Release Notes for RobotStudio 2022.1

General

The release name is RobotStudio 2022.1 and the build number is 22.1.9826.0. The release date is March

29, 2022.

User documentation

The RobotStudio Operating Manual is available in all languages except Czech, i.e. English, German,

French, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish. A selected set of RobotWare manuals are available. Each of

them is available in two versions, one for IRC5 and one for OmniCore.

Tutorials

Tutorials are available at the RobotStudio product pages at http://www.abb.com/roboticssoftware.

System Requirements

Required Software

Microsoft Windows 10 Anniversary Edition or later, 64-bit edition, is required.

The Windows AppInstaller is a pre-requisite for the virtual OmniCore FlexPendant software, see

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1. The App Installer is a default built-in

app in Windows 10, but may have been removed on some PCs.

Sideloading of apps must be enabled on Windows 10 to install the virtual OmniCore FlexPendant.

To enable sideloading follow these steps:

1. Open Settings.

2. Click Update & Security > For developers.

3. Under Use developer features, select Sideload apps or Developer mode.

Visual SafeMove: Possible to decouple emergency stop output

Can configure PROFINET Controller and PROFINET Device on different network interfaces

The PROFINET Controller and the PROFINET Device can now be configured on different ports, i.e. Public

Network (WAN) and I/O Network (LAN), in the I/O Engineering in RobotStudio.

CC-Link Device

CC-Link device can now be configured in IO Engineering part of RobotStudio.

Copy joint values to clipboard as jointtarget text

Added a context command to robots for copying the current joint values to the Windows clipboard as a

RAPID jointtarget declaration. External axes joint values are included for activated units.

Copy TCP to clipboard as robtarget text

Added a context command to robots for copying the current coordinates of the active TCP to the

Windows clipboard. The coordinates are copied in relation to the active workobject and as a RAPID

robtarget declaration.

Copy/Apply position and orientation

The functionality for copying the position/orientation from one object and applying it to another has

been improved.

All objects with position and orientation are supported.

Choose if the copied position/orientation is in relation to the world coordinate system or the

object's parent's coordinate system. The same reference will be used when applying the

position/orientation.

It is possible to apply position, orientation or both the position and orientation.

Create part from Work Envelope

Added a button in the Work Envelope window for adding the generated work envelope to the station as

a part. The part is saved in the station and can be exported as any geometry.

File - Open page

In the File menu, the Open and Recent commands have been merged into a new Open page.

IRB 1300-12kg/1.4m

The IRB 1300 12kg/1.4 m variant has been added to ABB Library. It is supported from RobotWare 7.6.

IRB 920T IP54/Clean Room

The IRB 920T IP54/Clean Room variant has been added to ABB Library. It it supported from RobotWare

7.5.

Sample stations available from the Open page

Sample stations have been moved from the RobotStudio installer to cloud storage to reduce the size of

the distribution and allow independent updates.

The sample stations can be downloaded from the File - Open page.

Visual SafeMove: Possible to decouple emergency stop output

From RobotWare 7.6, it is possible to decouple the external emergency stop from the emergency stop

output in order to not cause dead-locks.

Improvements

"Comments" renamed to "Change Log" in Save As dialog

In the Save As dialog, the text box label was changed from "Comments" to "Change Log" to clarify that

the text corresponds to a Change Log entry in the station information.

"Include safety settings" checked by default

The setting "Include safety settings" is now checked by default in the Unpack & Work wizard.

OmniCore support for IRB 1200

Added support for creating OmniCore virtual controllers for IRB 1200 in RobotStudio.

Permanently hide "View Robot at Target" notification

Added a button in the "View Robot at Target" notification menu to hide the notification permanently.

The notification can be restored by selecting "Restore hidden dialogs and messages" in Options.

Restart dialog after installing a package

The user will now be prompted to restart RobotStudio after installing a package from the add-ins tab.

Tooltip on Default Gateway in I/O Network dialog

Added a tooltip that informs the user that the default gateway can only be set from the 'Public network'

configuration and is shared between the public and the I/O network interfaces.

