Fanuc Kfloppy 1
Oludare Padilla
Get the robot controller (RJ2) to talk to a computer via cable RS232C. Fanuc says I need to purchase their Kfloppy software to do this. Is this true? Will the open source ware kde kfloppy do the same?
Or can I speak to the computer via serial communication (ie Putty or hyper terminal).
Is there anyway to avoid giving Fanuc more money?
Did you have any luck? I'm trying to setup a couple Fanuc S-420i robots with R-J2 controller so that I can send program files from my computer to the robot. I will try this as I believe you can send program files through kfloppy from what I have read.. If anyone else has any more info Re the controller end settings that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello, I would appreciate any help you could give me, I'm dealing with a rj2 controller, trying to load the motion package from files on my laptop running on windows 10 to the controller using an adapter cable serial to usb, what I understand is that I need to run Dosbox and then to call the kfloppy program, my question is this do I need to change the pinout on this cable to the same as 9 to 25 pin cable configuration you posted here?
So I stumbled upon an old fanuc robot, i18 I believe is the model?! With the R2J controller, it has only RS232 port and nothing else, we managed to download programs from the robot with KFLOPPY, but how do we upload programs back to the robot?
Meaning? I havent tried because i havent been around the robot, Menu->Files->Set device->Floppy and that will list the files in the kfloppy directory on the pc and then i just load them, is that how it works?
