Fanuc Inspection Post help

cflynt — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 17:03:11 GMT

Hey everyone, I have a SVM4100 with the Fanuc IHMI controller, and I am trying to get the Fanuc Inspection Post to work, but I am having absolutely zero luck ...

I was able to get the post to download, and it does indeed post good code (from what I can tell). I assigned this post to my machine model, and it has settings for machine connector. I'll share a screenshot:

I don't know where to find any of the information that I am supposed to put in the Machine Connector boxes...

Machine Connector IP ?

Machine Connector Port?

Can anyone help with that?

Additionally, under Machine Connection I chose Fanuc Focas, but I need help locating the other information

IP Address: (I put in the address I use for the Data Server, not sure if that is what they are looking for...)

Port Number: ?

Data Buffer: ?

Additionally:

I downloaded machine connector and when i try to launch that program all I get is an error that looks like this:

I have absolutely NO idea what that is supposed to mean....

And lastly,

I looked at the instructions that come with the post on the Fusion download page, and they explain what Macro numbers I need to look for etc. My problem here is none of the macros I can find match any of the numbers they are looking for ..... in fact, the only macros that I can find are in the 500's, and they look like this:

Everything else from 517 onward is 0.00 ???

If somebody could help me with some of these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

You might want to consider getting in touch with https://www.dsi-mfg.com/, they have commissioned a lot of OMI over the years.

Thanks, i will check them out.. Honestly I only have a few days left on my
trial of the Manufacturing extension and as of now it doesn't seem worth
it. I have reached out to Autodesk and DN and pretty much gotten zero
response. For right now, I think I will opt to save my money...

IMO it's worth every cent, irrespective of the inspection toolset.

Where did you reach out to Autodesk? Just on here?

I have reached out to autodesk via e-mail and through the online chat that has "real" people. I was told that my problem had to be elevated to somebody else and they would get back to me. The next day I got an e-mail asking me to make sure that i wasn't using the trial subscription from 2 years ago as that would have locked features which could explain the issue..... I kindly explained that I was using the newest Fusion insider build and YES I was sure it wasn't a trial subscription..... Additionally, I said if they had called, as I requested, we could avoid playing e-mail tag and hopefully fix the issue. I haven't heard from anyone since, and honestly I doubt I will. Maybe when I get a 5 axis machine or a 4th for my mill I'll step up to the additional cost, but right now it just doesn't make sense to throw money out the window.

I'm having the same problem with the connector so I can't help you there. But to you last question. In the macro screen that you have open there in the last picture, press page down on your controller and (if you have Renishaw probing setup on you machine) you should find some numbers that match the pattern described in the post guild. Maybe you already checked, just making sure.

Those are the only macro numbers on my machine, every other number before
that page and after is 0.00 that's why I thought I could be looking in the
wrong place?

So you checked #600 and on?

Yes....all 0.00 the page I posted was the only one with any numbers other
than 0.00. I went fro macro 001 to 900.
