Executing Controller Backup
CAUTION
Regardless of the Manipulator status, the Controller Backup function can be executed at any time after the Manipulator is started.
However, no operations from the console, including aborting or pausing, are accepted while this function is running.
This function also affects the cycle time of the Manipulator and communication with Epson RC+. Other than only when it is necessary, do not execute the backup function when operating the Manipulator.
This section describes the procedure for backing up the Manipulator settings to a USB memory device.
- Insert the USB memory device into the memory port.
When the data transfer starts, the LED of TEACH, AUTO, and PROGRAM starts blinking.
(The data transfer time varies according to the size of the project.) - When the Manipulator status storage is completed successfully, the LED of TEACH, AUTO, and PROGRAM are turned ON for two seconds. The LED of ERROR turns OFF even in the error status.
If it ends in failure, the LED of ERROR, TEACH, AUTO, and PROGRAM are turned ON for two seconds. - Remove the USB memory from the Manipulator.
KEY POINTS
- It is recommended that the USB memory device include an LED that enables the user to check the status change.
- If saving is executed with the motor turned on, saving may fail in rare cases. Either use another USB memory device, or perform the save with the motor turned off.
