It worked!

Thank you very much, now everything is as it should be.

Thank you for explanation but I still have a problem.

I setted up new limits, and it looks like it doesn't work. I wanna try to see what happen if I would cross the limit so I gave J6 limits -30 to 30, but when I start to jog nothing happened - I moved this joint over 180 degrees without any fault information. What am I doing wrong?

great, thanks!
One more question:
What happen if I will change J1 limits on really small values for example on -40 lower and 40 degrees upper, and after that I will reach this limit? Does any info appears, or I will just get the SRVO-046 OVC alarm??

Oh you're right guys I know that the limits should be different, but I am not the person who setted it up. I think that it was the factory settings.
We have 6 axes robot Fanuc LR Mate 200iC - I found in datasheet information about motion ranges, but I want to be sure - if there is information that J1 motion range (degrees) is 340 I should set on TP lower limit -170 and the upper limit 170, am I right?

Is there a possibility to set up pop up screen, which would inform user that he is going to approach the limit before the robot cross the limit and stop with this alarm?

Hello,
I want to know what should be axes limits to be sure, that robot won't get in any inappropriate position.
Last time I was jogging and suddenly the robot stopped without any information about approaching the limit and weird error appeared at TP - SRVO-046 OVC alarm (Group: 1 Axis: 5). After few hours I managed to fix it, but it was more luck than skills, and I don't want it to repeat. Now the limits on each axis are lower -360 deg and upper 360 deg.
Can someone help me with this issue?

Hi,
I need to know, what are the numbers of communication protocols in backup, for example - profibus, or profinet, which protocols I must have to use socket messaging, is socket messaging 636 enough or I need also User Socket MSG option??

Yes, the PLC supports profinet, but I can't find any manual which can explain how to set and gain this communication.

The robot is Fanuc LR Mate 200iC with R30iA controller, and the PLC is Siemens Simatic S7-1500.
I've read about socket messaging but I don't understand it honestly. What is the easiest way to set/reset robots I/O from PLC?

Hello,
Is there any free program that provides possibility of setting robot I/O from PC or PLC??

In the I/O menu we have range 109-120 DI and DO assigned to rack 34 so as I guess - they are flags
Except that we have also 81-88 DI/DO assigned to rack 48 - address mapped I/O for LR Mate Peripheral connectors
HMI panel - Simatic TP700 comfort

Hi,
I'm an amateur in robot programming, and I have totally no idea how or if it is even possible, but there is an issue I have to handle:
We have a Fanuc Robot with controller R30 iA which is connected to s7-1500 Siemens PLC via ethernet, and we have some DI and DO declared but I was asked to make connection between robot and PLC via TCP/IP, because thanks to that we won't be limited to this few DI and DO, and we'll have a lot of available not physical registers which can be used in robot control.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how can I solve this, so if somebody here know where can I find any information about making this kind of connection (some book, website, forum) or had similar problem as mine please - can you explain me how can I do this?

As I said - I'm a total amateur so it would be nice if someone explained it to me step by step.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks for your help guys, but there is a little problem.
Firstly, can I show the current position on the HMI panel, and if yes - how can I do this?
We have only 6 DI available so if I understand you correctly I'm able to do movement only in 3 axes, so - is there any other way to achieve this movement control with only 6 DI?

Sorry for not specifying the movement.
I would like to create 12 buttons on my HMI similar to these on teach pendant and use it in the same way as on TP World mode and show the current position on HMI.

Hi guys,
I'm an amatour in robots programming, because I don't have many chances to work with it at my university, but:
We have a fanuc robot, and Siemens PLC with HMI panel, and I was wondering if it is possible to controll robot moves from HMI panel buttons and send informations about current position from robot to PLC. We don't have any software for the robot like roboguide so I can only use teach pendant.
If you know if it is possible, and know how to solve this I would be grateful for your help.
