TDrumheller Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm having some problems downloading projects with any coordinate systems defined to a Power Brick AC with older firmware (2.3.2.5). The IDE automatically adds the "Coord[1].SignIsDirType=0" setting to the systemsetup.cfg file, but that parameter is not supported on the older firmware, so it gives an ILLEGAL CMD error when it tries to download the systemsetup.cfg file. For now I'm working around the problem by just not defining the coordinate system in the project and manually sending the axis definition commands, but I was wondering if there's any way to exclude certain values from being generated in the systemsetup.cfg to prevent this problem.

steve.milici Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Enter the needed value in the terminal window. Then right mouse-click on the “CoordinateSystem1” page under the “Coordinate Systems” folder and select “Sync Coordinate System Settings (PMAC to PC)”. This should replace the entry in the “systemsetup.cfg” file on the next “Build and Download”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDrumheller Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 It successfully synced the coordinate system from the PMAC and updated the “systemsetup.cfg”, but unfortunately it is still adding the SignIsDirType line to systemsetup.cfg (with the default value of 0) when it updates it, even though that isn't a valid element of Coord[x] in this firmware version (only in firmware 2.6 and newer according to the Software Reference Manual), so it's still giving an error message when it tries to download the systemsetup.cfg to PMAC and tries to set an element that the firmware doesn't understand.

steve.milici Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Since “Coord[x].SignIsDirType” was introduced in FW vs 2.6, and you have 2.3.2.5, you will need to update your PMAC FW or continue to define the CS manually. Please contact ODT's direct technical support for FW upgrade options: ODT-Support@Omron.com They will need the barcode label SN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The next release of the IDE will fix this issue. It should be available on the Omron website at the end of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
