The latest version of CCW is 22. There have been a lot of changes. I believe I did the video on v12. Haven't checked if the DEMO/Simulator is still available in the latest Standard edition. Some features may have moved to the (paid) developer edition.

Yes mee too because my protractor is brocken, it's very sad

I'm not sure I understand the question.....one could always plot out the X,Y values for each point in ACAD for a particular radius and arc angle....

Looks like that is a node ID and/or rack size error. You should be able to resolve that with or without the RSNetWorX configuration software. Confirm each Node address on your network and confirm that Rack size in your configuration. Troubleshooting with RSNetWorx and fixing the error will be much simpler.

I don't know how to fix these issues without RSNetWorx. Best to contact RA support.

That's one way to do it. Depending on your software options and skills, there are probably several ways to do it.

Not sure. Never tried RSLogix Emulate.

I have an answer! Nope! haha i just tried this and then realized peter was using a physical PLC however in studio 5000 emulate they will not allow you to add an ethernet drive/slot onto the PLC rack in the emulator atleast not any way that i could find@@PSDettmerMATC

I'll try.....do you have a question on the "C"ircular motion type or Circle "A"rc motion type, or either one to create an arc or a circle?

You may have to update the firmware on the module and/or the Micro PLC unit. Some older modules may not be compatible with PLC.

What is the problem?

You can probably project geometry up to a new plane and then cut (extrude away) the material in the center. Or just create a new sketch, create a circle and cur (extrude ) away the material in the center

You need to create the connections (Drivers) you need on the computer you are using. None exist by default. they do not transfer between computers.

I'm not sure. You'd have to verify that with FANUC based on the specific model and version of the robot controller. I think all the new models support Gigabit communications. The older ones are probably 10/100Mbps. Having integrated vision may provide other speeds.

Agreed. They do offer a class now that covers integration of A-B controllers with FANUC robots. Check their training website.

@@PSDettmerMATC can you teach how to connect with a omron PLC?? and how much for that

@@distorsioname I do not have any OMRON equipment available. I'm sure if you reach out to FANUC or OMRON they will have some support materials available.

Yes, there is sample code available for RSLogix 500 based controllers. Communication settings depend on your protocol (Ethernet IP/ Serial, etc....). You need RSLinx with the DDE/OPC capability. Good luck!

You can get a free 30-day trial from FANUC. You have to contact them directly. Otherwise, you have to purchase it if you are an industry customers. Educational institutions can make it available to students for a small fee.

Thank you, for your time @PSDeremerMATC

Thank you for your time, @PSDetterMATC

Thanks Mike! Handheld recording was all that we had available at the time. Technology has come a long way since then. Appreciate the feedback. Do you think this is still a relevant topic and deserves a new, higher quality video?

I'm not sure. There might be other, built-in support and recovery solutions to fix this error. Best to call Rockwell Automation or your System Integrator for support.

@@PSDettmerMATC I connected and entered the cpu, but I did not find a solution. Is the RS network program available for free or not? Is a malfunctioning I/O a problem with operation?

@@user-rq9wt2zm2f I'm sorry, I do not have any information on that. You'd have to contact your local Rockwell Automation distributor.

Hello Florin, you can use the FULL CRMA assignment that would map every signal to the CRMA 58/59. You can get a I/O mapping document from FANUC for every pin/point. Should be easy to assign it to Rack 48 for mapping to hardwired signals.

@@PSDettmerMATC Thank you for your promt response! I will try tomorrow to do the FULL CRMA assignment so that it enables STYLE/RSR/OTHER program start (simple crma16 doesn`t let me)

@@Florinm21 Excellent. You can find the full mapping and "pin-out" in the manual or call FANUC to send it to you.

@@PSDettmerMATC Solution was working also with simple CRMA 16 mapping! Is very important to declare the " PNS" program in correct base and name them properly, and setting the configuration that you provided in the video it is working perfectly! Thank you again!

Depends on how the NDAEX system is reset. The FANUC robot can be set up to receive a remote RESET signal by turning on UI[5] (if configured as SIMPLE CRMA 16) from the PLC. I suspect that the NADEX system just needs to receive a RESET signal from the PLC DO that it is mapped to.

Not sure. Haven't tried that yet. I'd expect very similar, just a matter of changing the data types?

I'm not sure. As long as you have Ethernet IP communication on the MLX1400 you should be able to configure it. It'll be more difficult to determine the MSG settings and Bit: addresses, but there is probably documentation available from FANUC. Good luck! Let me know how it worked out!

I don't know. I'm sure everything is possible. Communication (exchange of I/O) should be doable. Full control, like jogging the robot or changing from manual to auto would require extensive programming and manipulation of the robot system.

Hello, thanks for your comment. We do not teach SIEMENS. You can probably get support from FANUC for this, as they work with all the major PLC manufacturers.

You are welcome. Glad to hear it helped you!

Sorry, not able to help with that. But I'm sure there are others who created a video on this. It al depends what operating system you have, and what your local computer rights are. Good luck!

Hello Ian, sorry, just discovered these older comments. Fairly certain that you would loose, at least temporarily, communication with the PLC, which can cause a shutdown on up- & downstream equipment, if the Controller communication goes Offline.
