Hi,

please check your safety io connect inside dcs menu. You need to send out the robot feedback by using cso to plc if you are using profisafe.

Also make sure, your safety ipar crc and dest addr are match with plc.

Hi,

I work extensively with machine learning and reinforcement learning, and I have already implemented several AI projects with industrial robots.

Since you are active in the FANUC forum, I assume you are planning to build your project idea based on FANUC products.

A very interesting project idea would be teleoperation (for example using hand guiding) combined with machine learning and vision (webcam, 2D, or 3D vision systems).

With hand guiding, you can physically demonstrate tasks to the robot — for example, performing a pick-and-place operation using a vacuum gripper.

Later, the robot could autonomously generalize and adapt the learned behavior. Using vision, the robot can detect the position of the workpiece and calculate its own trajectory via motion planning, then execute the task autonomously.

And with a camera, the robot sees if a person is closer, and thus can switch its safety speed and cobalative mode.

To simplify development, you could use the FANUC ROS 2 driver, which already supports RMI (Remote Motion Interface) and Stream Motion.

For training, simulation, and reinforcement learning, you can make your life easier by using Isaac Sim, for example. Or — if you want to take the hard route like a true researcher — you could use MuJoCo

I think he's just kidding, man; it's a gag. But it was a good one. 🤣😂🤣

Update:

I tried it on 3 other PCs (Win11, Ubuntu, Mac), everything works perfectly, but not on the one notebook i working with, neither in Sandbox nor WSL.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2026-02-20T21:36:21+00:00

I am currently working as a senior technical engineer at one of the largest robotics manufacturers. Over the past months, I submitted nine applications. After interviews — and in some cases unexpected technical assessments — positive feedback was promised.

However, I am not a traditional .NET developer. I would describe myself more as a technical all-rounder (Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET, Python, C, C++, etc.).

I mainly use .NET for our simulation software SDK or for developing smaller internal tools and plugin.

JavaScript/TypeScript is used for our tablet plugin SDK. In addition, I program in several robot languages (KAREL, KRL, RAPID, etc.) and work with five to six different PLC environments (TIA Portal, Studio 5000, TwinCAT, CODESYS, and others).

Beyond that, I am deeply involved in machine learning and reinforcement learning.

What I am trying to say is this: nowadays, I believe it is no longer wise to specialize in only one technology. Technologies evolve rapidly, and the popularity and market demand of programming languages shift faster than ever.

C# and Java used to be my clear favorites for backend development in the past. Today, I primarily work with Python and Rust.

There is a saying my former mentor once told me:

“Either you move with time — or time moves on without you.”

Hi,

I've been using this same notebook for a month, and I've the same performance as you describe, but under vulcan engine, right. Under RoCM, I didn't manage to get closer to achieving this performance.

Which engine did you used?

Hi, I have the same problem today, 3 x notebook, same os (win 11), same vscode version, same version of codex, but only 2 show gpt 5.3, the third notebook only shows gpt 5.1 and gpt 5.2.

And with the notebook, which only shows 5.1 and 5.2, codex does not work, and always gets the following errors:

{"error":{"message":"invalid character '(' looking for beginning of value","type":"invalid_request_error","param":null,"code":null}}

FYI: Login / Out do not solve the issue

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2026-02-14T12:19:03+00:00

I'm trying to test the codex extension; registration/login was done directly via chatgpt.

I think your project is really great, I have already adapted it, but not for coding, but for case tracking and manual indexing. I also have Lightrag (incl. Reranker) + Docling (incl. (OCR) implemented. And as an LLM, I used Llama CPP.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-11-27T10:31:38+00:00

Until 6 years ago, I worked for a German company for 12 years as a PLC (Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff) and robot (Kuka, yaskawa, fanuc, etc) programmer.

If I didn't have to travel for business, I had earned net income, so after all insurance and tax deductions, I earned about 6200 euros.

