  • Not showing all procedures

    Hi,

    I have an ABB robot (IRB6650S 125/3.5 RW6.12.3010) with a lot of procedures.

    The problem is that that they don't all show upp when I try to edit them with the teach ("PP vers routine", sorry for the french). I can see 71 procedures but it should be like 5 more of them. And of course, the one I need to touch up isn't visible.

    Does anyone have an idea where I should start troubleshoot?

  • open an ABB RobotWare 5.61 backup

    Hi,

    I have a robot with RobotWare 5.61.04 and I would like to open a backup from it in RobotStudio 2024.2.1. However this particular RW version is not available under the Add-in tab.

    I'm sure this is a well known an solved problem. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to get this to work?

    Thanks !

  • IRC 6700

    Quote from Skooter

    I also vote for a mistype by the the person creating the label. The next (or previous) label was for the controller that could have an IRC5 back in 2017. This appears to be a one-off as any series changes would have had marketing or bulletins show up in a search.

    The meaning of IRB/IRC was pondered in forum thread IRB STANDS FOR WHAT IN IRB 360 ?? a few years ago.

    Thanks for the link. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the IRC5.

    I got an answer from my contact in ABB (sales engineer). He thinks it just an error in the etiquette but he have lifted the question. I'll let you guys know when I get an answer.

    Probably a fat finger typo.

    That what I think too. Cause the robot looks like an IRB 6700 and that is what we're supposed to have bough. If I could connect to it I would know for sure.

    Well, nothing to do. I'll take the surprise once it gets deployed.

  • IRC 6700

    Hi,

    I have a robot that is suppose to be an IRB6700-200/2.6 but on it is marked IRC6700-200/2.6. That is, as far as I know, not an existing model. Not a single hit on google either. It has an IRC5 controller.

    Does anyone know if ABB just had a bad batch of etiquettes or if there is a deeper meaning?

  • Can't create a virtual controller

    Hi,


    I have been having this problem for quite some time now. I can not create a virtual controller with RobotWare 6. However RobotWare 7 works fine.

    No error messages or anything. RobotStudio just quit when I try. The last message I get before RS shuts down is (sorry for the french) :
    Création du système de commande virtuel.

    I can open old projects just fine.

    I'm currently running
    Windows 10 PRO
    and
       RobotStudio 2023.3 (64 bits)
    Version 23.3.10550.0

    I have been having this problem for at least a year and since several updates of RS. I'm not sure when it first arrived since I don't work on ABB robots so often. Most of the time I just connect directly to them with my PC (works fine).

    One particularity of my computer is that I'm not admin on it. Company policy Mordac style...

  • Euromap 67 Wiring for Fanuc

    I would also like to know the price.

    I always get the Euromap67 topbox option. But we get it included in the price of the robot.

    There is nothing technically complicated in there. Just a 24I/16O module, a power supply, a few relays, a security relay and terminal blocks.

    The inputs/outputs are declared but you still need to do all the programming. And you still need the robot to send permissions to close the mold or move the cores pullers when in mode "without robot" (depends on the press what is required).

    Something I got with the latest robots is a preinstalled page where I can see and manipulated the Euromap67 signals.

    If it isn't too expensive, I would take the Euromap67 option if I were you.

  • Configure Modbus/TCP on a SEPRO

    Hi,

    I have a SEPRO 7X-100 XL with Visual3 that I have ordered the modbusTCP option to.

    I'm neither a specialist on modbusTCP or SEPRO so I have asked SEPRO about a configuration guide. But they don't seem to have one.

    Does anyone out there have experience of setting up a modbusTCP connection on a SEPRO or, even better, a configuration guide to share?

  • PROFINET Configuration

    It didn't go so well... My device has a GSDML with revision 2.32 and is not recognized by PROFINET Configurator ( stops at 2.31!! ).

    Do you know any other program that could create the configuration file? TIA Portal?

  • PROFINET Configuration

    That kind human being was a technician from ABB 4 years ago before I was working there. He didn't leave any .bcp file. I guess I'll have to redo it from scratch.

    One last question. Is it always possible to go back to the old PROFINET config by loading the old IPPNIO.XML or do I need to restore the system from a back-up?

  • PROFINET Configuration

    Thanks !

    You just saved my day !

    It wasn't in the 6.13 bundle but I found it in 6.05.

    A follow up question. I'm worried about breaking the current configuration. I suppose I need to import the current ippnio.xml into the PROFINET configurator and add my device ? Do you know where I can find a user guide? I don't have time to play around and I would like to get it right from the beginning.

    Thanks again !

  • PROFINET Configuration

    Hi,

    I have a robot IRB6650 with an IRC5 robotware 6.06. The robot has the option 888-2 PROFINET Controller/Device and has a CI502 bus module with a DX581 profisafe module.

    I need to add a PROFINET device to it. Neither working with ABB robots nor configuring PROFINET is something I do everyday. When looking at the I/O Configurator in RobotStudio it looks straight forward to do. However, in the Application manual, PROFINET Controller/Device, 3HAC065546-001 it is written that the I/O configuration can not be used with my version of RobotWare.

    For RobotWare 6.08and previous, to be able to configure the PROFINET controller,
    an external PROFINET configuration tool is needed. There are two different versions
    available: PROFINET-IO Configurator Express and PROFINET-IO Configurator
    Professional. Supplied in the RobotWare distribution package is the Express
    version.

    I can not find any PROFINET-IO configurator. Nowhere!

    The robot is in full time production on another site and to have access to it is hard. I need to be sure to not mess anything up once I start.

    Could someone give me a hint on how to proceed? What software could I use and it would be great with an instruction list.

    EthernetIP and other protocols are a breeze compare to configure PROFINET :loudly_crying_face:
