I just recently started working with RoboDK so I might be missing something here:

I work with a Yaskawa Motoman GA50 with an YRC1000 controler. After creating a test file for the robot I was trying to export the program (.JBI) using the default Motoman post processor but all my position values are 0.

If I use  the Motoman Cartesian post processor it outputs values properly but this this format gives me an syntax error message on my YRC1000. (see attachments)

Is there anything I am missing or could this be a bug in the post processor?
Thanks
Korbi

To properly generate programs for Motoman robot controllers you should properly update the pulses/degree ratio of your robot arm. This is needed to convert the joint values from degrees to pulses.

You can update the pulses/degree ratio by double clicking on the robot and selecting Parameters. You can also do this automatically by loading the ALL.PRM file you can find on your robot controller.

You can find more information here:

If you want to use base, you may want to turn off mframe from the post.
You could go the other way and use only userframe and not base. I would make the userframe (2 in your case) on the robot and not with P values, at least I have never had success doing it this way.
I switch between pulses and userframes all the time depending on the job.

Dear Albert,
Thanks for your reply

I tried to automatically load the ALL.PRM file into RoboDK but i keep getting a python error message (see attachments). It seems like I cannot attach the ALL.PRM here, but I could send it via E-Mail if that would help?

Or would there be alternatives to extract the Pulse/Degree data and all the other relevant info of the GA50 so I can set everything up properly in RoboDK?

thanks for the suport!

If you can share the ALL.PRM file, we can update the pulse/degree data on our end and share the modified robot with you.

I sent the file via Email to info@robodk.com

Please let me know once you had time to take a look at it.

Thanks a lot

Please find the robot attached

[KorbiE]

It works like a charm!

Thanks a lot Sergei for the help!

Following up to my previous question, is it also possible to extract the Pulse/Degree for the Positioner (DF500) from the ALL.PRM file? I found some values for the positioner in the forum but they seem to be slightly off.

I re-sent the ALL.PRM file to the info@robodk email and I'm attaching the current Station template here in the attachments

Thanks again for the help,
Korbi

Unfortunately, it's not possible to read external axes data from the ALL.PRM file.
As an option, you can copy these values from the controller teach pendant.
