We are moving the headstock and tailstock positioner closer to the robot. I know I can move these pieces mechanically within the cell to get correct distance, but I’m concerned about the userframe not matching up. We are going to do the calibration routine on the actual robot to make it right. How do I do this on RobotStudio? How can I cascade it to the virtual cell?
Do you have the virtual cell with all components in RobotStudio? If you are calibrating the real CPU, your Data will be updated in the robot backup. Upload your backup to RobotStudio then your new setups will come together…
I have a Pack and Go that contains all the system components and virtual controller. So that’s why I wondered if loading a full backup from the real controller would make things weird, or if I could just load a specific data file to address this?
The base frame data is stored in the motion configuration file (moc.cfg), under the single type. Open if from the syspar folder in the backup in any test editor.
You can copy the data from the real controller into the virtual controller manually or load the whole configuration file.
RobotStudio should pick up there is a difference and ask if you want to update the position using the virtual controller values.
There is also the motion configuration window, F1 when the window is open for help.

I normally prefer loading the full back up into the cell (without deleting the previous robot) then you can simply detach EOAT and attach to the new one, copy world position etc. if you have Station Logic built, then you have to re-connect the signals etc (that is painfull if using many connections). in this case, Id go as @graemepaulin told you copying MOC files (I also prefer copying manually into the back folder). Please make sure to store backups in case you mess up files =)

Great information @Graeme_Paulin and @Saito I appreciate the help.
Turns out on this current system there is no obSTN1 userframe because the positioner is not tied mechanically to the robot controller. It’s PLC controlled.
HOWEVER, with this information provided I can use this on other systems we have. So thank you both.
