target/path editing from "sync to station"(V5.11)

ravi.k

I am having trouble with targets and paths populating the virtual world, when I try to "synchronize to station" of a program from the floor.

With the older versions (5.10) when I synchronize to station it would automatically create targets in the "workobject and targets" area of the task. All I see in the new version are paths with no instructions in them although it seems to run from virtual controller OK. This does not provide me with options to edit the path from simulation.

 

Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Do you get any error or warning message in the Output window when you have synchronized?

If you use "non standard" move instructions you need to setup templates for these instructions in the "Instruction Template Manager".

I did not get any errors or warning messages synchronizing to station, the robot motion from the virtual controller is fine. I had changed most of the motions to be MoveL and MoveJ statements and did not see any nonstandard instructions.

 

I just created a copy of the system from template and tried to synchronize the path into the virtual world. However, I do not see any tooldata or workobject data populating in the simulation world like it shows on the virtual pendant.

That was strange. If you mail me a Pack & Go of the station, I can take a look.

Anders,

I was able to see the warning message I missed earlier that robtargets have to be defined as global and not local. Is there a way I can define the system to accept local robtargets so I can synchronize it to the station?