Visual SafeMove: Support for rotated CRB 15000 robot

Visual SafeMove now supports none zero gravity parameters in the Safety Configuration for CRB 15000

(GoFa). RobotWare 7.5 or higher is required.

Information

Camera Emulator Removed from Integrated Vision in RobotStudio

Camera Emulator is removed from Integrated Vsion in RobotStudio.

Corrections

PDD

12926

Online Monitor shows incorrect layout for IRB 6620LX

Online Monitor now correctly displays IRB 6620LX in situations where Task Frame and Base Frames have

been changed from their default values.

13309

FlexPendant Viewer chapter missing in Robotstudio Operating Manual

Added the previously removed FlexPendant Viewer chapter back to the RobotStudio Operating Manual.

13497

Special characters in UAS password not accepted

Corrected the validation of password characters when creating a user on an IRC5 controller. The

password is now checked for unsupported characters such as & and " before it is sent to the controller.

14049

Gearbox heat prediction does not support IRB660 and IRB460

The error message will now give the actual cause for IRB660 and IRB460 not working with the add-in,

which is that "Fan upgrade for this robot model is not available."

14081

TCP trace: Maximum trace length too short

The maximum length in TCP trace was not enough for a long lasting simulation. It has now been

increased from 1 km to 90,000,000 km.

14118

Not possible to free hand jog joint 3 of IRB 920T

The IRB 920T IP30 simulation models have been updated to enable freehand jogging of both axis 3 and

axis 4.

14158

OPC UA Client connection failure

The timeout for finding an OPC UA server was set to 1 second in the OPC UA Client Smart Component.

This could lead to connection failures when trying to connect to a distant server with a lot of latency.

The timeout has now been increased to 5 seconds.

14168

OPC UA Client doesn´t synchronize signals after Reset

Fixed a bug that caused the OpcUaClient Smart Component to stop synchronizing signals when

clicking the Reset button in the Simulation tab.

14177 Elevated rail length is missing in RobotStudio

14195

Exception when adjusting robtargets

Fixed an exception that could happen when using the Adjust Robtargets functionality or when opening

a RAPID module. The issue only occurred if there was a RAPID module with an ELSEIF statement having a

numeric literal directly followed by a keyword without whitespace in-between.

14205

Category not validated in "Add Signals" dialog

The Category attribute of a signal must follow the same rules as a RAPID identifier. This was however

not enforced by the "Add Signals" dialog. The dialog now validates the Category attribute before

enabling the OK button.

14237

Recent UAS users not stored

When logging in to a controller using the "Log in as a Different User" menu item the user name was not

stored in the Recent Users list (File > Options > Online > Authentication & Language) and was not shown

in the User Name dropdown list in the login window. This has now been corrected.

14261

Misaligned animation in glb file

Fixed errors in the animation when a glTF file is exported from a complex simulation where Smart

Components are used to modify the object hierarchy.

14319

I/O view device filter not working

Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to filter on devices that had slotted child devices. Selecting a

"parent" device will now show all IOs belonging to its child devices.

14394

Fatal exception when rotating graphics view

Fixed a bug where RobotStudio would crash when rotating the view after selecting top or bottom view

Exception when logging in as "admin" user on RobotWare 6.x Virtual Controller

RobotStudio now verifies the credentials when logging in to a RobotWare 6.x Virtual Controller. Earlier

any combination of username and password was accepted, leading to unexpected behavior.

Note that there is by default no "admin" user on a RobotWare 6.x controller.

Visual SafeMove: No error when assigning a writer to an input signal

Now there will be an error in the I/O node when assigning a writer to an input signal

Rapid: No message shows on clicking on new declaration link to a blank module

title: Issue with new declaration in RAPID Data Editor

New Declaration hyperlink in RAPID Data Editor has been updated. It now gets disabled and gets a tool

tip showing disabled reason when no valid RAPID type is chosen by the user.

Visual SafeMove: Assigned signal to Stop Configuration not auto protected

Visual SafeMove has been updated making sure a protection of a Stop Configuration also automatically

protects its assigned signals.

Visual SafeMove: SafeRanges removed after writing to Stand Alone Controller.

