying to access program received 40068 error. The description of error doies not seem to match the condition. Has anyone seen this?? Thanks

It does sound like it is not mastered correctly. When you say it is not following the same path, are you in world coordinate linear motion?

I know I am late to this dance, but, I had a similar issue not too long ago. ABB will help to the extent it can with recreating the original job. It isn't cheap. If your system will be in use more than year, it will pay to get the back-ups recreated to avoid future issues.

I was interested in this thread. I had hoped there would have been some information about RIPE

I would think starting the robot motion and spray when the part is in the correct location would eliminate the need. What do you want to happen in your operation? Do you want to avoid the crash by stopping motion prior to, do you want to stop line prior to, do you want line to adjust to position the part prior to, do you want the robot crash to stop spray with an interrupt, or do you want the robot to work through the crash and spray anyway?

It is strange that you only have a flashing cursor in one corner - maybe you have another issue with the controller at the moment that is hanging the controller rather than a wiped boot memory.If you had later 2.1 software you might of been able to make a backup through service/file/ that contained the serial number.
Earlier versions of 2.0 and 2.1 had no backup facility so you had to save parameters in a SYSPAR directory and all modules separately in other directory.Normally on an M94 after a pulled Main/Axis/ Memory board, a forced c-start or a dead back plane battery you will see a lot of memory erasing steps after power on (T-xxxx several stages), then you will arrive at a prompt saying 'insert disk 1 (of 3) then press OK'
The problem with M94a systems you will need at least one original boot diskette (RW2.0 or 2.1) to transfer the serial number (using the dos serial number transfer program 2300-2 update.exe) to a new complete set of boot disks unless you can get a generic boot disc set (no serial number) from ABB. We had to do this in the good old days when updating robotware and leaving a customer with new discs with correct serial number.
Thank you.
I had to leave the project for another and return. I was able to get the digital version downloaded onto diskettes using an old xp os. Got the weld cell welding and the brake started dragging for the 315c positioner. The customer shorted the resolver during a troubleshooting exercise. I tried to boot without the 315c info modifying the eio and moc to exclude positioner references. I got a fatal sys error. We are trying to get another servo. Meanwhile, I am still trying to develop a program that will allow them to position manually in the absence of the servo. Any ideas?
