Fanuc RJ series 1

[28021973]

Does anyone know how to decompile the robot programs on the fanuc RJ systems so that I can make backups of them as text files and edit them offline?
Apparently there is a feature hidden in them that can do it but I dont know it.

It has been many years since I did programming on the RJ but I think you can do it with KAREL.

karel is the programming language, to edit files offline is very simple. you just need to alter the file extensions. i used rj controllers for quite a while. originally fanuc used an offline programming software using x tree! a very old windows operating system. i then just converted it using windows 98. you can use the teach pendant to save the robot program as a text file.

This depends which file type on the RJ platform you want to convert to ASCII. There are several extension types on the robot: *.tp, *.sv, *.io, *.df.......etc. TP(teach-pendant files are the most basic, you need a FANUC utility called printtp.exe. To convert sv files you need a utility called kcovars. You cannot covert the *.pc files they are FANUC source code, they have been coverted from ASCII using ktrans to machine language and cannot be converted back to ASCII. You can save the program on using the teach-pendant print file utility, this will convert only tp programs to ASCII, the new extension will be *.ls, use any word editor to view this.
