Hi
I noticed that there is a weird situation with Fanuc system variables - there is no any complete manual of that (e.g. RE: Is the system variable manual available on the FANUC Customer Portal?).

So, Im looking for system variables for:
- controller current/voltage values

- robot serial number

- moving parameters - current and targer acceleration, speed of TCP nad joints

- position, velocity error - deviation

- lifetimes of robot parts

I looked through a fanuc web-server of robot and found nothing.
Does anybody knows something about these vars?

Hey, now I know how it works. Actually .urp file is a type of zip file and you can open it e.g. via winrar. There is a installation mark with used installation name.

Thank you! I had a similar problem with the simultaneous read where command. I made an application that reads telnet data from a robot and I just want to secure my application if there are more cases like this.

Thanks, do you know where I can find this manual? I googled and went through the forum via search tool and found nothing.

Welcome to the forum...............

Reduce the requirement for the usage of 'where' in your process.

Hey kwakisaki,
in which manual can I find this screen? I searched, but did not find it.

Hello,
using urLogViewer I started to wonder what exactly the timestamp value means here.

Do you perhaps know what it means? Is it the period of time from robot first run? Is it possible to change this value?

massula Do you know if there is a way to connect backup (.urp) file with the used installation? How would I know which one .installation file I should store for particular program?

Thank you!

Hey,
I'm looking for a way to make cyclical UR backup by SCP.
As we know, there are three types of files (urp, txt, script).
I'm wondering if I should store every of these files, or maybe just .urp file is enough?
I will use magic file to upload it again to robot.

well, there is a project for python communication with controller.

If I remember well you would need motoplus. But for that, what you are talking about there is a software called "robot manager". That can give you all the information and also some information about the program.

Hey ljuba, where I can find this project?

Hey
I'm a newbie to Yaskawa robots and this environment, but I will work on this robot's mark so I am collecting data.

I want to prepare a Python script to read data (only read, I don't want to control robot) from robot, such as current position, robot status, chosen program etc. I've found an information that there is an Ethernet Server and High-Speed Ethernet Server. So I have a couple of questions:

- is this paid option?

- is this available for every controller (DX200, YRC1000, FS100)

- is this option configured to work by default?
- if not, can I do it by myself, or will a service visit be required?

- do you have any code examples of this type communication?

- are there any free options to download this data? I thought about any industrial protocol (MODBUS, EIP, Profibus) but I'm not sure I any of them are standard?

Thank you!

Thank you! SAVE command looks like what I need. What "non-critical information" means?

Hey guys!

I've seen inthe Kawasaki documentation commands to save files viatelnet. I am thinking of preparing a script ( in python or sth) to do regular backup (e.g. 1 per day) for my robots. I will be working with E and F controllers. Currently I only have KROSET simulator. There are SAVE commands in AS documentation, but to use them I have to add name of the program I want to save, as in the screenshot.
But, what if I don't know which program is "main" program? What name I should enter on this command? I tested on KROSET and KRTERM simple "SAVE test" and it saves a file "test" but I'm not sure if there is everything. I wonder if this file is enough to recover whole project?

Or should I use SAVE/P, read the program names on the controller and download every one of them by SAVE file_name = received_name1, received_name2...,

Once I have, I will try to calculate a checksum of the file to check if anything has changed in project, and then overwrite the stored file.

Has anybody done something like this?

Hey Dks, have you found something about it?

Hey!

I've noticed that not in every Kawasaki robot Data Storage option (AUX->LOG FUNCTION) is available. Is this dependent on the robot or controller type? Or maybe it's a paid option?

Yes, I meant about safety activation. Thank you, I've found it

Hey
I'm preparing communication through telnet with Kawasaki robots. One thing I'm wondering, actually I haven't found anything in the documentation.
Is there any global / system variable that states about safety circuit in robot? E.g. when I push an emergency stop button. I know that when there is an error, it's just a variable called "ERROR" and I can use PRINT ERROR, but unfortunately, safety issue doesn't cause any error. Have you heard about variable connected with safety statuses (emergency, fence, etc.) that I could just print?

Yes, I think I know the difference but I wonder if it is possible to e.g. trigger through telnet (maybe there is a particular command for that, like there is WEIGHT command for setting payload) saving file (e.g. oplogs, errorlogs) to configured before FTP server. Anybody?

Hi ,

Any one used KAWASAKI life-Time calculation sheet?

We are trying to use it for RD-80N robot but we can't find RD-80N in the calculation sheet list .

Any suggestion ?

Hey SAQER, can you share with this sheet?
