Robotstudio 6.01: Loading new configuration files.

JOEHOE

Since the update of Robotstudio 6.01 if you manually load a configuration file (EIO.CFG) then the old one is not deleted first.

The message says: If duplicated parameters are found they will be updated.

When the file is successfully updated, old deleted parameters are still active!

 

Even when the robot is restarted with an "i-Start" you first have to delete some parameters before you can load a configuration file.

 

If an Ethernet/IP anybus is used, you first have to delete the existing bus before you can load a new EIO.CFG file.

The fault 80001: Too many Ethernet/IP Anybus internal devices comes up.

Description

There are too many Ethernet/IP Anybus internal devices defined.

Maximum number of internal devices is one.

I do not have found a new way to define virtual signals on the old "Virtual Bus" so they can appear on the tab: "Virtual"

Now I define them with no selected bus selected and are added to the I/O tab but not to the "Virtual" tab

Best regards,

Hello Joehoe,

When you load a configuration parameter file you have the option to delete existing parameters before loading the file, see attached snapshot. This choice was previously default, but has changed in 6.01. The reason is that it is safer to not to have the 'Delete' option as default. Your choice will be remembered within the current RobotStudio session.

I hope this solves your problem.

Kind regards,

Henrik

Henrik,

Yes is solves my problem, thanks alot!

I still have no awnser on my other question.

Hello Joehoe,

The Virtual node of the I/O System view is obsolete for RobotWare 6 and later and will be removed with RobotStudio 6.01.01 for RobotWare 6-systems. (RobotStudio 6.01.01 is planned for release by end of June). As described in the Migration Checklist, the virtual bus/unit is no longer supported. Instead there is an instance attribute named "-Simulated" that should be used for Network and Device. To create a simulated signal to use for offline programming you no longer need to specify a device/unit, see snapshot below

The resulting signal will end up directly under the I/O System root node

There are substantial changes to the I/O system made in RobotWare 6.0 and 6.01 and this is one of them. The migration guide gives an overview of the changes made. You can find it in the Add-Ins tab in the menu Migrate RobotWare -> Migration Checklist.

Kind regards,

Henrik
