I'm doing motion and lifetime simulation with my ROBOGUIDE and MotionPRO.
I created a TP program, press run-panel, and make sure reducer/power/duty info will be collected, and hit run for 1 cycle.
Then I launched my build-in MotionPRO, and saw the run log on the left, select the log I just ran, and reducer info was shown on the right hand side.
Then I tried to move to optimization, select cycle time optimization. However, after I hit start optimization, an optimization error popped out and said "This run log cannot be optimized because backup TP program does not exist. Please try to collect data again"..

Tried the same thing several times but no luck, also tried to backup my simulation TP program to MC/UD..no luck.
Does anyone know how to deal with this error message? thanks!

I know exactly from first hand experience what causes this. It took my years to figure this out.

There is a karel program called Get_Home that if someone runs this program it causes PR1 to change to Joint.

Best solution I found was to disable the karel programs with the variable so there are not seen in the program list.

Another solution is to just not use PR1. I have done this before just to be extra safe.

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Hello Guys,
I've been working on a R-2000iC/125L with pretty standard software package (handling tool/DCS).
There's a taught position with PR[1] as tool offset to slightly adjust this taught position.
And this robot was running for almost a week without program, been through that taught position thousands time.
But one day, robot just went to middle of nowhere and hit axis limit and I found that PR[1] was changed from Cartesian to joint format, and also the numbers in PR[1] were completely different then before.
And I'm positive that I'm the only person who can change coordination via teach pendant, and there's no such command like PR[1]=JPOS in my program.
Just want to ask, is there any setup/routine/ that could overwrite numbers and coordination in position register?
Thanks
