  • Advice Please! Looking to Buy Low Cost working robot & controller in the US. Any Opinions on Brands?

    Adept/Omron is the biggest pile of xxxx i´ve ever seen.

    Manipulator is more or less OK, except the fact that after the robot took a hit in 10% speed and second axis reduction gear was gone (scara robot). Also spare parts are extremely pricy, whole robot was f.e. 1000 euro and 1 gear reduction was around 900 euro as spare part. Thieves.

    Slow communication(ethernet ip), newer robots (they announced them 6 months ago) are fine they have ethercat now, no predefined external signals (start, stop, etc) - for education no problem perhaps.

    Software is extremely buggy ACE 3.8.x, ACE 4.3.x, and nothing is better.

  • Roboguide with Ethernet GigE Camera Basler

    Hello there.

    SW- Roboguide ver.9 rev.H

    Virtual HW - Controler : R30iB Mate v8.30P/48

    Manipulator: LR Mate 200iD

    Options - J901 - iRVision 2DV

    R697 - iRVision GiGe Camera

    Physical HW - GigE Ethernet Camera - Basler 2040-25gm

    - GigE Ethernet Camera - Basler 1300-30gc

    I am trying to connect virtual controler in roboguide with GigE Camera through ethernet with no luck.

    Pc and camera are connected to switch. All devices are on same network and subnetwork (192.168.11.xxx, 255.255.255.0)

    I can ping camera, and connect to camera with pylon software without problem.

    But when I open camera setup in virtual pendant I dont see any camera.

    Fanuc support told me that ethernet cameras dont cooperate with Roboguide, but i found a topic on this forum, about this connection which is claiming that this cooperation is possible.

    Can someone share experiences with me ?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Using ethernet camera with Roboguide

    Quick question, what type of Basler Camera did you use? And what version of virtual controler it was?

    I am trying to connect ethernet GigE Camera: "Basler 2040-25gm, Basler 1300-30gc" with no luck.

    Fanuc support in my country told me that ethernet cameras won´t work with roboguide....

    thank you

  • Fanuc S420 RO connection

    if you set RDO1 = 1 you should get 24V between 1 and 8. RDO2 = 1 than you should get 24V between 2 and 8, RDO3=1 than you should get 24V between 3 and 8 etc.

    Than there is RDO7 = 1 you should get 24V between 21 and 8, and RDO8=1 you should get 24V between 22 and 8.

  • KUKA INTERRUPTS

    Not an expert, but my guess is that you declared interrupt in same Program where you used it.

    Interrupt should be declared in program level above like

    Prog structure:

    Main () (here you declare interrupt) >>> Test() here you can trigger your interrupt >>> IRSTOPM()

    Hope I am not misinforming you...

  • Extreme slow movement after controller boot up.

    Good Morning everyone,

    KUKA:

    Robot: KUKA KR 10 R1100-2

    Controller: KRC4

    Firmware version: v.8.5.7

    Workvisual version: 6.0

    Profinet: KRC 4 Profinet 4.1

    Option Packages: Diagnosis Safetyy v3.0.0

    SafeOperations 3.4.6

    KUKA PROFINET MS (V4.1.2)

    Higher Level PLC:

    Siemens:

    TIA Portal: V13 sp2

    CPU: 315F-2PN/DP

    Fail-Safe DI-modules: F-DI 24x24 VDC HF

    Fail-Safe DO-modules: F-DO 8x24 VDC 2A HF

    DO32*DC24V/0,5A

    DI32*DC24V

    DO16*DC24V/0.5A


    I have simple project consisted of 1 program with 20 camera controls and automatic home initialization implemented, in case customer would like to cancel the process or power drop.

    Every step or point has its value in stored in USINT and for the case of power down stored in PLC, Which is returning this value. Everything is working just fine except power drop case.

    Problem:

    Everytime during initialization, after powering up the controler in EXT, and robot is not in home position, movements are executed extremely slow, until I turn the drives off and on again. i´ve checked every file and couldn´t find any reason why is the speed decreased. Any Idea?

    Thank you guys for your help.

  • KRC4 and Profinet (Siemens PLC) communication setup

    Hi Guys, i am solving kinda similar problem right now.

    KUKA:

    Robot: KUKA KR 10 R1100-2

    Controller: KRC4

    Firmware version: v.8.5.7

    Workvisual version: 6.0

    Profinet: KRC 4 Profinet 4.1

    Option Packages: Diagnosis Safetyy v3.0.0

    SafeOperations 3.4.6

    KUKA PROFINET S (V4.1.2)*

    *KUKA PROFINET S (V4.1.2) - in the original project which was in robot controler there was KUKA PROFINET MS (V4.1.2) but when i downloaded option packages from controler it downloaded KUKA PROFINET S (V4.1.2) so i delete the MS version and replaced it with only S version

    Siemens:

    TIA Portal: V13 sp2

    CPU: 315F-2PN/DP

    Fail-Safe DI-modules: F-DI 24x24 VDC HF

    Fail-Safe DO-modules: F-DO 8x24 VDC 2A HF

    DO32*DC24V/0,5A

    DI32*DC24V

    DO16*DC24V/0.5A

    So i setted up communication between plc and robot via profinet without problem.

    Tested communication between plc and robots with safety inputs and outputs and i had no problem.

    But now i need to send and receive common inputs and outputs of profinet in order to use automatic external and i cannot send or receive bits to or from plc .

    I mapped some of the common inputs of profinet to digital inputs of krc and nothing .

    Can I monitor pofinet communication in workvisual ? just to acknowledge there is no problem in remapping?

    Isn´t there some problem in devices setting?
