I have read that post and understand what you are doing there, I'm just worried the process is a little repetitive and time consuming for the average person, who will be low on patience already after a robot "failure" (dead batteries and not the actual robot). The issue that we have is the J2 and J3 axis don't have a great place for a scribed line for a new "0" reference and I am trying to avoid additional hardware for a marker. These robots are spread all over so I will not be able to personally get to each one.

It was somewhat useful. I am trying to establish a method for quick mastering the robot (after BZAL) in conditions where the robot cannot go to the witness marks and without additional hardware.

So after jogging the robot around some and watching this number, I am assuming that SPC_count is at 0 when on the marker pulse where the pulse count was established at initial power-up or after batter loss. I suspect this because SPC_count is at 0 several rotations away from where the actually 0 point is, and pretty close to where I remember jogging it after battery failure to re-establish the pulse count.

I am doing some digging on another issue we are having and I am curious if there is a parameter or some readout for distance to marker pulse of the ecncoder or even how to identify the marker pulse without using a scope.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this for the robot? -
Well when the fanuc tech comes they reinstall the image to get the robot running again. That is their solution as well.

They fail to start, something is corrupting them. Only way to get them to work again is to reload the image backup. In some cases, we were unable to make an image backup on some robots due to an older board and we were stuck doing a complete reinstallation.

I was really hoping someone could help with this. Out of nearly 30 robots, there are several that are constantly needing to be restored. Has anyone ran into this problem before?

Thank you and yes I was asking about periodically restoring the image. I am certain I read a post where someone said they just went ahead and restored the image to their robots on a certain schedule to try and avoid downtime. I was really hoping to find this, as we are having issues with needing to restore images fairly often and I would like to find more information about this.
Thanks again.

I read a post somewhere and now I can't seem to find it, where someone said they where preventatively restoring the backup image to their robots on a regular basis. I would like more information on this, we seem to be having a problem with robots needing to be restored and hurting production. If anyone has any information on this can you please let me know. Thanks