SafeRanges are no longer removed after writing to Stand Alone Controller.

Visual SafeMove: Wrong corner angle values in error message

Error message values for the limit of a corner angle is now shown correctly in Visual SafeMove.

PDD

Wrong English to German translation in Cross connection tool

Corrected some German translations in I/O Engineering Tool.

OPC UA Client disconnected when adding object to station

Fixed an issue that caused all instances of the OpcUaClient Smart Component to become

disconnected when an object was added to the station.

IRB 910INV: Jogging top part of J3 moves J4.

Fixed an issue with freehand joint jog in the IRB 910INV (IP30) simulation models.

TCP Trace: IRB 14050 category 0 stop position not displayed

Fixed an issue with stop position trace for IRB 14050.

Not possible to set default gateway to 0.0.0.0

0.0.0.0 is now an allowed IP address for Default Gateway

Incorrect dialog placement when scaling is enabled

Fixed an issue where the placement of dialogs was not restored correctly in a multi-display

environment with differing scale settings.

Export and import of 2D work envelope fails

Disabled export of wire objects such as a 2D work envelope to graphics formats that only support

triangle primitives.

Added support for wire primitives to glTF export.

Visual SafeMove: Base Frame not updated with data from controller when creating new controller

configuration

Now Base Frame is updated with data from controller when creating new controller configuration.

Visual SafeMove: Missing trigger signal not validated in Stop Configurations

A missing trigger signal in a Stop Configuration will now generate an error.

Network settings, Actual port speed

Added a read-only label below the port speed drop-down that shows the actual port speed on the

network interface which can differ from the configured port speed if the network switch does not

support the set speed.

F1 in RAPID Editor opens IRC5 manual instead of

Ensured that the correct RAPID reference manual, IRC5 or OmniCore, is opened when using context

sensitive help in the RAPID editor.

PDD

Visual SafeMove: Not possible to configure a M17 device when the configuration already has a

PROFIsafe device

Now it is possible to configure M17 device when the configuration already has a PROFIsafe device

Visual SafeMove: Exception when switching between I/O Engineering Tool and Visual SafeMove

When configuring devices in I/O Engineering Tool and switching window to Visual SafeMove an

exception was thrown when using RobotWare 6. This has now been fixed.

PDD

Known Limitations

Visual SafeMove

E10 virtual controller not supported

It is not possible to create a valid safety configuration file for a virtual controller where the controller

model is E10. The device mapping of signals on the internal feedback device will be incorrect. There is no

information about this limitation inside Visual SafeMove because it is currently not possible to know the

model of a virtual controller.

Configurations with Basic Joint Supervision disabled can be created

For SCARA robots, like for example IRB 920T, only the limited functionality Basic Joint Supervision is

supported by the Safety Controller. Visual SafeMove allows the full set of functionality to be configured

even though it is not supported. Writing a safety configuration file with Basic Joint Supervision disabled

results in an error since it is invalid. Workaround: Enable the option Basic Joint Supervision on the robot

node in Visual SafeMove.

Current joint values cannot be retrieved when external axes are included in the configuration

It is not possible to retrieve the current joint values using the Read current values function on the

Synchronization node when external axes are included in the configuration. Workaround: Read the

values from the FlexPendant and update manually.

The safety controller is not forwards compatible

When writing a safety configuration file of a later version than the current safety controller image, then

RobotStudio will generate an error of type “C00FFFE: Unknown error

(0xC004FFFE)LoadSafetyConfigurationFile”. (Note that this error may occur for other reasons as well

and is thus not unique to this case).

The function Get vectors from active tool reads values from the robot

The idea behind this function is to to read the data from the currently active tool of the robot in order

to define a corresponding SafeMove Tool in the safety configuration. That is the reason why the tool

information is read from the robot and not the safety controller. The tools of the safety configuration

are visible the Visual SafeMove itself and does not need a special function to be retrieved.

Protected checksum may change when upgrading RW from 6.04.0x to 6.05 or 6.06

The protected checksum will change if the input and output modules of the internal device is protected.

The reason is that two attributes change order.

