Hi V.Chlebek

Quote from V.Chlebek

QUESTION 1) Is it possible to use USB in this case? If so, is there some example of this or documentation hidden under the table?

Never heard about that! Please tell us if this works!

Quote from V.Chlebek

QUESTION 2) Is there any other possibility how to connect the tool, any ideas?

..

I am starting working on that offline,

Use COM-port inside cabinet but

you are not able to do 'COM/SERIAL'- communication with Roboguide!

Use ethernet (with socket messaging) if you want to do offline programming.

Best regards

Hi hoitzing

Maybe I didn't understand everything correctly.

But here are some ideas and information:

DPM : Generally I have to say from experience that you always have to play around a bit with DPM until you have the right settings for the respective application.

The speed can be regulated with DPM only indirectly over the IPT and the offset values/settings.

(Maybe)Originally developed for welding, DPM compensates a (sensor) offset as quickly as possible.

I think you can't use line-tracking.

Hi SkyeFire,

Quote from SkyeFire

There are some concerns that the torque of the bolt driver may exceed the servo-holding limits of the robot.

Are you sure you are running the robot within the specs?!?

If yes, it should be NO problem.

Maybe you can use commands like:

(collision guard)

: COL DETECT OFF;

and

:• COL GUARD ADJUST

or set the brake delay time to ~1 second (or longer).

At your "workspot" wait until "brake status" is "brakes are on"

Start your process..

Or maybe use $machinelock var..

Hi hoitzing

use built-in

SET_EPOS_REG Built-In Procedure

Purpose: Stores an XYZWPREXT value in the specified register

Syntax : SET_EPOS_REG(register_no, posn, status <, group_no>)

Quote from HawkME

If don't need that level of synchronization then I would keep the robots separate. It is much simpler to have separate robot controllers and programs.

YES!

if you can solve the task with several robots(controllers) with just a few handshakes: buy several robots(controllers).

This is always easier to program: multi tasking debugging and monitoring is always ( on the pc as well as with robots around powers more stupidly and/or more annoying!

Multiple TPs is also always(!) better.

Quote from CLanford_Conmet

I've read that you can execute the run command and it would effectively run a 2nd TP program simultaneously to running the one you're currently on. I believe the motion group you're using for the RUN command has to be separate than the motion group for the motion group of the current TP progran that you call the RUN command from.

This is correct.

And yes, you can monitor multiple programs.

Hi M3Power95,

this is possible. And one of the strengths of fanuc.

But you have to figure out what you really need.

In most cases I would not recommend ONE program with completely different and independent tasks. --> use RUN command and sync the tasks (or not, with flags)

I did programming with a 32 Axis controller( 4 6-Six axis robots on same rail with external axis at each tool. All with and without coordinated motion)

Check out : dual arm controller, coord motion..

Hi deltaplex15,

You have to install it by your own. It's not installed because only a few people need the usb cam driver.

You can install it with windows device manager.

If this task is to complicated, ask your sysadmin

best regards

Hi deltaplex15 ,

inside

RGinstall folder

/Support 20191203_SC-1G1F2_kowaFX3driver.zip

Hi deltaplex15,

have you followed the instructions from irVision manual?

- installing usb driver

- enable camera(s) inside RG ( sounds you have done this)

- choose the camera inside irVision CameraSetup

--> if the usb cam is not available -->driver, camera model ?

best regards

Hi yolovs,

the stroke limit is axis 6 , at least at your screenshot...

GO[1]=($SCR_GRP[1].$MCH_POS_X*10)

I just copied your code, and it works .... ?!?

As TitusLepic wrote,

but this is only possible on newer software versions:

MENU-NEXT-SYSTEM_CONFIG

NO Motion PR Operate Mode --> TRUE

Info:

FCTN - Toggle Wrist Jog

Acces the FR device with FTP ot TP

Hi frederiksensome,

Do u know if there is any way to get the pendant into default state as it is when shipped we can do on-site?

I don't know. But:

Is there guarantee?? --> Ask Fanuc!

AND:

The TP runs WindowsEmbeddedCompact7.

You are able to compare folders/files of two TP's side by side...

With powered up TP (not connected to robot, or wrong ip ) your TP will show a black screen. This is the windows desktop.

Attach a mouse to TP, then do right click.

--> you are able to browse the embedded windows file system.

I do not remember the "shortcut" at the iPendant to NOT connect to the robot.

Hi ducks09,

R-J3iB does not have BG-LOGIC or FLGs.

So it's not that easy.

You can write a second task/program that will run in background.

This program has to monitor your DOUT[x] and sets the corresponding TPOUT/SOP...

But I don't recommend that, because of "multi tasking power" of RJ3iB...

idea: It's an old controller. so wire up your DO to the User Push Buttons LED.

Hi amin12,

that's not an easy one liner ..

Do you really need it? In Background? For PLC?

Is it an option to use LPOS at some point in your code?

---

In TP there is no RELATIVE POSITION OPERATOR( : )

So you might have to use/program a karel programm running in Background..

Hi frederiksensome,

It looks like the TP wants to update its firmware.

Try the following:

- Connect the TP to another robot (current software version) and boot this robot.

(...automatic firmware update...)

After the firmware update of the TP, connect it again to the other/original controller.

- Or try another TP on the controller.
