I looked up “industrial automation” to figure out what exactly this proposal is about, and I wonder: Would it help to make this just “Automation”?

What should I do when my question is closed by those who likely have little knowledge on the subject?

What languages are used to program a FANUC robot? How can I access the programming environment? [closed]

closed as not a real question by Nij, warren, CaldeiraG, Henry WH Hack v2.1.3, double-beep Aug 22 at 7:08

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted; It's a great question and fits the site. It is neither unconstructive, nor a fake question. – tuskiomi Aug 21 at 14:40

@tuskiomi - probably because it's opinion-based and/or a list question and/or one that would only ever have one answer (at least to the first half of the sample question (What languages are used to program a FANUC robot? How can I access the programming environment?)) – warren Aug 21 at 18:55
@warren Now I'm assuming you're speaking in ignorance. There are only two languages that you can program a FANUC robot in. The languages are TeachPendant and KAREL, and they are both proprietary. – tuskiomi Aug 21 at 20:53

@tuskiomi - if that is the case, then at least the first half of the question is pointless (because it is too easily answerable from documentation/Google) :) – warren Aug 22 at 15:45
@warren it is not easily answerable by google. and documentation is no warrant to say that any question is not valid. – tuskiomi Aug 22 at 16:15

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

Changed question. – tuskiomi Aug 22 at 18:40
@tuskiomi - in the future, it's better to delete and ask a new question instead of trying to change an existing one :) – warren Aug 26 at 15:05
