Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help. If you do find success with this, please advise me on how you accomplished it!

Okay, thank you very much! I will give that a try. Do I put the skip condition in the actual program or am I running that like Background logic?

Hello all, I am currently working on a project using 2 Fanuc CR351A Collaborative robots and they are each holding a part in their grippers and inserting one part into the other. If the assembly fails and the parts collide, then the robots will fault out due to the external force being too large. If that occurs, I would like to set up a "recover" program so that the robot retracts from its current position and then places the parts back on the table, or the program can simply reverse completely to take the parts back to the table. I am not sure how to achieve this.

Ok, I will try that and see if that works. I am assuming that I will have to set up multiple user frames for this project because I already have one set for the table where I have to pick the part off of. Then I have to lift the part and display it to the Cognex camera to generate my offsets before assembly. Would that be an issue? I'm afraid that setting one user frame at the table height and then setting a different user frame in the air where I am displaying the parts would ultimately create some sort of internal conflict for the robot...or am I just over-thinking this?

Hello, we are doing a job that has an external (Cognex) camera and it is taking a picture of the part and then supposed to be generating my offsets based on the position of the parts. How do I calibrate the Cognex 3D camera to the Fanuc robot so that I can receive the data? I know how to do it in IRVision but the customer wanted to use the Cognex software instead. Thanks!

Awesome...do I also need to load IO config and the other stuff I saved when I did the backup, or is the COMS.BIN sufficient? Thank you form your help!

Good morning all, I am doing a project that is supposed to be a "copy and paste" of a previous project that we had completed. This new job will be using the same robot and controller (YRC 1000) as the last one. When it comes to establishing communications and installing parameters (Concurrent IO, tool data, etc.) that were already previously set, am I able to just upload the CMOS.BIN that I had on the last one? And if so, do I just plug in the flash drive and press "load" or is it more complicated than that? Thanks!

Good morning, I have 2 Fanuc Collaborative CR35iA robots in our shop. I did the software installation on both of them but one of them is continuing to have issues during programming. I ended up going to the 4D display of the robot and realized that the representation of the robot in the 4D image was not positioned anywhere near what the actual orientation was of the robot. I rechecked the master counts in the robot and on the factory supplied paperwork and it all matched up, so does anyone know what the issue could be? Thanks!

Perfect. Thank you to everyone who responded, I appreciate all of your info. I was able to modify the ladder and have the servo on and the external start configured from there. Thanks again everyone!

Is there any other way to do it? Apparently they didnt purchase the IO card kit so it is just an empty area where the JANCD-ABB02-E label is?

Good morning, I am working with a Yaskawa Motoman YRC 1000 controller currently. When it comes to turning servo power on and starting the process by a push button, am I able to have the external servo on and the external start wired directly to the controller or is all of that something that has to be done through concurrent I/O? As of right now, when we are ready to start the program, I have to turn servo on and press the green start button before the PLC can send the robot into a job, but my concern is that when the light screens are broken, we lose servo power (which we should) but then the operator will have to go restart servo power through the pendant. So we want to eliminate or at least limit the interaction between the operator and the pendant. Everything should be controlled through the HMI.

Everything is communicating through Ethernet/IP and it was all wired by the electrical department here with this company.

My input is lighting up but the job itself wont execute. I can run the job in teach mode with no issues but once i turn it to playback or remote mode, nothing will happen.
-
I believe everything is connected properly. The electricians said that it was all wired to specs so I assume, but i will have him check it again. Could there be anything else?

I am trying to run an adhesive dispensing job on a Yaskawa Motoman robot and for some reason it wont run. It is all just structured text (IF input 35 =ON Then CALL Job 1) but for some reason it wont run. Any ideas why? The servos are on, key switched to remote/ playback, green cycle start lamp lit up...I dont know what could be wrong. Thank you!

I keep getting a runtime error while my robot is running a program. I have a UR3 and it is connected to a cognex camera. It just takes a picture of the part and then the robot picks the part off of the conveyor. But i keep getting a runtime error and the program keeps stopping.
