5.0.5 adds native support for some Kawasaki robots as well as language support for Japanese.
PLATFORM
New
- Added a Japanese keyboard
Fixes
- System time in the toolbar now matches the reported/set time in System Settings
- Rapid logout/login can no longer cause an empty Home screen
- Certain Help screens were not displaying information, as they returned a “Your file was not found” message
- READY pendant jog buttons would incorrectly jog the robot at the Task Canvas runtime speed (instead of the DCP speed) when TC is the top app
Updates
- READY pendant Stop button stops “Move To” and “Reset Position” commands
- Keyboard buttons for “hide keyboard” and “enter” are blue at all times
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
New
- Kawasaki 6DOF robots: Added support for EO2controller for robot models RS015X, RS030N, RS050N, RS080N
- Kawasaki 6DOF robots: Added support for F60controller for robot models RS003N, RS005L, RS005N, RS006L, RS007L, RS007N, RS010N, RS013N
Fixes
- Removed Denso 6DOF from Device Configuration, as it's not yet fully supported
- EtherNet/IP: Devices could not send outputs from the control panel or Task Canvas, only receive inputs
- Robotiq FT300: Force sensor would only return “device not connected”
Known Issues
- ABB 6DOF: Safety IO boots to an error that quickly resolves, but prevents initialization of Forge/OS software on ABB controller (requiring user to manually start Forge/OS software on the ABB controller)
- Modbus-TCP, Serial: Disconnecting and reconnecting the device returns a persistent “device disconnected” error that requires the interface to be disabled/enabled in System Settings to reconnect the device
- UR e-series 6DOF: Multiple UR e-series robots on a single system can cause persistent interaction delays and software slowdowns
- There is significant instability on Staubli robots and they are not recommended to be used in this version
DEVICE CONTROLS
Fixes
- Fanuc: "Unavailable" robot visualization for theCR-7iA/L is now available
- String type signals were displayed as INTs (and will now display correctly as String)
Updates
- Yaskawa 6DOF: HC10 joint jump speed is scaled closer to the linear jump speed
TASK CANVAS
Fixes
- Grid move now uses the correct frame of waypoint instead of locking to the Base frame
Known Issues
- Array Move blocks do not perform joint interpolated motion, only linear. The resolution of joint-defined waypoints to an external waypoint will fail when that waypoint is called elsewhere.
- Task Canvas performance is limited, with frequent app crashes possible at high block and subtask counts.
- Epson 6DOF: Circular moves and Continuous moves with relative joint moves will attempt to rotate J6 to “centered” position, despite that joint orientation not being specified as such in the program. Motions may prematurely fail based on J6 position.
- Exporting a subtask that calls more than one other subtask, either through Start: Parallel or Start: Inline blocks, will only export the first referenced subtask. Other tasks can be exported/imported individually.
SETTINGS
Fixes
- Time zone settings were not persisting after a System Settings change
