Does anyone know how the system ladder can be altered? When I compare the system ladder of one of our robots to the standard general purpose system ladder, ours has a large portion of it relocated to the user ladder section. It also has several relays changed to integrator specific signals.

If I change any mnemonics in notepad, the system section opens fine in LadderEditor32.

When I try to load it into the actual controller however, I get an error for trying to load an illegal system ladder.

SFTON LP002 TF

MOVL LP000 V=80.0 PL=3

Thanks Reintz,

That indeed did the trick for me!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to program a path with an approach of my TCP to several points. I have a double cutting plier mounted with each his own TCP calibration so I want the approach to all points to be the same.

When I convert my individual positions to "TOOL FRAME", I get this error when I try to go to the position:

4508 (2) SPECIFIED ERROR (COORDINATE)

which translates to:

Designation error of the tool coordinate system. This coordinate system cannot be used

Check the following settings. Check the settings for the coordinate system which can be used.

WHILEEXP LB000<=6 
 GETPOS LPX000 STEP#(LB001)
 CNVRT LPX000 LPX000 TF TL#(5)
 GETE LD003 LP000 (3)
 GETE LD001 LP000 (1)
 SET LP001 LP000
 ADD LD001 20000
 ADD LD003 80000
 SETE LP001 (3) LD003
 SETE LP001 (1) LD001 ==> Modifying first approach point
 SET LP002 LP001
 ADD LD003 250000
 SETE LP002 (3) LD003 ==> Modifying second approach point
 MOVL LP001 V=400.00 PL=3 ==> At this point I get the error
 MOVL LP002 V=80.0 PL=3 
 IFTHENEXP LB000=1
         MOVL C00003 V=320.0 DEC=30  
     ELSEIFEXP LB000=2
         MOVL C00004 V=320.0 DEC=30  
     ELSEIFEXP LB000=3
         MOVL C00005 V=320.0 DEC=30  
     ELSEIFEXP LB000=4
         MOVL C00006 V=320.0 DEC=30  
     ELSEIFEXP LB000=5
         MOVL C00007 V=320.0 DEC=30 
     ELSEIFEXP LB000=6
         MOVL C00008 V=320.0 DEC=30 
     ENDIF
.
.
.
INC LB000
INC LB001
ENDWHILE

Does anyone have any idea of why the coordinate system cannot be used and where these settings are located?

EDIT: Or if anyone knows of a better way to accomplish the same... Please share your thoughts.

Many thanks, Jan
