Conveyor tracking in a paint system with RS6.02...

Neily03

Wow!  What a mess guys!  I've got 4 different paint systems based on real controllers that run fine in 6.01.  I'm trying to run them in 6.02 and it's just not happening, the work object won't connect, there's a warning about 'conveyor parameters in a paint system not being updated' and there just doesn't seem an obvious way to make it work!!

Has anyone successfully got a paint system with conveyor tracking to work in 6.02??

Oh an where's the 6.02 Paint PowerPac?

No worries

What needs to be done to fix this??

Surely a system that worked fine in 6.01.01 should just work in 6.02??

Right now runnings RS 6.02.01 SP1 and Painting PowerPac 6.02.01.   Could we have some sort of tutorial on how to get conveyor tracking to work from a station saved in 6.01??

I've managed to get the conveyor tracking to work but sometimes it only track 1 object, other times it tracks 2 but never more and I can't see how or why it does this. 

Here's a video:

Still in 6.03 Conveyor tracking doesn't work, the work object never connects......... For all the money we pay for this software this is very poor!!

Ok, we've finally sorted this out! Despite what RS says it doesn't convert the old conveyor to the new type.  We had to delete all traces of the old conveyor from all out stations and then create a new one and manually enter all the data, including conveyor base frame etc and now it finally works.
