In this video, we will go over how to view backed-up vision data offline using FANUC’s iRVision tools and ROBOGUIDE. If you’ve ever needed to analyze vision processes without being connected to a live robot, this walkthrough will show you exactly how to do it. Reviewing vision data offline is a powerful way to troubleshoot, train, and optimize your robotic systems while minimizing downtime.
We start by covering the essentials of creating a proper controller backup. You’ll learn how to navigate the teach pendant menus, select the correct device, and organize your files so that your backup includes the vision data files you need. Once your backup is ready, we’ll guide you through loading it into ROBOGUIDE, creating a virtual work cell, and accessing the robot’s home page to explore iRVision settings.
Inside ROBOGUIDE, we’ll demonstrate how to open Vision Setup and review all the vision processes and camera data tools from your backup. You’ll see how to review and modify the parameters withing the vision process —all without connecting to a real robot controller. This gives you valuable insight into what’s running in production and helps you make informed adjustments.
One important note: backups do not include camera images. We’ll explain why and point you toward the iRVision Image Playback feature for loading logged images when needed. This ensures you can fully visualize your processes and maintain accuracy in your analysis.
Requirements:
- Robot controller with backup capability
- ROBOGUIDE installed on your PC
- Vision data files included in your backup
What you will learn:
- How to back up your robot controller and include vision data files
- Steps to create a virtual work cell in ROBOGUIDE from a backup
- How to navigate and view vision processes and camera data offline
- How to address image limitations using playback tools
By the end of this video, you’ll have the confidence to review and analyze vision data offline, helping you improve efficiency and maintain high-quality robotic operations.
