Did you have any luck? I'm trying to setup a couple Fanuc S-420i robots with R-J2 controller so that I can send program files from my computer to the robot. I will try this as I believe you can send program files through kfloppy from what I have read.. If anyone else has any more info Re the controller end settings that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello, I would appreciate any help you could give me, I'm dealing with a rj2 controller, trying to load the motion package from files on my laptop running on windows 10 to the controller using an adapter cable serial to usb, what I understand is that I need to run Dosbox and then to call the kfloppy program, my question is this do I need to change the pinout on this cable to the same as 9 to 25 pin cable configuration you posted here?
Fanuc Kfloppy 1
Get the robot controller (RJ2) to talk to a computer via cable RS232C. Fanuc says I need to purchase their Kfloppy software to do this. Is this true? Will the open source ware kde kfloppy do the same? Or can I speak to the computer via serial communication (ie Putty or hyper terminal).Is there anyway to avoid giving Fanuc more money?
Hi guys, I've figured out the issue. The PCU card was bought on eBay, and was missing some RAM and CPU sticks. It needs to be full. Basically was missing parts. After I've installed the missing part I was able to do a Init by pressing user1 and user2 on the box and do the a clear CMOS and reload the software via kfloppy.
FnA Robot Guy (Fanuc and Abb robot Guru) RE: learing to program a fanuc robot BobM3 (Mechanical)(OP)13 Nov 06 16:06I'm running version 2.22P Rev A. I got ahold of a Karel manual and have been able to figure out most of what I need at this point. My problem now is that I want to use an editor on the PC to create the .kl programs and then download them to the controller. I can't figure out the format specifiers for the OPEN, READ and WRITE commands to be able to send and receive files throught the RS232 port. I can get stuff out the port but its just a few bytes and doesn't seem to be from the file I'm trying to send. Do you have any experience doing this? The Fanuc guy in technical service at first said I needed OLPC and then he said I needed KFloppy. He's making it sound like you can't send a file throught the RS232 but the manual seems to say you can. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot FnArObOtGuY (Computer)12 Dec 06 09:46I have been working on this as well. Here is some source code for sending strings through the serial port, although I wrote this for an RJ2, V5.22. I think it should work though...PROGRAM ggg%COMMENT = 'Serial Test 6'VAR file_var :FILE text :STRING[8] a_num :INTEGERBEGIN -- serial test 6 -- Force User Screen FORCE_SPMENU(tp_panel, SPI_TPUSER, 1) -- Clear User Screen WRITE TPDISPLAY(cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,cr,'Opening Serial Port',cr) -- Open serial port on User Operator Pannel -- ------------- set to READ and WRITE -- V V----- set to serial port on User Operator Panel OPEN FILE file_var('RW','P2:') -- Status messages text = 'test' a_num = 930 -- Write text to serial port WRITE file_var ('test',cr) -- Close serial port on User Operator Pannel CLOSE FILE file_var -- Write message on User Screen WRITE TPDISPLAY('TASK COMPLETED :)',cr) END ggg FnA Robot Guy (Fanuc and Abb robot Guru) RE: learing to program a fanuc robot alainriaud (Electrical)14 Dec 06 04:36As far as I understood, BobM3 wants to download karel programs from his PC. He does need FKloppy. He also needs the OLPC compiler.Then, when he will be able to download programs, he will try your download your RS232 communication program FnArObOtGuY ! RE: learing to program a fanuc robot BobM3 (Mechanical)(OP)14 Dec 06 09:44Kfloppy does what I wanted. I just wanted to use a modern editor to create the programs and then download them. I'm o.k. for now just using the robot to compile the programs. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot FnArObOtGuY (Computer)19 Dec 06 08:02I have an offline compiler for version 2.23, but i dont know how to get it to you... FnA Robot Guy (Fanuc and Abb robot Guru) RE: learing to program a fanuc robot BobM3 (Mechanical)(OP)19 Dec 06 09:51Thanks for the offer. I'm o.k. without it for now. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot fradycat (Electrical)11 Jan 07 02:47Fanucs website has all the documentation for their robots online. It is not so easy to find exactly what you want, but it is out there. you have to register, but it is free and there is a lot of other good info available for robotics and automation users. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot BobM3 (Mechanical)(OP)11 Jan 07 09:50Actually it's not free. You have to be approved to get access. Approval means you have to pay them big bucks to "transfer" ownership of the software to your name. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot dhlang (Automotive)19 Jan 07 18:09I get a same problem at same robot. Any chance I can download or receive some software to make a communication with PC RS232 port to Fanuc RH(2.22 rev A) to make sure it is good. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot ssbn624 (Automotive)3 Apr 07 11:14BobM3 How did you locate KFloppy? RE: learing to program a fanuc robot BobM3 (Mechanical)(OP)3 Apr 07 11:20You can buy KFloppy direct from GEFanuc. I paid $320 for it. RE: learing to program a fanuc robot ssbn624 (Automotive)3 Apr 07 11:21How did you locate KFloppy? I want to use an editor on the PC to create the .kl programs and then download them to the controller also RE: learing to program a fanuc robot chriskei (Electrical)10 Apr 07 17:24Hello,I have a used RJ controller that I purchased. I have a copy of the KFloppy software as well as an image of the SpotTool software for the controller. I am trying to load the SpotTool software using the BMON prompts and I cannot get the load process started. Do you have the steps to get the RJ controller connected to the laptop to load the image of the program?Thanks,FnArObOtGuY (Computer) 19 Dec 06 8:02 I have an offline compiler for version 2.23, but i dont know how to get it to you... googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030293255-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.
