Hi,
Thank you for your advice.
I should clarify, the issue is not that i don't know how collision detection works/how to use it, it's that my boss would like a data/spec/etc. sheet with the specs about it.

Hello,
I have a LRMate 200iD with a R30iB controller, that has the collision guard pack installed. My boss wants to know the specifications of the collision guard pack (i.e. at what torque sets it of) i have looked in the documentation from Fanuc but i am not able to find anything relevant.
Can anybody provide me with something (documentation, specs sheet, etc) that i can show my boss?
Thanks in advance.
skalactik,
Thank you, i should have been more clear, i meant on my actual robot. I thought there is a way to see which options are installed on a robot via the teach pendant.
Thank you,
If memory serves me there is a way to look up all the options you have available on a robot but i can't remember how, so does anyone know how to see the available options on a robot?(i figure best do it properly by adding everything in one go instead of just adding the things i am currently using)
EDIT: i mean if there is a way to see which options are installed on a (actual) robot via the teach pendant.
Hi,
I have a workcell in roboguide (v9), because i was to lazy i created it without a couple of add-ins my robot has (collision guard, etc). After loading in the program i created in the workcell onto my robot i just added a few commands to still make use of the options.
While using the program on my robot i tweaked a couple positions (to compensate for real world inconsistencies). Now i need to add some stuff to my program (which i want to do in roboguide), but when i try to load in the (updated) tp program in roboguide it gives me the following error: 'Error loading program ... prog uses un-installed option.'. I understand that is because i added the options on the robot.
So my question is the following, is it possible to load in options (like collision guard) after making a workcell or am i forced to make a new workcell?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Like Tomas Kabourek said you should indeed first solve the problem before resetting the abnormality. I've had the same error in the past and it was because i blew a fuse on the emergency stop board (Fuse 4 i think it was on a R30iB controller), in my case it was caused by a faulty external e-stop connection.
After you've solved the problem there is a chance the error still comes up in which case you can reset (menu, alarm, F4 for res-1ch, F4 again for yes, then the reset button).
Hello,
depending on your controller cabinet you could use the Hold signal, it's a NC input signal that halts the program (its the same as the hold button on the TP). I've added the explanation for the Hold signal as it's the described in the R30iB manual.
Sergei is rigth but why e stop when you have the HOLD input by UI. Then you dont have to reset after e stop

Like rafahil said the hold signal is not a safety signal and although the PLC e stop will not be the only e stop available, it will be the one most commonly used (it's a testing environment so from time to time the e stop will be necessary) because during normal operation there will be no one standing near the application to press an e stop and the closest person will be the PLC operator (sitting behind a computer).
thank you all for the help i will be looking into connecting the e stop via a contactor.
Thank you everyone for all the help.
I managed to get it working properly by connecting an external 24VDC line. For anyone that, like i was, is wondering where to connect the external 24VDC line, it can be connected to the DOSRC(1,2,3) pin on the CRMA58/59 connector ( ext+24V - DOSRC1/2/3 , ext 0V - 0V)
And for those wondering where the 2.4V came from, i found out they where residual voltage in the PLC (when measuring the output i didn't take the connector out of the PLC).
Hi,
Thank you all for the replies.
QuoteWhat is the reference for the mentioned 2.4V.
I am using the earth terminal (on the R30iB cabinet) as 0V reference.
QuoteI am assuming you are hooking up to the standard I/O (next to the e-stop board) and not the EE connector.
I am indeed using the I/O next to the e-stop (CRMA58). where do i need connect the external power source?
I am not, is that required, and if so where do i connect the external power source?
Hello,
I am using a Fanuc LRMate 200iD with a R30iB mate controller. I've connected 8 inputs and 8 outputs from the robot to a PLC. The inputs work fine and everything does what it should, but when a output should go on, i can see it changing state on the TP but i can't see anything on the PLC, when i use a multimeter i can see there is 2.4V on the pins (always even when the output is off). I've checked all the cables and fuses (i blew a fuse earlier today unrelated with something unrelated to this) and everything is connected properly.
Thanks in advance.
Sergei Troizky,
First of all thank you.
Secondly, do you mean that one channel must be Normal Open and the other channel Normal Closed. And if so which one is NO and which NC (EES1-11 of EES2-21)?
QuoteAnd be aware, that human safety cannot be implemented by software, unless it is a "Safety PLC".
thank you for the advise, the external E stop connected to the PLC will be used as an extra safety measure, the other E stops are still within arms reach.
Hello,
I am working on an application in which my robot (a Fanuc LRMate 200iD) is controlled by a PLC (via IO signals send to the R30iB mate controller). I want to send an E stop signal to the robot via my PLC.
Since the external E stop uses a Normally Closed 24VDC signal i hoped that simply connecting pin EES11 and EES21 to an output pin on my PLC (also 24VDC) would do the trick. By having the pin being always on (except if i want to E stop the robot) the robot can run, when the pin goes low (when i want to E stop the robot or the PLC goes into E stop) the robot will stop. Apparently this doesn't work (or i did something wrong) seeing as i blew a fuse when trying this.
So my question is as follows; is it possible to use my PLC to give the robot an E stop signal?
Hi,
I've had this error in the past when i tried to reinstall roboguide on my computer. It was because the previous installation wasn't completely removed of my computer (there where some leftover directories and dump files remaining). After removing every trace of the previous installation (deleting the leftover files and running ccleaner) i didn't get this error anymore.
Hope this helps
Hello,
I'm in the process of designing a EOAT gripper for a Fanuc LR Mate 200iD (with a R30iB mate controller) and i am trying to find out what the maximum power output (maximum amperage) of the robot is. My robot has a 12 pin EE connector on the arm with 2 RO (robot output) pins.
I want to connect a solenoid to one of the RO pins but before choosing one i need to know the maximum power the RO pin can deliver.
I was also wondering what the maximum power output of the +24V output pins are because if the RO pins can't provide enough power i might be able to use the 24V pins (seeing as in most electric devices the V+ can deliver more power than the digital out).
I've searched every piece of datasheet and user manual i could find, but can't seem to find any decent info about it.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
here is a link to a roboguide trail that includes FRVRC 7.70: https://mega.nz/#!PUM1xIba!7N_…oxu2H-kmqL5Sg0I. i tried to add a zip as attachment to this post but it's to large.
