On the software options screen, also make sure to select at least options R632 - KAREL and R648 - User Socket Messaging.Īfter completing the wizard, you should end up with an empty workcell with just your robot in the middle of it.

When using the wizard, be sure to select the correct Application package, as well as the correct robot type.


We'll use Fanuc Roboguide for this.įirst, create a new workcell in Roboguide, either by using the wizard or by creating a copy from your actual robot controller. For an installation from source, continue with the next section.īefore the ROS-Industrial programs can be transferred to the robot controller, they need to be compiled into binaries.

If you've chosen to perform an installation using the precompiled binaries, please proceed to the Binary Install section.

Refer to the relevant documentation for instructions on how to configure networking on a Fanuc industrial robot controller. Verify you can ping the controller from your ROS pc. Make sure your controller has a correctly configured and working network setup. In all cases, the following software options should be present on your robot in addition to basic networking and TCP/IP support:

This may be the case if the target controller runs an incompatible version of the KAREL runtime, if it cannot support access to KAREL Vars or if there is a requirement to use customised driver code. If it is not possible to use the provided binaries, a source install is the only option. After choosing a compatible version, only a small number of files have to be copied to the controller. In general, a binary install is recommended, as it is much faster and less involved (note: there are currently no KAREL binaries available for the Indigo version of the driver, thus a source install is always necessary for that version). There are two options for installation: from source or using a set of precompiled binaries. Due to the lower resolution of legacy pendants, many key sequences need either an additional NEXT inserted, or (sub)menus should be opened using TYPE. For users with older (legacy) pendants, this may mean that key sequences given in the text, screenshots and menus will not match completely. For help on installing ROS-Industrial in general, please see the ROS-Industrial installation pages.įinally: this tutorial assumes the use of an iPendant. Note that these tutorials only cover the installation and setup of those programs of the fanuc_driver package that are supposed to run on the controller. For a binary install, the copy destination is the virtual controller instead of the real one. For a source install, the only difference is in the Copying the Binaries step: Roboguide automatically loads the binaries onto the virtual robot controller as part of the build process, so no additional action is needed. After installation, the programs and controller will need to be configured, which will be described in the next tutorial (see the Next section).Īll of the steps outlined in this tutorial can be used for setting up a real controller as well as a simulated one in Roboguide. This tutorial guides you through all the steps necessary to install the ROS-Industrial programs onto a Fanuc Robotics controller.
