RE: Strange joint values received from ABB RobotStudio via newest Emulate3D Add-In (E3D 2026 / V19)

Hi Tom, Glad to see that you and Friedrich have found the cause of the issue. I agree that a future update is necessary to ensure data is transferred reliably regardless of localization. I have plans to overhaul our robot comms protocol to send raw bytes instead of strings, which I believe would fix ...

Hi Tom, Based on the screenshot, it looks like the Type is being specified correctly (double is equivalent to 64-bit float). I have attached another test model for you to try which should print out the exact string value for all tags (joint & IO) before the conversion happens. From this we will be ...

Hi Tom, I inspected your E3D model but couldn't see any immediate problems. Interestingly, if we convert the robot angles displayed in the RobotStudio slider UI to Radians, we get very close to the values coming across in the IO Browser - just with the decimal place missing. Signage seems to be correct. ...

Hi Tom, This is actually somewhat of a positive sign for us, as it indicates that it wasn't any recent 2026 changes that caused this. 2025 was well used and tested, so it is pointing towards something being off on your side. I noticed in one of our support tickets where your issue was forwarded to ...

Hi Tom, The Emulate3D team is currently waiting on ABB RobotStudio license renewals, so unfortunately we're unable to test locally at this time. Could you try in 2025 with version 4.0.0 of the Robot Emulation Servers script and version 4.10.8 of the Robot Framework script (higher versions are compatible ...

Hi Slejska, Are the loads hollow at the center? The robot tool does a Ray Pick from top down, and if the loads are hollow the Ray will end up going past the load and detecting the conveyor below instead etc. You should be able to modify the LookDirection and LookOffset via properties on your Robot ...

Hi Paul, Glad to hear! The member of our team experiencing the same issue has also confirmed the latest update has fixed things. I will be able to release a non-beta version of 4.10.7 once it has been approved by QA, probably sometime next week. -------------------------------------------

Hi Will, Do you have a (virtual) Robot Controller in your MotoSim workcell? In order to generate the Joint Angle tags for a workcell, the plugin requires a controller to be present, not just the Robot model itself. -------------------------------------------

Hi Paul, This issues seems to have happened to a handful of users since version 4.10.6 of the Robot Framework was released, but not frequently enough for us to be able to identify the cause. I have released a speculative fix just now in version 4.10.7-beta.1. Please could you update to this version ...

RE: Why does the AGV task sequence affect robot transfer?

Hi Suryan, It comes down to a few things: TileType needs to be Transfer in order for the Pod to be briefly passed to the tile. DeleteStowedLoads on tile needs to be set to False, so that the load is not deleted. Logic to reparent the load must be done in OnProcess, not AMRArrived. ...

Hi Suryan, Did you remember to set DispatchInEnabled to True? I removed logic in your AMRGridManager that was setting DispatchInEnabled to False. -------------------------------------------

Hi Suryan, The reason this happens is because setting DispatchInEnabled to False doesn't prevent incoming transfers from selecting that visual as a target. It only stops subsequent transfer events of that visual from happening until DispatchInEnabled is set to True again. This is global behaviour ...

Version 18.0.2 of E3D 2025 will be releasing around the end of next week, my recommendation would be to update when it becomes available. If there are any stability/rendering issues, it is possible that the update may resolve them. -------------------------------------------

Hi Suryan, It looks like this happens because when there is more than one pending transfer, they are dispatched in a fixed order. In this case it happens to be for the left load, then the right load. This is not something that can be changed, and the order may vary depending on the situation. So ...

Hi SAINI, I was not able to reproduce this issue. I have attached a video showing myself jogging the robot in 2025 (version 18.0.1). The robot responds instantly as the teach orb is moved. If you haven't tried already, I would try restarting both your machine and E3D, in case there is an issue with ...
