Help - TCP-Robot not defined.

RobotStudio
1

Greetings all,

I am currently tasked with updating some points within an existing robot program. I have created a new station with Robot Studio 5.15.02 with the intention of creating and confirming the new points within Robot Studio prior to updating the robot’s program. I have successfully restored the robot program from the robot cell to the virtual controller, and have synchronized the created station with data from the virtual controller. I am able to see all the tool data, work objects, and paths defined in the project on the virtual controller and in RobotStudio.

Now this is where my error occurs. Upon running the program on the virtual controller i receive an error stating ‘The instruction ConfJ is only available if there is a TCP-robot defined in the program task’ (please see image for full error message). Running the ‘GetSysInfo’ command on the virtual controller returns “-” so it looks like the robot type is not TCP-Robot.

Can someone please provide more insight as to what this error means, and possibly provide some details regarding what is entailed to rectify the issue.

Thanks in advanced.

Will

How did you create your virtual controller?

  • Go Offline
  • From backup
  • manually by your self

If you created it manually use the go offline function (need to be connected to the real controller)

What kind of system is it?

Did you add any new instructions, or are you using MultiMove? According to the manual, both ConfL and ConfJ can only be executed in the main task T_ROB1 (or Motion tasks in MultiMove), so it’s probable that you are trying to use this instruction in a task where it’s not supposed to be.
