Weld path not being recorded on S4C

nezzreth

I am using the latest RS to program for my older S4C controller and trying to use AWC for multipass welds. My problem is that when I go to replay the path with an offset, the controller tells me that a path has not been recorded. I tried blocking welding/tracking, then I tried letting it weld in hopes that it would record the path. Still nothing. I am using a small program to test this on a piece of angle iron until I get it working. Can anyone see an obvious mistake that I am making?

TL;DR Weld path not recording

Does the weld 'SeamName' need to be added to the ArcL instructions? (optional argument)

nezzreth

I had tried it that way also. Same result of the path not being recorded.

The specific error I get when trying to use ArcLRep is:

Warning!

An error has occurred...

No path in memory

Is there any chance that a path will not record if a light curtain is tripped? 

sturner

Its been a while since I stored and replayed a weld path in S4C+ / AWC... didn't it save the path to floppy disc and then read from the disk to replay? or was that a very early version that did that?

Code generated in IRC5 controllers won't use that method of storing the path.