No visualization of Safe Range for external axes in Visual SafeMove for SafeMove Basic or Pro

When Safe Range is used to limit the axis range of an external axis such as a track motion, there will be

no visual indication of the actual range in the graphic view.

Visual SafeMove windows can be re-opened from the Quick Access Toolbar menu

Any windows that are closed can be re-opened using the Quick Access Toolbar menu, as the command

Default Layout does not recover these windows.

SafeMove Tool Zone visualization in Online Monitor for robots with external axes

Only TCP robots and track mounted robots will be visualized in the Online Monitor, no other external

axes or positioners. As a consequence, the Online Monitor may show the robot in a non-violating

position, even though the safety controller has detected a safety violation and stopped the robot.

IO Configurator 6

*Safety configuration problem with PROFIsafe Controller or CIP-Safety scanner

Changing safety settings in Visual SafeMove or IO Configurator 6 does not always work in conjunction

with the "PROFISafe controller" or "CIP-Safety Scanner" option. Connection with robot controller can be

lost during any IO-configuration, sometimes resulting in that the Flex Pendant reboots. Again this is only

applicable when the PROFISafe controller or CIP-Safety scanner option is present in the system. Problem

is dependent on how many devices are configured on respective industrial network. I.e. EtherNet/IP or

ProfiNet.

Online

Port speed cannot be set at the same time as 'Obtain IP address automatically'

In the Public Network settings dialog the Port speed drop down menu is disabled when 'Obtain IP

address automatically' is selected.

Workaround:

1. Select 'Use the following IP address' and specify any valid IP address.

2. Select the desired port speed and press OK.

3. Select 'Obtain IP address automatically' and press OK.

Individual RAPID tasks cannot be stopped for RobotWare 5.60 and later

When running multitasking systems, it is not possible to start and stop individual tasks with the

dropdown menu of the task node in the Controller browser. This is due a restriction introduced with

RobotWare 5.60 and later.

Individual RAPID tasks cannot be stopped for RobotWare 5.60 and later

When running multitasking systems, it is not possible to start and stop individual tasks with the

dropdown menu of the task node in the Controller browser. This is due a restriction introduced with

RobotWare 5.60 and later. However, from RobotWare 6.03 onwards, then RAPID tasks to execute or to

stop can be selected from RobotStudio RAPID tab.

FlexPendant Viewer running with automatic reloading

When having FlexPendant Viewer running with automatic reloading of the screens and at the same time

jogging the robot with the joystick the robot jogging might halt when the FlexPendant Viewer reloads.

Online – Paint

Backup for Paint systems does not create backup of the PIB for IRC5P with RobotWare 5.xx

The Backup function of RobotStudio does not create a backup of the PIB board of the IRC5P system

when running RobotWare 5.xx. Workaround: Create the backup of the PIB board with the FlexPaint

Pendant using an USB-stick.

Go Offline does not work for Paint systems

The Go offline function will not create a working Virtual controller system for Paint system unless the

Paint package I/O option is set to Simulated.

Online – Integrated Vision

Installation error when having previous versions of RobotStudio or Insight Explorer

If you have a previous version of RobotStudio or Cognex In-Sight software installed, installing a new

version of RobotStudio may result in the following error message

Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Cognex\InSight\5.7.1674.0\CvsInSightDisplay.ocx failed

to register. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support personnel.

Workaround: To correct the issue, open Windows Settings -> Apps -> Apps & features, select the

current ABB RobotStudio 2019.x, select Modify, and step through the installation wizard and select

Repair. Alternatively, uninstall and reinstall RobotStudio.

Note: Only one version of the In-Sight Display Control can be registered at a time, and this is always the

latest version installed. Although older versions of RobotStudio or In-Sight may seem to function with

this version installed, their compatibility with this version is not guaranteed.

RobotStudio may hang for up to 60 seconds when configuring jobs with PatMax 1-50

The user interface of RobotStudio may freeze for up to 60 seconds when configuration Integrated

Vision jobs with the tool PatMax 1-50.

