in teach mode you can program the jobs (you have control over the movements)
in play mode the jobs can run automaticly
and in remote mode the jobs can be activated true an external start button or plc or...
Can you give more details about what you are trying to do?
What kind of manipulator is it?
Brand and type of wiring?
The ieseast way is to use a compatible manipulator in combination with a driver from yaskawa
so you could use it as a 7th axis in which case you can control the exact speed ect.
Another possibility is to use a frequency regulator for the manipulator and send out
bit signals to regulate the speed true the robot...
In which you would have a much more controlled environment
But i am no expert in these matters.
Is the manipulator working on its own or is it also controlled with yaskawa as an external axis?
(sorry for the many questions)
Do i understand correctly that the workpiece is on a sort of manipulator that moves and
that the robot needs to follow this?
Is it possible to get a more specific immage of what the job for the robot is?
Is it also possible that this happens directly true a written ladder?

Hello 95devils,
I'm having a simuar issue.
A collegue disconected the cables from the "turnover station" S1
Afther a new start-up the robot asked to check home pos.
I went to robot-second home pos.
changed the page to S1 and put it in order.
pressed data to confirm and it worked.
Howerver, afther this the pendant gave the message to check home pos for R1 aswel.
I went to robot-second home and put everything in order.
When I now pres data there is nothing there so I can't confirm.
Do you have a possible solution for this?
Thank you in advance.
Hello to all.
I was wondering.
I have a welding source connected to the YRC1000.
It give's me information when a welding error occurs. (gas failure, wire failure, voltage failure, ....)
These signals are also available as general inputs and outputs in the YRC1000 to send to an external PLC so that the entire machine knows when there is a problem.
However,
If I program the robot to weld a line from point A to point B I could do the following:
If input.... = on then set output.... = on (check welding errors)
movement lines to point A
arc on command
movement to point B
arc off command
If input.... = on then set output.... = on (check welding errors)
However if I would do it like this, the robot would check the inputs before and afther the weld which is no use.
Can i check an input and send an output during welding (because the robot reads the program line by line).
Hope this make sense 
Here are the other 2
So I gave it a go and the controller doesn't give an error but the programs do not run.
It just goes to END.
I've uploaded a picture of the main job and will upload a picture of the 2 other programs right away.
Thank you guys!
I will give it a go!
Thanks for the quick reply!
I can understand the part between NOP and END.
Could you clarify the above or is this just as an example and not useable data?
Hello All,
I'm trying to run two programs simultaneous.
One with a turn table S1 and one with the robot R1.
The goal is that the (welding) robot goes to it's cleaning station while the turn table gets in position to save time.
I'm using the Pstart command.
the turntable program is made in group S1
the robot program is made in group R1
However, if I make a test program were i put two Pstart commands for either job it does not work.
Nor does it work when I use the Pstart command for one program inside the other program.
Does this have something to do with the sub1, sub2, .... tasks?
Could someone give an example of how to put it in the controller.
(YRC1000)
Thank you all in advance for the help!
Can you start-up in maintenance mode?
Great thanks for the answer!
The reason why, is that I would like the robot to send an output when the running hours reach the
point that maintenance is needed as a reminder.
I know you can look it up but it's just a question 
Are timers sufficient enough for this purpose?
Hello all.
I'm working with a yaskawa YRC 1000.
I was wondering if it is possible to send an output signal when the running hours reach a certain value?
Thanks all in advance 
Another option is to run a simple program before production starts and try to view other jobs while running. I will give it a go myself but it probably won't be before tuersday...
Not that I know of, you can make a backup to usb of the jobs and load them into motosim or open them in notepad to have a quick overview... meanwhile the production can go on as normal.
When you locate the problem you can fix it true the pendant with a minimum of production los...
