referbished robots

since it's a used robot : did you or the refurbisher made a init start?

If not, you can't really know what's going on.... (in comparison, on a windows pc you would do a factory reset on a used pc , or? )

Maybe a third party product like RoboDK, or special "robot cam programs" will be a better choice than RG for CAD to PATH fetures....

Quote from ROBON00B

So my question is: Is there a more efficient way to organize my programs in the cell browser and or teach pendant like creating folders or drop-down menus to make finding, selecting, and/or editing programs easier?

Roboguide is not able to organize the files

For some CAD data it's possible but as far as i know it's not possible for programs

On controller you are able to manage the programs inside collections. This "feature" is used because the controller is not able to "manage" programs inside different folders.

BUT I am not a friend of collections and haven't seen that often in the wild..

Use a text editor like notepad++; vs code oder similar to edit your programs/calls.

RG robots always allow you to upload the ASCII representation of your program...

Maybe RG V10 will solve some of the limitations, but I don't know.

We need to analyse this a little more deeply.

I think there is a background program running that implements this.

I think without karel you have no chance.

That one uses ethernet/ip!

EOAT with IO LINK.

Are you sure?

First, please check you're setup/hardware...

..I think the results are quite okay for an old robot...

Hi MANIKANDAN_S,

Check the Handling Tool manual

Your six axis "robot or manipulator" is connected to the controller.

This might be the first group.

When you have to control a couple of arms/manipulators with ONE controller these arm will be group2-group5 (or more).

Similar with rails or servo grippers. These can be configured to be a independet group.

Each group can contian up to 9 Axis.

--> group 1 is used by specific program 1,*,*,*,*,*

--> group 3 is used by specific program *,*,1,*,*,*

--> groups 1,3,5 are used by specific program 1,*,1,*,1,*

In this case used means locked or allocated by the program

So another program is not able to run alongside a program which allocates the same group.

When changing to *,*,*,*,*,* NO group will be allocated. So the program might be able to run alongside and/or in background.

In general you're not able to use Posregs inside the programs. Because the controller doesn't know which group the PR belongs to (this is more complex but for explanation it should be okay)

Please try to describe in more detail what you want to program.

BG Logic : Program runs cyclic and "always".

you can jump over parts of the program with

IF and FLG[X]

PNSxxxx : Program that is started by/from PLC

With cnc machined parts for the gripper, I would use CAD-Data.

When everything is proper engineered you might be able to teach/use only one Position for both gripper sides...

Hi younesstazi,

Unfortunately Roboguide has very poor or no CAD functionalities.

A CAD file is always imported as ONE part!

It does not matter how many parts or assemblies there are in the file.

The CAD data must be prepared so that (at least) all moving parts can be imported as single file.

You can practise with Roboguide first:

Have a look at the help for Machines.

And open Example workcell if necessary

In your tests, link the parts to signals or positions...

Good luck.

Hi

I don't know for that model, but you can check when trying to put a value like 10000 inside a motion command for linear movement.

 L P[1] _XXX_ mm/sec fine

System will tell you min and max...

For joint movement the max speed is 100%

Hi StoopidEngineer,

first get a proper cable (and usb converter)

then install dosbox

(in (windows) usb settings set com1 as port )

start dosbox

--> com port mapping

- serial1=directserial realport:com1

--> mount your kfloppy to dosboxes c

-mount c c:\kfloppy

-->type

- c:

- kfloppy.exe

- in "kfloppy settings" set port number com1

good luck..

just connect via FTP to roboguide robot (127.0.0.1:21 for first6 robot) and paste

SYSFRAME.SV+ FRAMEVAR.VR

on MD; just like on real robot

Or I am missunderstanding something?

Quote from hoitzing

If you run into issues where 370 position registers are insufficient, I feel like there's some underlying software design issues.

YES.YES. software design issue...

You can always "store" your PR's inside a recipe TP program or load csv files or calculate nearly everything...

Keep in mind : use local vars as much as possible and not the other way around

And since a couple of years you're able to use local PR's

Quote from Tat_Iron_Man

What then? Are FANUC representatives coming to update the operating system/modify the control cabinet?

Yes, not onsite but reinstalling/reconfiguring the software at their own controllers and sending you a new image (Europe).

I have seen that they did so to increase TP-Pool as much as possible..

Hi Tat_Iron_Man,

This depends heavily on the robot configuration.

Additional options can influence this:

For example, you can configure fewer PRs for controllers with several groups.

Fanuc decides this when creating the specific operating system or it is "calculated" automatically

As fanuc has hundreds of options and some of these intervene very deeply in the system, none of this is exactly predictable.

And the "default" values may also change from version/revision to version/revision...

As end users, we do not really have the option to intervene.

Just because we think we can control everything via sysvars doesn't mean it's always a good idea...

Hi Shubham_23,

I have not tested/looked at the code. But you write :

Quote from Shubham_23

NOTE: Little Endian is False always

On Windows computers with (x86/64/Intel) the endianness is Little endian.

On the actual robot with Motorola controller it is Big endian.

Quote from Nation

Pretty rare you need to increase the stack size of a program.

I would completely agree with you if I hadn't seen last year at a Fanuc showcase that the stack had to be increased for a palletizing program (CRX pal template)..

The term Fault is a little misleading.

This is because the signal is also present if everything is OK, but the "final" reset signal is not yet present or has not been applied

For example, when switching from T1 to automatic or when the dead man switch in T1 is released.
