Don’t know if this suits your application but I’ve used the Wrist joint modifier on linear moves to pass close to singularity before.

Anyone had any success booting to a browser screen on startup using a Tablet TP? I can get the above method working on standard TP but not on the tablet.

Go into IO - TYPE - UOP - Change to UI - Config. Change the rack to 34 slot 1 and start to which flag you want to use.

I tried this method before and when I tried to turn on a UOP through the web page it tried to write a 1 into it rather then turn it on or off
Just had a look at ours. We pulse a flag from the HMi. The UI is mapped to this flag.

We use this UOP start method using a browser page. You should be able to switch or pulse the UOPs with the browser page. Remember to set the programme you want to run in the $SHELL_WRK.$CUST_NAME (which I think is in the detail of program start method)

I’ve done this in the past. I restored the backup onto Roboguide and then just viewed the PR values in there. Only helpful if you’ve got access to Roboguide obviously.

Problem sorted. It was assigned to a reference position. Thanks everyone.

UI and UO all mapped to flags. Interconnect screen is all set to disable. How do I check mapping of internal statuses?

Hi everyone
Started work again on our M10iD/12 again after a bit of a break last week and when I was testing the IO (machine to robot on a machine tending cell) I found there was 1 DO I could not turn on. I don’t think we’ve ever used this output before as we’ve always used a mock-up machine up to now. I have stopped all BG programs and stopped the PMC but still no change.
My question is what else can be holding this DO off? I can obviously re assign the output but it’s annoying me! 🤣

Thanks very much Nation. That worked a treat.

Morning Guys,
We’re just setting up a Proface HMi to talk to R-30iB Mate plus controller. Finally we’re having some success after a lot of trying but we have a problem. We are only able to set DI on and off if they are simulated. And in turn we are not able to switch on UI at all.
Any ideas what we are doing wrong? 🤔

I know you said no new options, but...
Proface HMIs plus the SNPX protocol (which Fanuc calls Basic HMI) worked pretty well for me in the past. We outfitted an entire plant in that maner. No plcs involved. It was great.
You can access virtually everything in the robot, from the active alarm, to the current position, to all IO and data registers.
Hi Nation
Me and my colleague are trying to do exactly this at the moment. We are not at all experienced in Ethernet IO so are feeling our way through. We have been working on this a lot but have so far been unable to even achieve a connection with the HMi. Do you have any settings you could share for the Proface set up? Everyone seems to have different ideas. Our feeling is that it shouldn’t be this difficult 🤯😂
Thanks in advance.

Just checked the order and it just says ethernet IP option. We do also have PMC option.

Hi everyone. Long time observer here but now I'm starting work on a project I would like to ask peoples opinions on this subject.
I have a Fanuc M10-iD robot which we are going to be using for a machine tending application. We have specced it with ethernet Ip (on Fanucs advice). We have a machine tool that has 24V hardwire IO. Fanuc assure us that communicating between the two should be very simple. They have suggested a Wago module. I was wondering if people have any thoughts on the simplest way to go about this? We do not need any HMi at this time so it is purely communicating IO signals.
Many thanks in advance.
I have learnt so much in the last few months from this forum. It is a great source of information!