Workaround: Use PatMax 1-10 instead

Remaining error – New Emulators

New camera models have been added to the camera emulator option in RobotStudio 6.04.01. Some of

these new models are not yet fully compatible. Our recommendation is to choose a camera model from

the 7000 series which is fully compatible with Firmware version 4.10.2.

Emulated cameras not discovered when controller in Motors On

For RobotWare 5.61 onwards, the camera discovery mechanism is disabled when the controller is in

Motors On. As a consequence, the camera nodes will not appear in the controller browser.

Workaround: Switch to Manual Reduced Speed and use the Refresh command on the Integrated Vision

node in the browser to make the cameras appear.

Information – Camera firmware version and update

The minimum firmware version to be used with Integrated Vision is 4.08. If this version is not available for

a specific camera model, then the newest version available shall be used. There are two important things

to know before upgrading a sensor:

The user must make sure to first backup the files on the camera. This can be done using the Rapid

snippets for camera backup/restore, or the FlexPendant Explorer.

The latest available firmware version may vary across sensor types. However, when the firmware

update utility presents the latest available version it shows the firmware with the highest version

number which may not apply to the sensor to be updated. However, the appropriate firmware will

be applied.

Information – The spreadsheet view

The spreadsheet view is not enabled when editing in the in the following modes “Add part location tool”,

“Add part inspection tool”. Before entering the spreadsheet mode click for example “Setup Image” or

Output to Rapid.

Information – Calibration board without fiducial

When using the calibration boards, checkerboard or board with dots, the user must select the preferred

origin by clicking and accepting (press enter) three points on the board. Only after these three points

have been selected it is possible to click "calibrate" to execute the calibration.

Information - Use default camera settings

If the camera is not using default communication settings the result may be that RAPID instructions

return error code “Communication Error”. The safest method to get default settings is to go to

Connect->Add Sensor Right click and select “Show all sensors”. Select the device to reset and click

“Apply factory settings” in the lower right corner. The most important settings are:

Telnet port: 23

User: "admin"

Password: ""

Information – User Credentials

It is now possible to create user profiles with different access levels on the camera. For detailed

information about this, please refer to the Integrated Vision User Manual.

Remaining error – Save image on camera

It is not possible to save an image on the camera using “Save Image”. This is by design, but the dialog

still allows the user to try to do this. The result is that the image is not saved and no error message is

given.

Remaining error - Connect button greyed out for no reason

It may sometimes happen that the “Connect” button is greyed out, with the tooltip saying the camera is

not on the correct subnet although the IP settings are OK.

Workaround: Restart the Integrated Vision Add-In

Remaining error – VC started from Controller->Add controller does not detect cameras

A VC that is started from Controller->Add controller does not detect cameras on the network, even if

the VC_network_definition.xml is correctly configured and the firewall is turned off. The reason is that

the controller is not able to detect new cameras on the network when it is in “Motors On” state. When

the VC is started stand-alone in RobotStudio it is automatically set to “Motors On“ when started.

Workaround: To allow it to discover cameras, turn the control panel key to manual mode or launch the

VC as part of a station.

User tip - Removing cameras from configuration

To remove a configured camera from the list of configured cameras, use the configuration editor. Enter

Configuration->Communication->Application Protocols and remove the desired camera. Perform a

warm start to complete the operation.

User tip – Viewing all cameras present on the network

Connect->Add Sensor is normally used for setting the IP addresses of sensors that are not currently on

the correct subnet (192.168.125.X). Since the dialog shows all cameras “seen” by the PC, this dialog is

useful when error tracing camera network problems. If a camera does not appear on the network using

the “Add sensor” dialog as suggested above, it is advisable to cycle the power of the camera. If the

camera receives power from the controller, then cycle power by turning the mains switch.

User tip – Warm start the controller after changing network settings

Whenever changing the network settings of the camera, either from Connect->Add Sensor or Connect-

>Network settings, it is important to warm start the controller. If this is not done, RAPID instructions will

give the error “Communication Error” and the FTP-mounted camera disk is not accessible. If DHCP

address is used and persist, please try a static address instead.

Offline

Point cloud data in JT files can't be imported

Point cloud data in JT files is not imported by RobotStudio.

