  1. I am trying to teach a new user frame. I am going through the 3 point procedure. I teach the 3 points, they say recorded as I enter each and when I record the 3 one it says "used". This is exactly what the book says. I then do the "move to" for each taught point and the robot goes to those points. When I select this taught user plain, the robot does not use this frame.I'm at a loss. I have the new user frame selected and it shows it as selected it just keeps using the original. But the 3 points are correct because when I do the move to, the robot does move to the correct points.
  2. Can someone help me with some sample code on how to do the following with a CTC 2600xm controller with 2219-2 servo cards. I have two servo motors. One we will call "cam" and the other we will call "wire". They will be used to manufacture parts. The "cam" contiunously spins and a given rpm. Every revolution produced a part. The "wire" has to do a trapezodial move within one "cam" revolution. The wire amount and speed need to be changeable. For example we might need 10 wire revs per the one cam rev. for a certain part and the next part we do might only have 7 revs per one cam rev. It would be nice to be able to select when in the "cam" rotation the "wire" starts and the accel and deccel would have to adjust to maintain the trapezodial integrity. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  3. I'm using virtual box, xp and the keyspan usb to serial. So far everything I tried is working. Thanks for all the help
  4. I got vm virtual box running xp with the keyspan usa-19hs. Its works with the ctc but I'm not having any luck with the Keyence.
  5. I need help with this problem. We have a lot of older PLC's running that only have serial comm ports. I have a new laptop the is a 64 bit machine running win7 and has no serial comm port. Also many or all of the applications will only run on a 32 bit machine. So I guess there are 3 issues to my problem. 32-64 bit, win7 and no serial comm port. Most of our plcs are CTC(control technology corp.), Keyence, some ab micrologics 1000's and a couple of others. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated.
