I only messed with Motosim once or twice. Do you just load the tool.cnd file, or is there another step after that?

It sounds to me like you are asking about Motosim, but keep calling it Motoman.

Also, please check that the behavior is or is not the same in world and base jogging. If it is not, then you should look into the baseframe of your moc.

OK, way back in the day, there was a change to 6600's which made them type B? variants. Some of them made it out of the factory without the sticker which said type B. They jogged wrong in linear quite clearly. When we reinstalled the system with type B, all was good. I would still be very sure that the robot type indicated in the system matches the sticker on the robot. And the serial numbers match robot to controller.

6600's? S4C+?

Does the jog window show any change in the axis you see drifting? And are these newly installed? Maybe they are not levelled well.

What version of controller? Does the installed robot type match the sticker on the robot?

Did you try using the joystick lock for the directions that you do not want it to go? Eliminate accidental deflection of the joystick.

I would add that payloads be setup correctly, including whatever these robots call equivalent of ABB "Armload".

I think that you just Daisy chain or use a T connector. They just need different addresses.

I was looking elsewhere (ahem) for some assistance for you and had found this:

OK, great. I was just about to ask if you had the pickmaster circuit diagram.

Same as subject says.

The external operator panel just happens to follow that bit about conveyor tracking, it is not saying that it must be also installed. I will also post the circuit diagram for IRC5 compact.

I just uploaded IRC5 compact product manual to the manuals section. If you need others, let me know.

Here is the product manual for IRC5 compact.

You do not have any backups at all? Are there some stored in the controller? If not, you would be best served to contact ABB support with the serial number to request the proper keystring. It will enable you to correctly build that system, with all the options that it ought to have. For example, the correct fieldbus interface. Is it in system failure or just will not boot?

What robot controller version? Just putting any backup in there can cause system failure and more problems that you cannot fix.

The first thing that I would do is to apply for a copyright.

I do not have a whole lot to offer up. But you mentioned material handling, so one thing comes to my mind. That the bolts holding the end effectors onto the robot are safety lock wired such that they cannot back out from vibration and such. I went to one installation that had been running and a maintenance person needed help to position the robots so that they could check/tighten any loose bolts. I was like, "what? Who does not lock wire their bolts?" Well they didn't specify it, and I suppose others don't either. Big hazard to have an end effector come loose at high speeds.
