Robtarget names must be unique in RAPID even if they are LOCAL

RobotStudio requires that robtarget names are unique for the RAPID synchronization to work properly,

i.e. you cannot have a global robtarget named pMyTarget1 in module A and a local robtarget with the

same name in Module B.

Global robtargets cannot be made local through Synchronization to VC

Global robtargets cannot be changed to local through Synchronization to VC, the option is disabled

(PDD 3140).

Workaround: Change the robtargets to module local in the RAPID Editor and Synchronize to station.

Error Message: Sync. to Station completed with errors

Error Message: Sync to Station completed with errors: New data name type has same name as existing

object in same block routine .

When this error message appears, there is a storage type mix-up between data already stored in RS and

in the VC. Because of this, and per design, the data is not considered the same data.

Workaround:

1. Ensure all data declarations have the same definition in RS as in RAPID (there is no user interface

for this).

2. Sync to station should now work.

3. Sync back to controller, and remember to change the data declarations back to what you want.

Paint

The new conveyor tracking module DSQC2000 is not supported for paint robots.

Lack of Virtual Controller support for the Paint systems

Paint systems that are configured using the Paint package I/O option Discrete, Compact or Fieldbus,

will result in a SysFail state.

Workaround: Re-create the system with the simulated I/O option.

*Display of working range optimized for furthest reach

The current algorithm uses a fixed value for joint five which gives the furthest reach for a given tool. The

sweep is not optimized to get the shortest reach on the "inside" of the working area.
