FieldBus Command Interface

tbaumg

Hello,

<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

I am trying to use the FieldBus Command Interface to send explicit messaging commands through RAPID over DeviceNet.  I am following the examples in the Robot Communication and I/O control Application Manual (Pages 33-34).

 

I get an error 40527 (File Access Error), when It gets to the line of code,

Open "FCI1:" File:="/board328", dev Bin

 

Mine is actually defined as:

 

Open "/FCI1:"File:= "/arm_drive", devBin;

 

This explicit messaging code was working on a pre-production IRC5 about 2 years ago, but we haven't needed to use it since.  Now that I am revisiting this technique, I can't get it to work.  I have looked through release notes, but can't seem to find anything noting how this may have changed. We are currently running 5.06.0.0158 RobotWare

 

Has the addressing of the Fieldbus Command Interface changed, since 5.05 Robotware?

 

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Greg

Try with

Open "/FCI1:/" File:="board328", dev Bin

Were you working with the same device in the past? Not all slave devices support explicit messaging.
