6/4/18 FANUC Technician On-Site visit

  • Emergency Stop wasn't working when running LABVIEW_COM on teaching pendant
    • We added the command
      • $MCR_GRP[1].$machinelock=1 ;
    • to the program because there was a lot of interference from the Robot servos that we were picking up on the EMG signals from Yuni's experiment. However, this disables the E-Stop. When I called Fanuc to troubleshoot the E-Stop issue, they told me there was no way to disable the E-Stop in software and we needed a technician to replace the E-Stop board. They were wrong! So, we took $machinelock=1 line out of the program and the E-Stop started working again. We'll have to shield our circuits in the future if we need to do something like this again.

Recalibrate

  • Keyswitch in T1, Teaching Pendant in On
  • Coord Mode until Joint is selected
  • Move all 6 joints 30 degrees and then back 30 degrees and then line up the registration marks (photos below)
    • Joint 4 doesn't have a mark - just line it up flush - make sure the words are in the up position
    • Joint 6 doesn't have a mark - just line up horizontally with the words down.
