Internet Explorer 11 Normal font size (96 DPI). Port 3002 should not be used for other purpose. ROBOGUIDE can use IP address 127.0.0.1. When RIPE is used, ROBOGUIDE can use IP address 127.0.0.n (n>=1). Computer name must be A-Z, a-z, 0-9 or '-'. Other Virtual PC, VMWare and similar software are not supported. Windows XP Mode of Windows 7 is not supported. Remote desktop is not supported. Windows RT is not supported. Comma decimal separator is not supported. You cannot use Guest account for ROBOGUIDE. Touch panel operation is not supported. 3. Pre-Installation Notes Full Administrator Privileges ----------------------------- FANUC uses InstallShield? technology which requires the software installer to have full administrator privileges on the machine where the software is being installed. Please contact your Information Systems Department for assistance if you do not have full administrator privileges or are unsure if you have full administrator privileges. Please use "Run as administrator" shortcut menu for run setup.exe. Using ROBOGUIDE with an Internet Firewall ----------------------------------------- Most PC systems make use of a firewall to prevent unauthorized internet users from accessing your private PC network. All Windows versions have built-in firewalls, or your PC may use a firewall provided by a 3rd party such as Symantec or McAfee. ROBOGUIDE uses a FANUC Robotics virtual robot which communicates with other programs via a network protocol. Therefore, some programs that ROBOGUIDE installs, must be added to the firewall in order for ROBOGUIDE to work properly. The ROBOGUIDE installation automatically adds these programs to the Windows firewall. If your PC is using a third party firewall program, you must add these programs manually. You should contact your IT Administrator, or consult the 3rd party software documentation regarding allowing programs access to the firewall. The following programs must be allowed network access: C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\ROBOGUIDE\bin\RGCore.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Robot Server\frrobot.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Off Line\FRVRC\frvirtual.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC\Shared\Robot Server\frrobotneighborhood.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Shared\Utilities\FRLicenseManager.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\FANUC" is the default installation directory. Please use the path you specified if you changed the default setting. Workcell Compatibility ---------------------- New enhancements and capabilities are continually being added with each release of ROBOGUIDE and to support these changes its workcell data structure is changing, which makes the newer workcells incompatible with prior versions of ROBOGUIDE. Therefore, FANUC recommends you always make backups of existing workcells prior to installing any newer version of ROBOGUIDE. Your laptop PC might have graphic tip for OpenGL (for example, NVIDIA Quadro) but the tip is not selected. In this case, you need to select the tip manually instead of automatic tip selection. OpenGL Compatibility -------------------- FANUC has identified problems with specific video cards. ROBOGUIDE uses OpenGL as the basis for graphics operations so depending on how well your video card supports OpenGL you may need to update its software driver or possible reduce or disable its hardware acceleration for proper operation of ROBOGUIDE AVI captures and in extreme cases for basic operations. ROBOGUIDE Cycle Time Accuracy ----------------------------- ROBOGUIDE reports accurate motion cycle time and cannot accurately predict cycle time results for programs containing instructions other than motion and wait instructions. 4. Installing ROBOGUIDE on Windows 8.1 or later A prerequisite for the installation of ROBOGUIDE is the .NET 3.5 framework. The framework is considered to be a Windows feature in Windows 8.1 versions, and therefore installed by the operating system. To install the .NET 3.5 framework in Control panel, please open "Programs/Turn Windows features on or off" and enable .NET 3.5 framework. To install the .NET 3.5 framework with the Windows 8.1 disk, go to the Windows start screen and right click on any open space, selecting "All apps" on the menu at the bottom of the screen. On the Apps screen find the "Windows System" group and right click on "Command Prompt". Select "Run as administrator". In the command prompt window, type in the following: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs where "d" is the DVD drive that contains the Windows disk When the installation of the .NET 3.5 framework is complete, close the command prompt window and restart the ROBOGUIDE setup to complete the ROBOGUIDE installation. Note: Touch Panel operation is not supported. * If the ROBOGUIDE installer fails immediately on Windows 8.1, please install the .NET 3.5 framework prior to running the installer. 5. ROBOGUIDE Features * A fully integrated environment with graphical UIF components to simplify the robot cell teaching process * Process Navigator. * Extensive workcell tutorials * Extensive Help for procedures of how to operate the software * Sample workcells * A full 3D world environment: with zooming, panning, and rotation. * Robot jogging: with an end of arm drag and drop teach tool and traditional teach pendant style jogging. * Single robot workcells: many robots supported - Work envelope view * Workcell Modeling: support: - IGES CAD import - Primitive shapes: spheres, rectangles, and cylinders * Workcell Library - CAD Library of basic CAD models - Ability to add your own images to the library * Create multi group and multi axis machines - Easily create machines that are driven by robot controller motors. Motors can be extended axes or multi group defined controller configurations * Program Teaching - Create basic TPP Programs - Teach TPP positions by jogging the robot, manual entry, or by clicking on objects in the cell - Supports automatic teaching of MH PICK and PLACE positions - Motion statement, wait statement support - Single running program support. Multiple running program support later. - Open / Close Hand view setup - Open / Close Hand instructions that enable ...
