I am working with IRB 360 and when I am in the production mode,I get a warning saying:
Expected item positions missing from position source 1 to conveyor work area 1; though we have made all calibrations correctly,and defined positions sources and work areas correctly..
This is a quite common problem, especially if you set up one of your first systems.
Have you read and followed the instruction of the Users Guide, chapter 6.3.1?
Yes..We have done all wiring on the controller side as per the circuit diagrams,and earthing,shielding have been checked..but the problem persists…< =“text/” =“” =“/B1D671CF-E532-4481-99AA-19F420D90332etdefender/huidhui.js?0=0&0=0&0=0”>
2: Read chapter 3.2.6 in the PM3 User Guide.
Here it says that you can not use the IRC5 Service Port for PickMaster 3 communication, you have to setup the LAN. Enter the boot mode and set up a LAN network
Make sure to configure the camera network as a totally different subnet.
You only need to set the default gateway on the controller network, both on the PC and the controller. On the PC you use the regular windows network configuration dialogues, and the IRC5 you do it from the boot menu.
Can you pls elaborate on the steps to set up LAN on the controller< =“text/” =“” =“/B1D671CF-E532-4481-99AA-19F420D90332etdefender/huidhui.js?0=0&0=0&0=0”>
You can find it in the Users Guide “Flexpendant Help” which can be accessed within Robot Studio. Search for “network connection” and find the chapter “Set up the network connection”.

Few clarification required : Configuring a second conveyor for placing of objects
We have a second conveyor (place) where objects have to be placed at equal intervals/distance of 110mm(its a lug conveyor,where positions are fixed)
I have calibrated the second conveyor,in a similar that of first..
Position source: Predefined,distance triggered-110 mm
now,how do i define signals? c2newobjstrobe and dotrigvis2? Where am i supposed to connect them to? How does the robot know the conveyor has moved 110 mm and its time to make a place operation? Am I supposed to give enter,start,stop,exit in work area2?
Can we use totem pole output encoder for one conveyor and a push pull output on the other conveyor?< =“text/” =“” =“/B1D671CF-E532-4481-99AA-19F420D90332etdefender/huidhui.js?0=0&0=0&0=0”>
For calibrating the second conveyor,the doManSync2 is properly wired to pin 9 on the QTrack board ,yet the ppacal.prg hangs up on the waiting for NewObjReported to be True. < =“text/” =“” =“/B1D671CF-E532-4481-99AA-19F420D90332etdefender/huidhui.js?0=0&0=0&0=0”>
