Hey everyone that took the time to help my AUTO mode delema. I have a hydraulic turn table so there are 2 sides to have parts to be welded on. There is a Side A and Side B. So going through the previous programs I noticed these two "programs" named Call A & Call B. When I had opened them, there was nothing in the programs so I pressed "call program" and then was able to run in AUTO. The solution was that I needed to insert the program I was wanting to weld into another program with whichever side I needed to weld on so long story short....If I want to weld an object I had loaded parst into on Side A....I scroll to find the program name of Call A...and call my program of choice to weld. Thank you all anyways for the effort.

This is the snap shots of what my settings are at. Is there information that is or is not enabled to prohibit the AUTO mode for this robot?
-
What does PLC stand for? sorry the abbreviations have me all mixed up. And UOP (User Operator Panel?) would that be the teach pendant? What do you mean by having them mapped Kevilay? My digital inputs I made a snip photo of that Ive attached.
pdl: is disabling the UOP mean turning my teach pendant off? and setting the main control panel to AUTO. Ive done both these steps. Earlier someone had responded that to diable UOP's (what does that actually stand for?) User Operator Panel is my wild guess.

I looked up the code although still haven't a clue what the alarm means.
-
Ive got a totally different alarm now when attempting AUTO mode again. SYST 034 HOLD Signal from SOP/UOP is lost?
-
Not that I can see no. I do a FCTN>Abort all prior to running in Auto. So after I hit the Abort all I click into the program Im wanting to run so it is displayed on the teach pendant. Then I turn the pendant off, close safety gate/clear safety curtain, turn machine to AUTO, have STEP off and Weld ON & proceed to push Cycle Start from the main panel. Robot was also in its safe home position.

If I get any different results or find a solution Ill update this topic. Hoping to figure it out sooner rather than later. Thanks anyways though!

In any other ordinary position, that "position" option is available although in a call program where there is no number to highlight or the UF or UT...there is no option for detail. Ive only got the "choice" you see in this picture.
-
I can step thru the whole program no problem start to finish in manual mode yes. I haven't taught any programs using any other userframe number. Im not sure how to even use a different userframe number as I was only shown to use "0". How can I look to see if there is a mismatch in userframe numbers?
-
And my program pointer "@" was at the safehomelng.
-
My mistake on the STEP....I did not have that enabled when trying to run in AUTO. Just the weld was enabled. My key is forsure in AUTO, pendant is OFF, safety curtains are cleared, and program I am wanting to run is present on the pendant. I have the userframe first thing in the program. Is this not the correct way to use it? Because this is the only userframe Ive ever used on any program so Im confused why my error would read incorrect userframe number? Ill attach a snip of my screen.
Thanks!

Hey there, ive been using my teach pendant and in the cell with the robot watching it weld for a while so today I created a simple program and had tried to put the robot in AUTO to see it weld on its own without me holding the deadman for once...This is a fanuc Arcmate 100ic robot with a Lincoln R350 powerwave welder. The robot only has 1 welding cell and 1 loading cell so its hooked up by hydraulic to spin on a turntable. After loading the part to be welded, ensuring robot was in home position, closing safety gate/reseting faults & safety curtain, switching machine to AUTO, turning teach pendant OFF, doing an "Abort All' to clear edited program, turning STEP & WELD to green (so enabling them), have the program I am wanting to run on the teach pendant screen, & pushing my green "cycle start" button. Nothing happens. No fault. no nothing. Its like the button has no power to it. This happened several times....One occasion I ended up getting a fault and this is what the fault was...INTP-213 Robot Fault, & SYST-034 HOLD signal from SOP/UOP is lost, & INTP 252 Userframe # mismatch. Can anyone explain what these faults mean? also any suggestions on how I can get this machine to weld in AUTO mode would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks!

Hey just an update: Welding with the robot stationary and the chuck spinning the pipe; where I had gotten confused was "circular motion" but even though Im welding pipe....its not actually circular. It worked awesome for me to plug in the teach points as I spun the chuck and just used regular Linear point for the weld. After this I had tried to add a weave in and was getting inconsistent not horizontal with the pipe weave patterns so I played around with the weave parameter settings....I was able to solve this next issue from another post I had made, a guy on here had some great advise to go to the weave settings and change my option to tool instead of "tool & path". After changing that setting I am able to weld a horizontal weave pattern perfectly along the seam of the pipe. Thanks everyone!
-
Got this figured out thank you. I've changed my weld starts & stops to FINE and CNT100 for the middle points as I am welding and not wanting the robot to do any pause in motion. Doing a test run I am getting a fault saying MOTN 197 CRC Collinear which stops my welding process all together. Anyone know why this would be?

Hey everyone! Im using a Fanuc Arcmate 100ic robot and trying to teach a circular motion around the pipe. This is the example of my program:
L P[18] WELD_SPEED CNT100
:Weld Start (4,1)
C P[19]
P[20] WELD_SPEED CNT 100
C P[21]
P[22] WELD_SPEED CNT100
:Weld end (4,1)Im getting an error maying motion 136: Circular points too close.
What am I doing wrong here? -
I spoke too soon, after creating a series of weave schedules...one of the weave sine schedules had my settings as followed...
1. Frequency-2.0 Hz
2. Amplitude-6.5 mm
3. Right Dwell-0.500 mm
4. Left Dwell-0.500 mm
5. L Pattern Angle: 0
6. Elevation: 0
7. Azimuth: 90 deg.
8. Centre Rise: 0 mm
9. Radius: 0 mm
robot mask group: 1, *, * (1 is my robot and the next * is my chuck which the pipe is fixed to)As my Group 2 chuck spins, I have set my welder to a 45 deg angle with the pipe and have it welding downhands. So robot stays in one spot and chuck spins pipe. This weave setting for one of my fill passes had worked awesome for my previous pipe and now trying to use the program again and getting a completely altered weave although I had not changed any setting in that weave schedule from the previous time using it.
1.L p[70] 125 in/min CNT100
:Tool_Offset PR[41]
2.L p[70] 125 in/min CNT 100 weld Start [2,3]
3.Weave sine [3]
4.L p[71] 125 in/min CNT 100 weld end [2,3]
5.Weave End
6.L p[71] 125 in/min CNT 100
:Tool_Offset PR[41]When jumping robot back to point 70 and beginning the weld....it seems to perform some type of weave. Then letting go of the deadman, reactivating deadman and resuming....my robot with do a different weave. So then I will jump back up to step 1 to restart from the beginning and find the robot will perform a whole other direction of weave. Why if I keep my perameters the same in schedule 3, and have not changed any other info in the program for this weld....why am I getting an inconsistent weave?

Hey, Im new to the fanuc robot world and trying weave with the robot on a vgroove pipe while a chuck spins the pipe. Im looking to get a horizontal weave although when adjusting the azimuth, elevation & L pattern angle....I am getting inconsistent results and none of which are giving me a horizontal fill pass. What am I missing here?
