HawkME is correct, here is a TP program to do cycle time tracking of last 10 parts. I ran the motion program slower every cycle to get a different cycle time value.

   1:  TIMER[1]=START ;
   2:J P[1] 100% FINE    ;
   3:J P[2] 25% FINE    ;
   4:   ;
   5:   ;
   6:  TIMER[1]=STOP ;
   7:  FOR R[11:i]=10 DOWNTO 1 ;
   8:  R[12]=R[11:i]-1    ;
   9:  IF (R[12]=0) THEN ;
  10:  R[12]=TIMER[1]    ;
  11:  R[R[11]]=(R[12]) ;
  12:  ELSE ;
  13:  R[R[11]]=(R[R[12]]) ;
  14:  ENDIF ;
  15:  ENDFOR ;
  16:  TIMER[1]=RESET ;

Ya for sure you can modify the data within a VR. Just make sure to update it for the applicable VR.Here is the code.

$VR[1].$OFFSET.$R=0

Hello, with PalletPRO you have the capability to download the virtual robot's data to a real world robot if you have a Ethernet or serial connection to that real world robot. Also you can upload from real world robot into PalletPRO.

But PMULxxx.VR should be your unit load data file, so loading this file will set the robot up with the configured unit load.

TRIM is your voltage control when doing pulsed welding, 1.0 is usually recommended starting point. The higher the TRIM number the higher the voltage. UltimArc changes the pulse frequency.

If you can move robot I would try and remaster the robot properly, you probably have to take off foam covers to see the witness marks. If you cant move it try and disable DCS, not sure if this will work because I haven't seen that alarm before.

If you want all air moves to be at 50% of programmed speed and welds to be at 100% of programmed speed then set OVERRIDE=100% before the Weld Start point. Then after the Weld End OVERRIDE=50%.

Hello, I am from FANUC background and never used PROFINET. I need to setup ABB robots to communicate with Siemens PLC and FESTO valve-banks. FANUC communicating on Ethernet we just set IP address of robot controller ports to be within range of device, choose adapter or scanner, then populate IP adress of the device, Vendor ID, assembly instances and so on. What are the steps for setting up PROFINET on ABB IRC5?

Try and delete it from the FR:device, I was informed that .stm files are live there.

OK thanks

Hello, I loaded some .stm files onto a robot for GUI/HMI purposes and now I would like to delete those files because I do not want those HMI/GUI's anymore. When I try to delete the .stm files from the MD, it says file is protected. How can I delete these files????????

OK thanks, everything works perfectly now.

Yup windows PC. And I have gone the scripting route. When I copy and paste script into CMD prompt it works perfectly. But when I save as a .bat it stops working as soon as I enter the FTP part of the script. What is a good work around for this? My script runs CMD code, then FTP code then CMD code then it is done.

Yup DIY is the plan, going to try WinSCP. Also I will look into the windows task scheduler.

Hello, what are some of the best ways to automate backups for dozens of Fanuc robots over FTP. The option needs to be free and create new directories on the PC. I currently have a FTP script that backups all the robots but it does not create new directories on the PC with Time & Date stamps. What do you guys recommend for this process?

OK thanks!

I am using the SET_POS_REG built-in to change the positional data of a position register....x,y,z,w,p,r...This is working correctly, but I am also trying to change the configuration and no luck. My question is how do you also change the configuration of a position register with Karel. Can the same built-in be used? Any help is appreciated.
