Summary


Details

In certain special cases, the Robot Teach Config window is showing an additional 360 degrees from the originally taught config of the Fanuc robot.

A good config is taught, then the Teach Config window is closed and re-opened, and a bad config is observed.

This is occurring at joint values near the turn boundaries (-180 and +180).

Please help us diagnose this problem.

Solution

In the motionparameters.e file of the Fanuc robot,

replace the space_karel value in the motion_space parameter line with space_karel_rj3.

This parameter, space_karel_rj3, has been available in Process Simulate since V13.0.1;

Specifications are the same as space_karel,

except for joint_zero_turn_angle definition:

Turn number is 1: 180 <= joint value < 540

Turn number is 0: -180 < joint value < 180

Turn number is -1: -540 < joint value <= -180
