It should not be complicated to modify your Fanuc post processor to include COORD for each line. You can find some information about how to modify post processors here:

If you have a RoboDK Professional license you can contact us through Help-Request support and we can help you better.

Hi Albert

I watched a video where RoboDk controls a fanuc robot.
I am thinking if it is possible to use RoboDK as the main interface for working on the robot without touching the teach pendent ... starting the program from the PC, drip feeding editing etc...
I also have problems with the memory in the controller R 30ib plus
I cannot load a large program generated by CAM.
Can you help

Thanks

[Albert]

Yes, you can run programs directly from RoboDK to your Fanuc controller using the driver. You can find more information here:
https://robodk.com/doc/en/Robots-Fanuc.html#DriverFanuc

You can also find a post processor for Fanuc that allows you to automatically split and drip feed long programs in smaller programs. The post processor generates a Python script on the computer that should be executed and will load/unload programs remotely and automatically as the program is executed. This is more suitable for production compared to the driver.

So I am using postprocesor in robodk J3 dripfeed or? My controler is r30ib plus?
I do not understand how does drip feed work.
should I (CTRL F6) send program to robot or?
Please what are the steps?

Thanks

[Albert]

Correct, you should use the Fanuc RJ3 DripFeed post processor to automatically split long programs into subprograms.

You can find more information about this post processor and how to configure it here:

Albert just one confirmatio,i need to start python file  and it will use ethernet to send tp programs?
Whether the process will proceed smoothly?

Thanks again

[Albert]

That's correct, you should run the Python file to start sending the TP programs. You'll see some instructions through the console.

Make sure you have the correct IP address of your robot in Connect-Connect robot.

[Zoran]

Thank you Albert

Just one more question I need help with,
Does drip feed send one TP file, wait for it to execute and then send another one, or is the next TP already in the CMOS of  controller waiting for execution?
so there is no interruption-delay in execution between split tp programs ?
Regards

[Albert]

The drip feeding for Fanuc sends one TP file at a time and adds/removes TP files as the robot executes them. There is a buffer of 2 or 3 TP files for this purpose.

We tested it with older Fanuc controllers that have less than a 2 MB hard drive and it works.
