Disconnect the X305 connector before storing the controller to increase the lifetime of the batteries. However, it is very likely that the batteries have to be replaced after one year. But you'll see when you power on the KR C4 again.

If required you can also reduce the default value for the minimum distance for DB.

The fix was simple. It was in a controlled start and it needed to be switched to a cold start.
Oh wow, the most obvious and simplest solution... Never thought about that in this case. Although, performing a cold start should always be the starting point of a "good" troubleshooting
I clicked NEXT as well but didn't see STATUS. Oh well, since I think the other information I provided helped.
Being in controlled start mode also explains this.
I was able to job but now I'm getting an MOTN-049 Attempt to move w/o calibrated. Any idea how this could happen?
Do you only have the MOTN-049 alarm? Did you check the alarm log for any other alarms (e.g. SRVO-038, SRVO-075, etc.)?
If there is only MOTN-049 then set the system variable $MASTER_ENB to 1 and also check if $DMR_GRP[1].$MASTER_DONE is TRUE. Select MENU > 0 - NEXT > SYSTEM > Master/Cal. Select CALIBRATE > Yes and finally click DONE. Jog the robot to its zero position (all witness marks should be aligned). Open the position window and verify if the values of all axes is 0.

FANUC requested I take a backup and send them the information. Once I get a procedure from them, I'll go ahead and send them a backup. Otherwise, I'm not sure what other next steps I can do at this point.
I guess that would be best in this case. It would be nice if you can share any update regarding this topic.

Hello
The manuals from fanuc does not have instructions how to configure wago profinet i/o
only have instructions how to connect fanuc robot with siemens plc via profinet.
Where can i find instructions/tutorial how to add wago profinet i/o ?
Thanks.
You could ask FANUC tech support if they have an example or tutorial for WAGO. However, the basic steps for the integration are the same as for Siemens devices.

So since they are relay module potential-free outputs , i wouldn't require any extra relay or a contactor to connect them to the PLC ?
Option1: Connect the fence outputs to the Pilz input module and the Pilz output module to the EAS terminals of the robot controller. Of course, this requires some logic in your safety PLC.
Or just the direct connection and the robot controller will automatically monitor these inputs?
Option 2: Connect the fence directly to the EAS terminals of the robot controller. If the outputs of your safety device (for the fence) are potential-free it is no problem. If the safety device is using OSSDs you probably need relays inbetween.
Also could anyone please tell me how EAS and EES inputs work under the robot controller? Like will I have to code them in the robot controller end or in the safety plc end?
You just have to connect EAS and EES. After that, you need to test and verify the proper function of the safety functions.

The PLC that we are considering purchasing is Pilz PSSu PLC1 FS SN SD with Output and Input cards PSSU E F 2DOR 8 and PSSU E F 4 DI.
So if I am going to hardwire it, the best choice that I think to wire the output of the safety plc to the robot controller is through a relay, as in to protect the safety plc from any kind of short circuit.
The PSSu E F 2DOR 8 is a relay module with potential-free outputs. Therefore, you can directly connect the outputs of the module to the EAS terminals of the robot controller.

I clicked Menu in the Navigate iPendant screen but I did not have a STATUS option.
STATUS is on the second MENU page. For this, click MENU > 0 - NEXT > STATUS.
iRProgrammer J767
Thanks for providing the summary file. The iRProgrammer is still on your system.
I'm not aware of any variable or procedure to hide the iRProgrammer (icon). What Browser do you use to access the robot web server? Google Chrome (from V31) and Internet Explorer 11 are recommend and supported.
Did you already try to update the software as suggested by FANUC?
-
FANUC support recommended I update to 9.30p/31, but I'm unsure if that will provide iRProgrammer.
I'm not sure if this will fix the problem. But you could try it. As always, make a full backup (Image and AoA) before.
-
Open your Navigate iPendant and select MENU > STATUS > Version ID. You can also create an AoA backup (from the Navigate iPendant) and open the SUMMARY.DG or ORDERFIL.DAT file with a text editor and check the installed options.
I would recommend to check the options in the SUMMARY.DG file because the order file and the delivery sheet often shows option bundles and it is not always clear what is behind them in detail.

@Admins: Could somebody of you move this thread to the FANUC forum section?

We are also using Ethernet/IP but that is to control certain parameters like the ENable and other signals from an HMI and also to run certain programs. The ethernet connection is done with a different PLC.
Some things are not yet clear to me at the moment. What brand is this "different PLC"? Is it a also a safety PLC?
Is your robot connected to the other PLC via EtherNet/IP? Is the robot already controlled by the other PLC?
The PLC that we are considering purchasing is Pilz PSSu PLC1 FS SN SD with Output and Input cards PSSU E F 2DOR 8 and PSSU E F 4 DI.
As far as I know the Pilz PSSu only supports SafetyNET p for safety-related communication.
So should I control the robot controller signals through Ethernet/IP?
Or should I like hardwire a relay to the output module of the safety PLC and then that relay will further be connected to the robot controller signals?
Are you still talking about the safety signals?! If yes, the Pilz PSSu is also not supporting CIP Safety which would be required for safety-rated communication when using EtherNet/IP. That means, you need to use hardwired signals. See also my other post.
PostRE: Interfacing of the Safety PLC to the Robot Controller
Welcome to the forum! As SkyeFire already said, we need to know which robot brand (controller type and software version would also be helpful) you are using. Based on the designation of the fence terminals I suspect it is a FANUC. Is your safety PLC a PNOZmulti 2? Am I right with my assumptions?
If yes, the PNOZmulti 2 is not supporting CIP Safety. That means, for the safety signals (such as external emergency stop or fence) you need to use hardwired signals.DS186September 22, 2023 at 8:09 PM -

Was it possible to use the iRProgrammer before the update? Can you see any other functions in the HMI iPendant screen?
The iRProgrammer is a separate option (J767). Can you connect to the controller without using iRProgrammer, e.g. by using a TP or Remote iPendant? If yes, you should check if the option is still installed on your controller.

Sharing FANUC manuals is not allowed. But you can download the basic operation manual (e.g. B-83284EN/10) yourself.

Could I also upgrade the robot to V7.7?
You can update within the same major rev (V7.x). As always, make a full backup (Image and AoA) before.
-
Does anyone know a manual that describes what these two functions do? I want to attempt to replicate what the functions do, using V7.4. Could I also upgrade the robot to V7.7?
These functions are described in Rev L of the KAREL reference manual (MARRC75KR0709E Rev L).
