Just curious, what happens if you teach a UF using 3point method, but the points are not at 90deg angles? (Like teaching the UF in the shape of a “V”

Perfect Thanks!

I was hoping to beable to export all the robot POS Reg to Excel. (Either using excel to parse the data, or writing a VB script)
However when I open POSREG.VR in Notepad++ it looks like the data is encoded. Has anyone figured out the encoding of that file? Or know an easy way to view all PRs?

Working remote, and using a TP with Roboguide, however I grabbed a 30iB TP from the shop, and am trying to use it with a 30iB+ Virtual Controller. I'm positive I've gotten that combination to work before, but the TP will not connect.
Is it possible to update the TP firmware through the USB port?

Your thought process on this is correct.
On the TP program, you have all motion groups masked out, correct?
Are you calling the program, or running the program? I honestly do not do much multitasking (I use BGlogic whenever possible) so I'm not 100% sure, but I believe if you call a program with Ignore Pause from a parent program with a motion group associated and/or Not Ignore Pause, the child program will pause as well.
Not 100% sure, but something to check first.

What you got sound work. What’s your UF?

Soon I’m going to be working remote on several projects, and will be doing most, if not all, of the programming in Roboguide. In the past I’ve only written a few TP programs and just FTP’d those to the physical controller. With these projects I will be doing all the development in Roboguide.
What is the best/easiest way to upload the entire controller? Reg/PRs/IO Config/IO Comments/Sys Config/TP programs.
I seem to remember a few years ago loading a robot backup at Cntr start, but I’m fairly certain I lost mastering doing it that way.

Thanks Mike, really appreciate it.
Do you know what manual it is in? I have acces to the CRC.
Can additional axis only be added at software install? Or can it be done at cntr start?

Greetings, looking for a bit of background info for upcoming project. I have not worked with an Aux axis on a Fanuc before, however an upcoming project has us adding a servo gripper to a 410-185.
A few questions:
All 30ib+ controllers ship with a 6 axis amp, correct? So this aux axis will use channel 5 of the standard amp?
What is the setup process like during software install for adding the aux axis?
How is that axis mastered? What is zero?
With palletizing is it common to have a servo gripper setup as a “7th axis” of group 1 or a separate motion group?If I setup the axis as a separate motion group, and set group 1&2 masks ON in a TP program what motion instructions do I use to just modify the aux axis without modifying robot position? What motion instructions do I use to do coordinated motion with aux axis and robot?

Not 100% sure I follow your logic. How are you going to establish roll with only 2 known positions?
If you have advanced Math option you can do trig, which would help in determining roll, but that would get messy.
-
A small clarification.
Even if already in zero position on power up, each motor needs to be moved before calibration, to establish the encoder reading.Yes 100%
-
Yes, it is called Alternate Infeed. Are you using the TP or a PLC/HMI to select the UnitLoads?
-
I usually have the PLC monitor the Layer/Case count combinations, and once it is correct, initiate a partial pallet change.
Additionally, if the customer always once completed layers, you can have PalletTool only stack upto an XX amount of layers.
If you have access to PalletTool documentation, check Page 5-26 on section: "Changing Layers on the Fly by PLC"
If you are wanting to see at any given time how many layers/cases are on each pallet, let me know, I can send you a Karel program that will read out all that information to Data registers.
-
PalletTool has functionality for performing a partial pallet Index from the PLC.
The stock programs for interfacing with a PLC are a bit convoluted, I have standard ones rewritten to make communications easier.
The PLC tells the robot which pallet position to index, and which unit load to switch over to (or stay the same). The robot will then signal for Pallet index once the current cycle is completed.

Manual States:
Cause: A DRAM failure is detected.
Remedy:Check the other alarms for more information. Replace the CPU card. Replace the main
board.I'd call the CRC, appears to potentially be a hardware failure.
-
Anyone know any Sys Variables that shows Controller or Servo Amp temperatures?
-
I've never used any of these built in programs in HandlingTool, and cannot find them listed in any of my documentation.

Yes that is my backup plan. However then you will not be able to jog with the fence open.

Greetings, is it possible to enable or disable a CPC based on the fence circuit input?
The question stems from a robot that was installed by another integrator that ordered the robot with Stop Category 1 for the fence circuit. However the size of the cell, and location of the access points really requires a CAT0 stop. My hypothesis to apply an easy solution is to create a CPC for the fence perimeter and assign it a power off stop. However I will obviously need to disable that CPC zone based on the fence circuit input.
