Does anyone know if the presets in the DATA table (i.e. Fluid Flow, Fan Air, Atomizing Air) are stored in a system variable. I'm looking to write to the presets from an HMI(PLC)
The way I thought I could achieve this is to write to a register then use BGLogic to assign the Preset value from the value in that register.
But I cant find the variable...(if it even exists)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
this is a P-50iB running PainTTool, 30-ia, V7.70P/43
I wrote the config file. Now when its logged out it shows OPERATOR ( Not TP Disabled )as the current level and is restricted. Perfect.
Thanks again for your help with the _AUTOLOGIN_3. I'm logging in now with a bit fill to a group output from the PLC. And when logged out, my config file restricts the pendant
i can still touch up a point in existing programs when I'm logged out.
I did notice i lost the ability to abort all under the function tab when logged out. i got it back when logged in. So, its probably working somewhat.
This is terrible. There must be something I'm doing wrong. No way they would operate a Password protection like this........
I guess I'll try the configuration file next
I cant get this robot to stop to check any more advanced function restrictions. maybe i can get it this afternoon for more testing.
i really appreciate your reply.
if my operator level is too lenient is there any thing I could do?
Our problem is not with so much program point changes, but rather fluid flow presets as the operators adjust them to compensate for a clogged nozzle
if i wrote a configuration file for the "operator" level does it override the default settings? So it would log out to "my" config. file instead of the default settings already there
When i log in at level three I cant do anything but navigate. Perfect. But when it logs out, I'm free to make changes.
I'll check more when I can get access to this robot
It may be working correctly.
I can Auto Log in and out but when its logged out i want that current level to say Operator,
or on my old V7.7 R-30ia PaintTool say level three.
Instead it says nobody is logged in and the current level is TP Disabled. i dont know what that means. There's
im just not restricted when its logged out. I can simulate inputs, change presets, registers. All that I want to restrict when its logged out
I appreciate your replies
I have setup up the _AUTOLOGIN_3 as the INSTALL user. My manual never mentioned _AUTOLOGIN_3......Just _AUTOLOGIN_0, AUTOLOGIN_1, and AUTOLOGIN_2. But you were right. I can 'auto login' and 'auto logout' by turning on a input from the PLC now. I cant however with ALogin0,1,or 2.
However, I still have issues. When the TP is logged out. It is not at the operator level. Its at the INSTALL level. Full access. I noticed when I monitor the system variable $PASSWORD.$CURR_LEVEL and auto logged in and out, I saw the levels swap back and forth from a 0 (operator level) to an 8 (INSTALL level), but it was doing it on user two, not one. This may be my problem. So when I'm logged out, user 1 shows an 8 and user 2 shows a 0. Its like i havent enabled the password function.
I created a plain jane user name and password and assigned it level 3. So when i log in under that user with a typed in password, i get restricted to level 3. But when i log out, the TP is no longer restricted. In this situation, the plain jane is user two( not user one like AUTOLOGIN_3 ) and yet still under $PASSWORD.$CURR_LEVEL is see the number toggle from 3 to 8 in the same user two slot.
So I believe I'm missing something. I did all this work with the robot in production so I never cycled power. But its doing the opposite of what I want it to do. Its not logging out to the operator level. Rather to the install level.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
I believe i understand that.
So if the DI was on that would translate to true on the variable, and if the DI was off that would translate to false on that variable?
Thank you so much for your help. i'm going to try it very soon and i will let you know.
I dont believe i see that. in my manual, it discusses the _AUTOLOGIN_ function but i dont see how its related to an input from the PLC.
the way I'm reading the Autologin section, is to set the UserName of the INSTALL level to AUTOLOGIN_0,1,or2. Then that allows you to use the teach pendant just like you would if the password is not even on the teach pendant? I guess i dont understand it.
Yes, i want to send an input from the PLC, then that input would release the teach pendant for use. It may be the AUTOLGIN but i dont understand it.
The only variable i see called $AUTOLOGIN is number 16 under the $PASSWORD system variable. I can just set it to true or false. i need an enable variable somehow to go true when input is sent from PLC
thanks for your response
I am trying to restrict access to several Fanuc (R-30iA) teach pendants.
I have the password option loaded onto the controllers. i have read the manual on the password setup. But what i'm trying to do is grant access with a badge scan instead of a password or an usb drive. We already have these badge scanners on alot of our machines so management is determined to use them for this function
This is a P-50iB running PaintTool and has the symbolic teach pendant. mainly I just want to restrict the Presets(Data Key) and of course the TouchUp function. But I wouldn't mind restricting everything if I have to. Due to certain safety issues, we need zero access granted to operators and those not authorized. So i'm looking for variables that can achieve this and I can just turn the variables on through BG Logic once the badge scan is accepted through the PLC. I've talked to the CRC at Fanuc but they said they dont know of a "disable editing" variable. After reading many threads here on RobotForum, I see that certain variables are very elusive and restricting access to certain keys has to be written out in the .xml file in the password configuration setup. That is fine. But I dont think I can write the setup file and then "access" it with a badge scan like I could with the actual password login.
So, I believe i would have to try to restricts what I can in the system variables and then turn those variables on and off with the BGLogic.
Ive "heard" of people restricting the editing through a variable. But have yet to "see" it. I know a lot of knowledge is here so I decided to ask if anyone here has any idea on how to achieve this. I want to use the password option, but instead of a password or an usb, I want to use an employee ID badge scan. The goal is only grant "editing" abilities to those with the correct badge
Thank you so much for your response. This is very close to what I'm talking about. I cant thank you enough. I've spent days looking for this. Since you are so knowledgeable, maybe you can help point me in the right direction in learning how to set up two robots on one controller(Teach Pendant) in RoboGuide. I understand that the second robot has to be a different group on the controller. But that is about it. I am searching for this info now but I believe I can get the answer from this board faster. This is a great resource. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by not setting up a new "topic" thread. Thanks again
Thanks all.
But I'm not trying to use P[R]s. And I have plenty. I want to use a dimensional offset from one p[R]. I want to place a part, then tell the robot to place each part after at "x" distance from first part. I've seen this process run before but cant remember the instructions.
I am trying to place different size parts in different sized racks. I am using the teach pendant to program and I have a r2000iB. I want to program to the first "slot" in rack, place part, then use an offset to place the rest of the parts with the same approach move. Some racks are 6 slots. Some are 12 slots. But the offset is always 6 inches. I would like to know how to offset in any direction. I want to use an actual offset. I have used P[R]s but was wanting to try and write it a different way as my P[R]s are limited. Any help is greatly appreciated