Issue with collission avoidance for palletizer robots

When configuring collision avoidance for a palletizer robot using RobotWare 6.11, attaching an object to

a mechanism link can result in an error and the configuration will not be loaded.

The YuMi library revision 1 cannot be successfully updated to YuMi revision 2

When opening a Pack&Go file with a station that has a reference to IRB14000_0.5_0.5__01.rslib you

get the option to update it to the newer IRB14000_0.5_0.5__02.rslib .

The following issues occurs if you select ‘Yes’ and update the model:

The attached parts, for example Smart Grippers, are detached.

The new YuMi robot is not connected to the virtual Controller.

The old YuMi mecanism is converted to a component.

Answer ‘No’ to this question to keep the original revision 1 model and avoid the problems mentioned

above.

RobotStudio needs to be restarted to update a modified library instance

When editing a library file (.rslib) that is used in a currently open station, then RobotStudio needs to be

restarted to update the library. Simply re-opening the station is not enough to update the content of

the station. Unless RobotStudio is restarted, the old library instance will remain in memory and be loaded

even though the underlying file has been updated. This is a known limitation and is expensive to fix.

There is a workaround to the problem, which is to restart RobotStudio.

The robot IRB 1600ID 1.55 m / 6kg replaced by IRB 1660ID1.55 m / 6 kg in RobotWare 6.04

The robot IRB 1600ID 1.55 m / 6 kg is not available in RobotWare 6.04 and later. It has been renamed to

IRB 1660ID 1.55 m / 6 kg. Virtual controller systems for IRB 1600ID 1.55 m / 6 kg based on RobotWare 6.03

cannot upgraded to RobotWare 6.04 and later. This means that Pack&Go files for this robot based on

RobotWare 6.03 cannot be upgraded to RobotWare 6.04 automatically

Workaround: Re-build or modify the virtual controller system to use IRB 1660ID 1.55 m / 6 kg instead

when using RobotWare 6.04 or later.

FlexPendant and RAPID applications run with logged in user rights

A FlexPendant or RAPID application running on the virtual controller runs with the rights of

the logged-in Windows user. RAPID applications running in a background task will start to execute when

the Pack&Go file is opened and FlexPendant applications will start to execute when the user starts the

Virtual FlexPendant. A warning message has been added to the Unpack&Work wizard to make the user

aware that only Pack&Go files (.rspag) from trusted sources shall be opened.

Compatibility of RobotStudio Library and Stations with older RobotStudio versions

RobotStudio is generally not forwards compatible, i.e. it is not possible to load stations or libraries

created in RobotStudio 6.04 into an earlier version of RobotStudio such as e.g. RobotStudio 5.x, 6.03.02

or earlier. However, RobotStudio is backwards compatible, which means stations and libraries created

in versions 5.x, 6.03.02 or earlier can be opened in RobotStudio 6.04

TrueMove path visualization fails for customized zone data

The TrueMove path visualization function only supports predefined zonedata. It will not work for user

defined zonedata.

Backup fails for RobotStudio solutions with SafeMove or Electronic Position Switches

Backups are automatically created for virtual controller systems that are part of a RobotStudio solution

when saving the station. For virtual controller systems with the RobotWare options SafeMove or

Electronic Positioning Switches the backup will fail since these systems contain files that are read-only.

As a result, an error message is presented in the output window: <System name>: Backup failed . The

station will be successfully saved but there will be no backup created. Workaround: Ignore the error

message <System name>: Backup failed and create a manual backup whenever needed. The

RobotStudio Option “Enable automatic backup of controllers in solution” that is available in

”RobotStudio Options -> Robotics -> Virtual Controller” can be de-selected to disable the backup

function.

IRB 14000 cannot be combined with any other robot

The function system from layout fails if trying to create a MultiMove system where one robot is an IRB

14000. The reason is that the IRB 14000 cannot be combined with any other robot.

Workaround: Create a separate system for the IRB 14000.

The Work Envelope function does not support IRB 14000

The function is disabled for the IRB 14000 and cannot be activated.
