Restore

Controller settings can be restored from Epson RC+.

CAUTION

When restoring, be sure to use the data for the same Controller that was used when making the backup.
Do not modify the saved files with editors or other software. Operation of the robot system is not guaranteed when data is restored to the Controller.

From the Epson RC+ menu, select [Tools] - [Controller] to display the [Controller Tools] dialog box.
Click the [Restore Controller…] button to display the [Browse For Folder] dialog box.
Specify the folder where the backup data is stored.
"B_Controller Type Name_Serial Number_Date and Time"

KEY POINTS

The "Controller Backup" function to the USB memory device also allows selection of the saved data.
Click the [OK] button to display the dialog box for selecting data to be restored.
- Robot names, serial numbers, calibrations
  This function also restores the robot name, robot serial number, Hofs data, and CalPls data. Note that restoring incorrect Hofs data will prevent the robot from operating at the correct position.

KEY POINTS

The system configuration that was saved by the Controller settings backup should be restored only on the same system (Controller settings restore).

If the user tries to restore information from a different system, the following warning dialog box appears.

Except in special cases such as replacing a Controller, you should click the [No] button to not restore the data.
Restoring a backup that contains unsupported robot information to the target Controller will result in an error.
Restoring "Robot names, serial numbers, calibrations" and "Safety board configuration" separately may cause an error when the Controller is started.

When an error occurs, refer to the following manual to correct it.

"Status Code/Error Code List"
When restoring, the IP address is not restored to prevent unexpected communication interruptions due to the IP address being overwritten. The most recent IP address set to the Controller is retained.
When you select "Robot names, serial numbers, calibrations" or "Safety board configuration", you need to enter the safety board password. For details, refer to the following manual.
