Using iRVision on R30ib Mate controllers. I've followed Fanuc instructions, had others give it a go numerous times, and on all 6 robots its the same story. I can leave the the part strait and the offset vision data is pretty accurate. The moment we start rotating parts, the X and Y data is off. The more we rotate the further off it gets. We're clearly missing a step somewhere. Thought?...

I promise you it's not that easy to do. You will need to develop a karel program for this and the one that Cognex has does not work at all.
WHat controller are you using?
It may just be easier to add a PLC to talk over ethernet to the camera, then from the PLC ethernet to the robot. That's what I typically do.

Thought I would throw this out there... I noticed a setting in Cognex In-Sight Explorer that I had not seen before. I've been trying to figure out a way to pass positional data from a Cognex camera directly to the robot controller without having to purchase Fanuc's stuff. I can see that the camera is putting the data out there using the Ethernet Native setting, but I'm not sure how the robot would receive the information... Any of you seen this setting and used it before? Is this what it's supposed to do?

I want to make this cable... Anyone have any specs?

I teach FANUC and MOTOMAN programming and virtually none of the techs that come through our program have ever seen, nor do they know where the manuals are that came with their robots. Many of them tell me that the integrators keep them. It's a travesty really! Nothing more frustrating that having to call the manufacturer when you know very well that the answers are right there in a manual somewhere.