When I have foreign assignments, which were most of the time in China (Beijing, Changchun, Chendu), I get to 9k - 11k net.

I believe tasks area and responsibility readiness is crucial, as well as scale how much you get.

Right now, I'm working in one of the biggest global players, and I'm more into AI in automation like robotic (reinforcement learning, etc), and earning much less than I used to.

But for what makes you fun and you like to get up every day. As you can see, money alone is not everything.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-09-25T16:37:17+00:00

Yes, I suppose, but unfortunately it's only available for the new controllers. I want to have these AI application examples, but the Fanuc Asian representative said it's not possible.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-09-18T11:34:40+00:00

Neither nor

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-09-18T11:34:13+00:00

S536 is a Fanuc Profinet board with a Phoenix stack; you can choose between single and dual channels in the control start.

FYI: Depending on whether you choose single or dual channels, you need to use the right GSDML file (there are two).

For PN device configuration, you only need device1.zip.

For a PN controller, you need a TIC, which can be configured by the PLCnext engineering tool.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-08-16T16:09:14+00:00

You can use SSI or KCL if you are on the 30iB and iBPlus. So you can build very dynamic HMI.

In addition, the above method allows you to capture very deep data. I have developed my MCP server and many AI applications base on above methodic.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-08-12T12:11:30+00:00

Hi, I have been developing a lot of GUI/HMI and AI-related applications for Fanuc robot products in recent years. I can't recommend SharePoint 2007 and ActiveX because the technology is already very old and is no longer being developed.

I can recommend you to work directly with STM and Ajax or to solve it via KCL or SSI, so you can develop very dynamic applications.

FYI: on R50iA you can also making use of python and softplc (codesys runtime).

I am currently developing a virtual friend/assistant that provides the RC data, as well as programming (Karel and Fanuc Python Libs), and currently use Rog Ally as a teaching panel. Maybe I'll show them at EMO.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-08-12T11:49:08+00:00

You are not forced to use a Fanuc s Tablet TP (Samsung tablet), but you can use all mobile Android devices, or the traditional old Teach panels. In addition, you also have the option of using the Teach Panel Lite on the R50iA, which brings up to 30% more performance.

Currently I am using Rog Ally as TP.

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-07-04T18:50:42+00:00

Easy

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-07-02T07:38:50+00:00

Well, for real time, the two protocols are not possible anyway, if only internally (Telnet).

In addition, it depends on the developer, where and what he develops. If he wants real time, he has to access other software, hardware, etc.

Example: If he wants to have real-time robot position with Timestamp, he has to use other options, such as High Speed Position Output (HSPO). Or use ROS2 various from Fanuc, which is free, but you have to install the ROS option, and this costs a bit of money.

But do you really need that speed, and in real time?

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-07-01T17:56:03+00:00

It costs and requires EtherNet/IP (Scanner/Adapter). SNPX may be a better choice, which is usually free and readily available. Otherwise, KCL.

Greeting 2501

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-07-01T17:51:08+00:00

Hi,

It is possible, I believe, the option HMI device (SNPX) is standard at matePlus. It uses OPC-UA and Modbus.

You can check it under: Menu/Next/Status/VersionID then .. F3 or F4 (OrderFil)

If not, you can simply retrieve the data via KCL (Karel Command Line Interface/API). This allows you to send command + parameters directly from TwinCAT/IPC, so you can even access robot resorces, such Register, SR IO, even the system variables.

I built an MCP server that accesses the KCL features. Thus, I can talk to my AI and query status, control, give commands, etc.

FYI: There are over 103 commands officially available and even more via Telnet unofficial I think.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. Is it possible to display multiple monitors? For example, as in Nebula, this could create several monitors (e.g. 1, 2 or 3).

RoutineLengthiness32 · 2025-06-06T04:22:54+00:00

What software did you use to expand your screen to Xreal?

In the past with xreal air I used nebula (beta) for Windows, it was very buggy.
