Program pointer lost

julian

hi

heres another problem.

I constructed a system with a robot and track (attached) and I would like to move the robot along the track. So I drag the base of track and teach a couple of target and got path. When Move along the path implemented, there are two error messages : Unit not active and Program pointer lost .

Anyone knows how to fix it ? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

cheers,

Ok. Problems solved. 'Move along the Path' is working well, but there is always a error ' Program pointer lost' after finishing the path. Whats the problem with it? Could anyone help?

i think thats just because robotstudio resets the program pointer in the virtual controller after it does a simulation. So not a problem to worry about.

How did you solve program pointer lost problem?

The "Program pointer lost" event is a side-effect of the design of the 'move along path' function. When doing 'move along path' RS creates a temporary module with the paths, sets the program pointer to it, executes it, and then removes it. It is the removal step that causes the event 'program pointer lost'. The reason is that the temporary procedure where the program pointer is located is removed.
