I'm currently having the same Issue, I cannot find any location that would let me load an FTP backup.

Quoted from andreic on another post but maybe when you did the restore some logging settings got changed? Sometimes I have issues with things like this if there is no specified folder on the drive to save to. I've not really messed with image logging myself so these are just some generic ideas.

"MENU=>iRVision-> Vision Config -> Enable logging and Log Path.

After that on your vision process you must enable logging for failed images."

Yes, my current log path is MP1:/logs2, which is a folder that exists on the flash drive, and is empty. The enable logging box is checked.

Still curious, as I have not solved this issue yet.

I’ve got a robot which was restored from a backup which was taken this morning, and it will not log vision images or processes.

I’ve tried multiple things, but the errors I am getting are pretty nonsensical, and not relevant. For example, with a 16 GB microcenter flash drive (fat32), the robot will give two errors when I try to log images: CVIS-130 (no free space) and CMND-018 (invalid device or path). I can see why CMND-018 is thrown; The USB information does not pop-up when it is plugged in to the pendant, but the CVIS-130 makes no sense- the drive is freshly formatted. The next thing I tried is creating a smaller partition table; OI heard that there are sometimes troubles associated with large USB disks. We reduced the partition size down to 8GB, and it gave the same two errors. Next we tried a new flash drive; a SanDisk 32gb Cruzer, again in FAT. I thought This would work because FANUC usually ships the software options in a SanDisk, AND it had worked previously, but I was wrong. This time, we only got the CVIS-130 error, so that is better. I checked the partitions of the controller, and they mostly had enough free memory available to facilitate images (FR has 59MB free, RD has 0.128MB free, and TD has 49MB free), so I didn’t think this was a storage image issue. I've even tried formatting a 3.5GB partition as FAT16, which did not work.

On startup I get the following alarms: FILE-071 (USB device info. In this case it’s vend 0000 prod 000), and FILE-069 right after (Ready to use USB).

How can I get this to correctly log images?

Hello, I'm trying to do a file restore from a controlled start. The files were taken from a robot, loaded into ROBOGUIDE, modified, and then are being placed onto the real robot. This means that I need to perform both a backup and restore of the files. I back up the files using FTP, and I restore them using a controlled start RESTOR -> All of the above function. All goes well, and when I'm done, it says 5 files weren't restored, which I think is fine, and must be some sort of artifact of grabbing from FTP. When I restart, however, none of the changes that I made in roboguide have been transferred over to the robot, which is strange. I have a hunch it had something to do with roboguide modifying certain files along the way, but I'm not too sure.

Is there any way that I can see which files were excluded in the restor function to test my hypothesis?

anyone? my kittens are getting mighty sad

Let's say I have a bunch of kittens on my conveyor line.

Because I'm a decent person, I want to make a robot to pet these kittens. Trouble is, they're on a moving conveyor.
Luckily, they're line- tracked, and the position is stored in a position register PR[k]. I have a pre-defined path that I want the robot to use to pet these cats as efficiently as possible (let's say PR[1-40]. It's a very complex technique).

How do I convolude the path of the kitten and the path of the petting motion to get a series of well-pet kittens?

You can use more than one teach pendant by visiting the web page for it (Teach pendants are actually web servers run on Internet explorer, go figure) Usually , this will be something akin to localhost:8080.

Hello! I'm attempting to setup a visual tracking program in which it's critical that the camera be horizontal to the ground plane. I'm doing this in ROBOGUIDE, and I'm trying to set a ref Pos in my tracking program. Whenever I do this, I get an error: CVIS-224 (Camera isn't overhead). It's imperative that the camera is mounted from the side, however, and so I need to get around this. How does one set up a line tracking program in ROBOGUIDE with a horizontal camera?

I have a part in roboguide that will be making arbitrary movement along an axis, and I'd like to implement a line tracking system for operations to be applied to said part based on where it is.

My setup is as follows: The part is a machine with many moving parts. The machine itself is moved via a link motor inducing linear actuation based on a robot DO register. This is the movement I'd like to track as an encoder. This will be implemented into an IRPick application later on.

How do I put an "encoder" on this motor for the robot to use as an actual encoder?

Quote from Witty

"Move to must be shifted" has notihng to do with changing your robot's location in the workcell. Simply press the Shift key, and after that, press the "MoveTo" key.

Whenever I have shift pressed and I click moveTo, it tells me to press enter, and then brings me to a re-naming screen where I can alter the the robot's name.

Hello, I accidentally bumped my robot out of place in roboguide, and now whenever I try to get a robot to move to one of it's position registers (which is in fact in reach), I get the error "Move to must be shifted". How do I resolve this error and get the robot to move normally again?

Hello!
I know that using the KConVars, one can compile a memory to be sent from roboguide to an actual robot, but how does one export (or decompile) memory / registers and their comments, and convert that to a .csv from a roboguide program?

Alright, this error appears nowhere else I can find, so here's the solution that worked for me: you must shut down the TP Controller, and then close out of roboguide. After doing so, restart roboguide and if necessary, turn off the TP controller again, after doing so, delete the first camera, and re-create it. Plug it into the controller port as before, and you should be able to once again calibrate the camera without the error.
Hope this helps someone!

Hello, I'm having some trouble setting up my first vision simulation. I've done some searching, but I simply cannot figure out what this error means. When I try to execute the "Generate Camera Data" command, I get the error "Failure to generate camera setup CVIS-722 The camera specified cannot be found" (pic). This is after setting up the camera to connect to port 1 of my robot controller and executing a cold boot (pic) I'm not sure what else to try at this point, is there something in the teach pendant I have to enable for vision connectivity?

Thanks for the reply!

I've got the box checked, however it's greyed out, and checked... Still no trace line. See Screenshot of the window after running the TP program.

Hello,
I'm in Roboguide, and I have a TP routine set up in HandlingPRO, but I want the simulation to draw the path of the tool of the robot as it moves. If I remember right, this can be done, and the default line is pink with orientation makers every so often.
I cannot remember if this was in handlingPRO or another sim software. I'm not picky, and can use all of the integrator suite tools.

How do I make this path appear? Currently no path is drawn as the robot moves.

Amazing! the mouse shall cower in my robot's path!

Let's say I'm making a robot to protect a slice of cheese on the ground. This cheese is sought after by a mouse, who will endlessly peruse the cheese. but because I Don't have the time to always watch my cheese, I've employed my SR-6iA robot with a Boot-o-matic as my EOAT. My system has an external mouse detector 3000, which gives me the X-Y coordinates of all mice within reach (in mm, as seen from overhead) and sends them to my robot, where the robot then applies said boot-o-matic on the mouse.
Let's say for the sake of simplicity, that the X coordinate is in R[1] and the Y is in R[2]. Because the Boot-o-matic is only ever in a single orientation, there is no need to worry about any other position variables.

So, with the X and Y coordinate in hand, how do I move my said robot to the coordinate to apply the boot?

Oh, I'm not actually doing anything specific, I'm just trying to learn the ins and outs of roboguide. Thank you for your answer! Is there any way to check if something called by RUN is still running?
