I have the same problem, but not in Roboguide, on the actual robot. We bought some used robots from a GM factory that I'm refurbishing to cut parts for us. Once I fix it, I'll add on here how I fixed it. I believe if you Controlled Start and go to System Config it's on the same page as the Payload and Frames, but I'm about to go double-check. And to add to whatever whoever up there said it ^^^... $DMAURST isn't related to this AT ALL. That variable means instead of having to hold shift and press reset the robot every time you want to manually jog it, just pressing the dead-man in will AUTO-RESET for you so you don't have to press Shift+Reset.

Thank you guys for posting this. At work we just bought 5 R-2000iB/210F originally from a GM factory in Canada. All had the old RJ teach pendant, black and white, couldn't split screen. Luckily I have V7.70 Core for this exact robot. (Please don't ask). I upgraded the OS version to 7.70 on this one robot, bought a newer TP so I could split the screen (color is just a bonus). I did as mentioned above, Controlled Start, Maintenance, Upgrade iPendant software, selected UD1. Took about 25 minutes to finish.
Now the next project.
THANKS!

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to buy five R-2000iB/210F's from a place in Mexico (used) and I'm wondering if anyone knows off-hand what the rough size I'll need for shipping is. Doesn't need to be super-specific, just like "Each will fit on a 4' x 8' skid" kind of estimate.
THANKS IF YOU KNOW!

If your reducer is failing, then I can see why, under pressure to produce, you would disable it TEMPORARILY. It's a horrible idea to leave collision detect off though. A decent sized FANUC (let's say like an R2000iB-165F) can easily punch an EOAT THROUGH a person with no collision detect enabled.
If you still can't move a robot into a certain area/position you probably have a DCS zone interference. DCS or "Dual Check Safety" is the "virtual limitations" box that the FANUC draws in space that it is told it can't operate outside of/inside of (you can set it up with "go" zones and/or "no-go" zones). - It is important to remember that even the back end of the robot is considered during these calculations (like the back of the J2-J3 "elbow" of the robot) and also the EOAT that you have set up in the config menu. To turn DCS off you will need a code and to reboot the robot. If you have one of the newer pendants with the 4D graphics, you can go to the DCS menu and physically see a computer-simulation and see which DCS zone is being violated (it will be red). If you can jog the robot incrementally out of that zone, you will be free to move as normal again.
And to repeat what someone else already said, Col Det set at 100 is the default. 200 is ridiculously sensitive (sudden turns in the program can trip it), and zero will rip aluminum or people apart if it's a big enough robot and you're not careful. If you're experiencing regular collision detect faults, you can adjust this, and I wouldn't increment this any more than 5 or 10, then try running the program. If you still have problems and have to set it less than 80 (which was kind of my made-up limitation line) you should double check your payload and EOAT settings. Your robot might think it's trying to handle 165 KG when it's only handling 20. It will overcompensate the brake curve and brakes, and cause jerking and then collision detect errors. Most FANUC's have an "automatic payload calculator" option, where the robot will do a dance and measure the feedback to the motors during those movements to calculate the EOAT's weight and center of mass automatically.
***IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE DEFAULT PAYLOAD SET BY FANUC IN THE FACTORY IS THAT ROBOT'S MAXIMUM PAYLOAD SETTING - An R2000iB/210F ROBOT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE SET TO 210 KG PAYLOAD BY FANUC WHEN THEY SHIP IT***
