Well, if Karel is not an option,
Then you will need to have that argument in all your calls. Probably use a negative value when the argument shouldn't exist.

IF AR[1]<>-1, JMP LBL[10] ;
IF AR[1]=1, JMP LBL[100] ;
LBL[10] ;
!Do default stuff...
END ;
LBL[100] ;
!Do other special stuff...
END ;

Yeap! I can't think on something different. I know... It is too bad and I guess Fanuc guys believe that programmers don't need that option using TP programs... As I said in Karel it is possible.

I was thinking of something like this too.

Still not sure I understand what your wanting to do. where you have CALL SUBTEST you need to have a variable for the argument, CALL SUBTEST(1), thats why you are getting that alarm.

Not really sure what your asking.

Oh I didn't even think about the cooling fans Yeah Im pretty sure, they draw the heat out of the control cabinet

Are you asking how do you know if it is phased correctly? I can't remember if it will give you an alarm or not, but if not you can just wire up a small fan to one of your digital outputs, turn it on and make sure it spins the right direction. If not swap 2 of your wires.

Still gonna need more info. Is it a prox switch that looks at something, is it gripper switches, a diode (laser), or what? And does it constantly look at the switch and when it reads or don't read, or is your program only looking for it in certain places in the program? Is your program wrote in TP or karel? You can assign macros to I/O's but they have to be non motion, so if you give us some more info we might be able to help you figure out a different way to go about doing what your trying to do. Like automatically go home when it sees that whatever it is your looking for is wrong.

does the switch stop the robot in the same place every time?

depends on what you mean by "stuck". give some more details

there should be a pass word level for that. fortunately I've never had to assign passwords so I'm not that keen on the different levels of password accessibility .

I've found that Fanuc FA (cnc controls) has alot better service than fanuc robotics. If you call FANUC FA they will usually send someone out next day to help you and bring any spare parts that they may need. Fanuc robotics, not so much

Well I can see where they are coming from by giving their bigger customers discounts and favoring them, because thats what all companies do. you have to hold on to your big customers. but I dont agree with them taking it out on the little guy. because after all, we are their customers as well.

i use back ground logic alot ansd i dont think you would be able to do it with roboguide because it is mixed logic, (non motion). but then again i have never used roboguide i do all of my programming at the TP. I found it very useful to take the place of karel which i hate!!! soo much easier just to open up your BGlogic progrqam and edit it right there at the TP instead of having to compile and recompile... ect

you can change your collision detect to different sensitivities in the program, if that helps
