Hi,

I'm assuming this is for a CAM/CAD to robot points?

Maybe split all the data between multiple applications and load each at a time as a library.
Are you familiar with libraries?

Hi,

J212 is the FastIO, and you have there 2 in and 2 outs!

I don't know any standard cable that could be plug and play.

Usually, I do the wiring manually, just make sure you connect it correctly. If I'm not mistaken, the input connection is PNP, and the output is NPN for some reason. Confirm with the manual.

Psyril Great awnser!

Hi,

I would say you might need the alter software option.

I have used alter in the past to move the robot according to an analog input signal.

I can share some information about the altar if you need it.

Hi,

You can always check both the robot and controller serial numbers. They should be the same, with the difference that the controller will show a C at the end and the arm an A.

The R should be the revision. I would say one is older than the other.

Not sure if it's possible to do it, I mean unless you code it to be able to move it while the program is running. Otherwise, you can't have the robot in automatic operating mode and manually JOG the external axis.

I integrate Servo Robot with Fronius, and it's the dream team. Both systems are easy to integrate with Fanuc. Never heard about Meta Vision Systems before, and is it worth the price saving for the integration problems? Price is always important, but at the end of the day, quality will make the most in the long run.

Exactly, these are the kind of questions that don't have an answer. I can tell you what I paid last year for a few days, but it won't be the same price today. Also, freelancers usually charge less for this.

It happens all the time

Hi ElEsgalho,

Thank you so much for your sharing!!

I've followed your step to create an account and now waiting for the registration.

I'll let you know if everything goes smoothly.

For the "can't download SRS 2019 anymore", does it means that only SRS2022 on Staubli portal?

Hi Musumeci,

As said here, you can't buy older versions, and these are not supported or maintained anymore. I have seen SRS2016 videos on youtube and SRS2019 looks exactly the same with better graphics. SRS2022, it's different from SRS2019, so any tutorials on youtube won't be valid, I believe the 3D engine is totally different.

As Galet said, there is an entire structure around an application.

The file alone won't be recognised as a valid application to run as a standalone file.

An application is a folder that contains .PGX files, the programs, and the start and stop program must exist.

It also contains a .DTX file, which contains the application data.

A .PJX file pointing to all relevant programs and libraries of the application. Even if you send a new .PGX file to the application folder, it won't be recognised unless stated on the .PJX file.

The .DTX and the .PJX names are the same as the application folder.

BTW all the above files are XML files that you can easily open with Notepad++. I even shared in the past my user-defined language color scheme to read the XML as it was open on SRS.

Galet I had to buy SRS2022 because I often work with Staubli robots.

To be totally honest, the software is graphically better than SRS2019 but is more unstable. Sometimes, it just closes without any warnings, for me, it looks like they released an unfinished or unpolished version just for the scheduled launch.

Example of the component editor, not sure why it exists, but it looks like it sometimes will be added there in the future. For now, I do all my CAD work outside SRS.

The thing that annoys me is the fact that only the robot is animated, anything else is static. I don't do too many simulations, but bits like opening a CNC door so the robot can go inside and take the product is impossible.

Kudos for the constant release of updates, early versions were way worst than the 2022.3 that I have. And as a programming environment, I really like the visual studio-alike approach of the auto-complete, debugging, breakpoints, and so on.

I would like to have the option to change to a dark theme, that white background is killing my eyes, also, programs should be able to return variables instead of relying on global data.

For example, if I want to create a program that returns a number, now I have to create the global num data or pass it as a reference. I would like to have something like this:

myNum = myProgram(input data)

At the moment is like this:

call myProgram(input data) -> return on a global data or
call myProgram(input data, &myNum)

This doesn't make any sense... Even worst, when some of the native VAL3 instructions return data but you can't create your programs to return data!

Could you please suggest or advise where can I download the SRS 2019 or 2022 ?

Also, I'm afraid you can't download SRS 2019 anymore. I'm stuck with SRS2022 at the moment and it's a nightmare xD

Musumeci If you go to the staubli web page (https://www.staubli.com/fr/fr/corp.html) and select at the bottom left the contact page.
Then there is a login button that lands you at the Staubli portal.
Click on Request access

"If you don't have an account yet: Request access"

And fill out the form.

Wait a few days, and you should have access to download not only SRS but all documentation.

I can send you a link to download it, did you sort this already?

At the new website, go to contact and click login to get you to the portal.

I would like this too...

Hi,

What do you mean by virtual instructor software?

Offline programming software?

Look for SRS, staubli robotics suite. Maybe that's what you are looking for.

Or you can even try with the SRS transfer manager. The transfer manager is free and works pretty good.

Same configurations and the same users.

For some reason, Staubli service engs prefer the FTP Surfer.

They gave me a document in the past with the following configuration:

But again, it works better with the maintenance user.
