Anderic: Can you please tell me the exact procedure to setup and see the current values of robot's registers through kepware? On both sides: PC and robot. I have downloaded and installed KEPServerEX 5.

See the following thread. It explains how to read actual position in real time. You can follow the same method. All you have to do is to find the variables you need to read.
https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/fan…31129/#msg31129Thanks for all your help!!
Till now, i could setup a program in BGlogic to transfer current torque and other status values in to the registers. Logic works fine. Now i want to read the current values of those registers in my PC or PLC. I think, this can not be done by simple GO, at least over devicenet. There are only two ways which are available for me to exchange data or I/Os with robot and these are : Devicenet and Ethernet.
Is there any way to read the current values of register, which may be in decimal with sign, using either dnet or ethernet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Increase in pushing depth may help.

Thank you for the info! I wanted to know if it is possible to read the values of axis current, torque etc. that are displayed in the Status screen of R30iA controller.

Hello!
Is there any way to see real time data (basically the values we see on status->axis screen of the teach pendant) in R-30iA controller through any of the following protocols
1. TCP/IP
2. FTP
3. DHCPI could see those values on fanuc web server when i connected the robot through TCP/IP but they are not dynamic.

Dear All!
On contacting Fanuc India (who then contacted Fanuc Japan), they had asked us to check the following:
1. Influence of Noise
2. Confirmation of earth resistance
3. Confirmation of the connection between TP and panel board-emergency stop-servo amplifier
4. Mode selector switch may be faulty.We had checked (2) using power analyser and found earth resistance OK. (3) there was not a single pcb/cable that was left unchanged. (4) is also OK
But we found out that the incoming MCB connections were loose which might have been causing spikes/harmonic noise into the system and thus causing chain failure. So (1) is the reason.
We have kept the robot under observation and found issues in the last 4 days. Hope this helps. Will keep you posted if there is anything else.

@All:
We have a Fanuc R-30iA controller that we use with a M-900iA 350 manipulator (<6 months old). The problem is that OVC is generated only when the robot is run at low speed and at only one point in its path. There is no problem when the robot runs during production i.e., 100%.
The OVC alarm is generated in the 5th axis (only) and at only 1 point in the cycle where the current in the J5 axis (-21.8 A) is almost close to the minimum current limit (-21.9 A). Physically, the manipulator is carrying downwards a payload of almost 285 Kg (145 Kg Hand + 140 Kg Underbody) and J5 is at an angle of ~-100° (I hope you can visualize the robot position). When I bring down the speed to 30-40%, the current at that point shoots up to almost 25 A and the OVC is issued. I find this very strange.
If it was any other robot, I would have done the payload estimation for the robot with Hand + Body (currently payload estimation of Hand + Underbody is present. I think it was determined from OLP itself) again. But here it is not possible because (A) the underbody is huge and (B) the robot just carries the underbody down from point a to point b and does not grip/clamp it in any way.
What could be the reason and any ideas how I can resolve the issue?
Thank you!

Eric:
Attaching the actual picture of the panel board. Version of OS is: V7.50P/23
RoBoWi:
TP number: a05b 2301 c300
Panel Board Number: can be seen in the attachment.Please help.

Eric:
I have attached pictures for both single and dual chain panel board.
Sorry, i could not put the actual picture taken by camera but the part no. and appearance is exactly the same as the one we use in our controllers. I took this snap from "R-30iA Controller Maintenance Manual" itself. It is on page number 186 of the manual. You can check it.
I know changing Servo Amp for this problem is not a solution but i cant neglect the fact that fault disappeared after doing so. Also, I know the removed servo amp was not faulty because it worked OK on different controller.
RoBoWi:
I am not sure that the TP we are using, is single chain but it might be. Because it works fine if we interchange it with RJ3iB controller. -
Dear All,
We are facing this problem in R30iA controller and it is occurring frequently and each time, the problem is resolved with a different countermeasure i.e., servo amp. replaced first time, back plane PCB second time, teach pendant third time. The replaced units are not faulty at all and work OK on different controller.
We use a single chain panel PCB. So, all the connections (EES1-EES11, EAS1-EAS11, SD4-SD41,EES2-EES21 etc), that manual suggests to check, are not present.
This robot is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

How can LOG.LS file be deleted or initialized through TP?
-
Is it possible to see (and modify) PC (KAREL) programs on TP? If yes, what additional software or add-ons one needs to buy from FANUC to do so. If not, what softwares are required to see and modify them on computer?
Thanks in advance!!

I am new to Yaskawa Motoman Robots and have tried my hands on Fanuc!
I am trying to power up a NX100 robot controller with manipulator ES165N. Everything was OK till the
Alarm 1325: Communication Error
Robot 1[slurbt] (in all axes)came. I checked all the encoder cables and found them OK. Also, i tried to perform Home Position setting under the Management Mode but I could not select the axis (or all the axes using 'edit' button) and SERVO ON LED was blinking and i could not get the servo on even after pressing the deadman. I was wondering if this alarm is equivalent to pulse mismatch in Fanuc??
Can any one suggest some ways (apart from the ones given in the manual) to overcome these issues .
Thanks in advance!
