You're right config issues are a pain, I've had to find out what is and what isn't on the current set up, a lot of RW installs on top of installs but got there in the end it's just that string of characters that's messing everything up now.. I'll follow the advice though
Using the latest RS atm
Would it work if I get a backup of an irc5 with a irb140 prior to 2009 and extract the drive key of that arm then?
Both panel and robot are 2007, I'm finding it quite difficult to get hold of technical support over the phone, always on hold. It'd be the end of my problems if I could get the drive key for this serial number on my irb140 it's a waiting game 🙂
Dear friends do any of you know where do we get the ABB drive keys for the manipulators as I've got an irb140 arm without its drive keys and can't set it up correctly on the irc5 cabinet?
I've even used a drive key found on a backup from a different irb140 but comes up with an error message "Drive system not supported"
I wish I had a backup with this arm but I bought it without the controller
Thanks in advance
Lemster68, tried using a key string from a backup of another irb140 C on an irc5 controller as well, also tried ABB over the phone (still waiting for them to come back) but this other key string gave me an error on the drive system not supported, not system 9🤦♂️ why does it have to be such pain 🤯
Yes and I feel silly now, somehow we only realise how simple things are after we ask for help 😂 it does make sense now it was controlling a spider robot they have 4 axis.
It's an irb340C
😅 There's always that 😁
Something will have to be done about this, buried too much money on it can't end like this now 😂
It is my understanding that a control module key will bring up the characteristics of a specific robot?
Would I then need to have a key for an irb140 T?
Thanks
Lemster68 thanks for joining, you're right they did not come as a "bundle" I got the arm first and then managed to source the controller and pendant. Now I've come across 1000 different problems only this morning and managed to get through all and overlooked the axis configuration with so much going on. Got the key for the irc5 system luckily found it in an old backup that was stored in memory so wiped everything and installed a new system using the system builder, there was hardware missing, other redundant, typical when you get stuff like this that's been decommissioned from a process the folks just cut through every single cable 🤦♂️ but that key string that was in the backup was for the original 4 axis robot I'm guessing.
I'm just wondering what do I need to do to get axis 5 and 6 included in this system, still wandering through the software but running out of options now
Hi all,
Recently bought an irc5 cabinet which I'm trying to set up and couple with an irb140 T, gone through a few struggles but manage to have it happy however I've just realised that there's no axis 5 and 6 on the controller properties?? Is this something easy enough to set up though robotstudio or flex pendant or is it more of a hardware matter?
Thank in advance
