Is there a way to force the I/F Panel to permit mode by default?

Oh that is awesome. Makes is so much easier to send that info.

Is it possible to send a Timer variable through to the PLC?

Well after a few weeks we can't get any help what so ever from Motoman. Kawasaki however sent us a robot and came out to help setup the Canon with their robot and took them two days to figure it out and get it working. I think Kawasaki's are an absolute nightmare to program but their customer service blows Motoman out of the water.

I know they will but they need the cad data to do it.

Yeah like HVAC because he need to route the cables through the ceiling from another room. Motoman told us that they are not rated for that but it's ok now because we're told that they don't need to be.

Thanks Spiddy

Kwakisaki,

Thank you that clears up a lot of confusion.

What is the startup procedure that enables screen shots on the pendant?

My apologizes

Its a RS007L and the harness was already installed from the factory. Here are a couple pictures to help.

The wiring harness that comes out of the arm on joint 4. We have a gripper that we want to control using that harness and were wondering if we can wire it directly from the harness to the gripper. I am a little confused looking at the book that shows the diagram.

Does anyone know if any of the manipulator or pendant cables are plenum rated?

We are brand new to the Kawasaki world and need a little help setting up a gripper using the harness coming out of the arm. Are the wires coming out of the arm pre defined?

We have been able to get the robot to trigger the camera and receive data for the User Frame coordinates. I'm still getting a couple alarms that are not listed in the books but they are sending someone over to help resolve those issues. I will try and share that information here to help others that are trying to setup a vision system using the Canon setup.

We are using a YRC1000 with the HC10. As soon as the robot tries to execute line 18 that turns on OT#241 it faults.

I don't know if anyone has worked with the Canon 3D Bin Picking system before but we are having a few issues getting started. We have the Canon side setup and now are trying to get the robot setup. We keep running into errors that are not listed in the book. The first one is Motoplus Error 24 and the other is Motoplus Error 27. Does anyone know what those are and the solution to fixing them?

We just got a demo unit HC10 and need to set it up with a gripper. The issue is were not sure what to do with the cables that are coming out through the T-axis. Are we suppose to hack everything off or shove it back through the arm?

Well on the newer ones with FSU they took away the Get tool option. Its fine Ill just set it to when its fully loaded.

Yeah that seems to work better but anytime I click the measure button it closes out the program. IDK Motoman has some work to do with their software but going by the attitude ive gotten from them they will never fix the issues.

This may be a dumb question but is there a proper way to change payload on a Motoman? I know with Fanuc you can change the payload of a tool during the program is there something similar with Motoman?
