  • Fanuc R30iA - "If" Statements

    • alive15
    • May 7, 2025 at 11:09 PM

    Hello, for Fanuc R30iA, I have a code which looks at four different Digital Inputs before jumping to a label. Is there any way to add more than only four digital inputs in one line of code? I don't want to keep jumping to different labels to check multiple digital inputs, just check for all of them on one line of code if that makes sense.


    Thanks,

    Here is a program to translate TP -> LS.
    Just run the .bat file to translate all files in the folder (You have to copy the TP files to the same folder)>

    Thanks, this worked on my windows 10 pc

    Hey guys, I found out how to complete this. Go to menu, systems, config, and then set "Enable UI Signals" to false. Then I was able to jog the robot despite getting the PRIO-100 Model B comm fault.

    Hey guys, I will follow the procedures shared.

    I have one caveat, there are a couple of robots where the machines have already been removed, so the robots are giving a PRIO-100 fault (Model B comm fault). Basically not seeing the IO modules in some of the machines because they are gone and disconnected. Any way to bypass this fault so I can jog my robots in the correct position? I can still complete the image and AOA backups, however I cannot jog the robot due to this fault.


    Thanks,

    Good morning guys, hope everyone is doing well. We plan to decommission a few of these robots from our departments and wanted to know if there are any work instructions out there we can follow? We are mainly concerned as to what position we need to keep the robot and wanted to see if there is anything else we need to look at or save before pulling the plug.

    Thanks,

  • Auto Safe-Home Routine

    • alive15
    • January 24, 2024 at 11:21 PM

    Good afternoon all, hope everyone is doing well. How do I create a routine where the robot can safely exit any machine in any point and come to a safe home spot automatically?

    I have multiple robot cells with Fanuc M710iC running on either R30i-A or -Bs and these robots complete basic material handling from machinery to machinery. Machines are about 120 degrees apart and have a little but not much room for error when robot is loading/unloading parts. Sometimes, part will hit fixture and cause a "robot collision detect fault". Our techs are familiar with manually jogging the robot out of the machine, dropping the part on the floor, and restarting from the top of the program and I would like to automate this with a pushbutton. I was not sure how to write a routine where no matter which position the robot is in, it would safely exit a machine and arrive at a safe spot without hitting anything? What would be the ideal way to program this? I do not have software, so I will write everything on the teach pendant itself.

    Thanks,

    Quote from AlanL

    I don't think I've seen a robot run differently from roboguide. In cases where I run into the axis limits I put in a joint move to avoid the axis limit. When you are doing linear moves the robot will try to take the fastest route to the next point, sometimes that route ends up wrapping up the joints. If you put in a joint move that gets you moving in the direction you want while unwrapping your joints it should pick up as normal from there.

    Also, you can extend the allowable range on some (maybe all, I don't recall exactly) of the joints. I usually avoid this unless it's needed for reach, not so much to accommodate moves.

    Hey Alan, where is this option/variable to extend the range on Fanuc R30iA and iBs? Might be useful in the future.

  • Fanuc Safety Fence Question

    • alive15
    • August 9, 2023 at 12:48 AM

    Good afternoon, I have a R30i-A Fanuc robot controller and working on wiring up the fence (EAS) section inside the panel. Am I able to run these two channels directly through a door interlock alone or do I need an additional safety relay? So when the door is closed, the two N.O. contacts on the door interlock itself will shut and then complete the circuit for the EAS1 and 2. The door interlock is safety rated. So whenever the door is open, it will immediately kill the EAS circuit and cause a fence fault on the robot.

    Thanks,

  • Searching for Direct Replacement Bolts from Fanuc?

    • alive15
    • May 18, 2023 at 6:19 PM

    Good morning guys, I'm looking for the direct replacement bolts from Fanuc? We will be swapping out a reducer and I wanted to replace all bolts, but Fanuc did not have these in stock. I wanted to purchase from McMaster, but not exactly sure what the direct replacement is? Here are the Fanuc part #s:

    A6-BA-8X16 cap screw

    A6-BA-8X25 cap screw

    Thanks!

  • RM1 vs RP1 Cable for Fanuc R30iA Controller

    • alive15
    • May 13, 2022 at 11:37 PM

    Hey guys, just wanted to clarify one thing. If I unplug the RM1 and RP1 cable from my robot and replug in, will this lose any memory from the encoder? I believe unplugging the RP1 will lose all encoder info and I'll have to remaster/cal the robot, but the RM1 cable is just high voltage power lines to all the motors, correct? Thanks and have a great weekend!

  • Need a signal when Robot waits too long

    • alive15
    • April 6, 2022 at 6:27 PM

    Good morning all, hope everyone is doing well.

    I have both R30iA and R30iB Fanuc controllers, and interested in getting a signal back from the robot if it waits over 90 seconds at any line of code. Do I have to use a digital output for this along with background programming or is there a signal I can grab somewhere from inside the controller? Looking for a 24VDC signal from the robot.

    Thanks,

  • Fanuc Teach Pendant

    • alive15
    • July 15, 2021 at 5:36 PM

    Does unplugging teach pendant with power on actually do damage? I thought our guys may have done these hot swaps without too much problem. Usually there is a fuse you can swap on the board where teach pendant plugs up. You may have to swap the board out also. What is the exact fault you are getting? Make sure that the estop isn't pressed in on the new teach pendant, sometimes it's already pressed in once installed.

    Best thing to do as well would be to call Fanuc Robotics group directly and get there input also.

    Would having Robot door on R-30iA or R-30iB cause this fault? I have had the robot cabinet door open but the robot still runs in auto?

    If you have switch on robot controller in "T1 mode" and teach pendant switch to "on", then you can hold dead man switch and shift key to move robot around using the blue joint buttons on the left.

    If robot controller switch is in "auto" and teach pendant switch is "off", then you can hit reset and cycle start to run whichever program you have selected on your teach pendant, usually "main".

    Could someone explain the difference between controlled, cold, and hot start, and when to use any of these? Also, wouldn't a normal bootup be considered a controlled start perhaps?

    Does anyone know the part # for these grease fittings? I need to order some, but Fanuc tech support seems really backed up today. I have the same robot, M710iC/50, and need to replace the fittings on the robot itself on Joint 2, but assuming all joints have the same fitting?

    I had a friend take a math test, and calculator needed to be in degrees, but he left it all in Radians. Got everything wrong! Haha luckily teacher was cool enough to convert to degrees and give him good grade.
