2.5.8 Backup of Projects and Controller
After a project has been created or edited, or after system data including robot parameters
has been edited, the project and controller files should be copied and stored in media other
than the hard disk on the PC (e.g. USB memory key). Keep the backup media in a safe
place in case of damaged data on the hard disk
To backup, select Controller from the EPSON RC+ 5.0 Tools Menu and execute Backup
Controller. Refer to the section Controller Command (Tools Menu) in the chapter The
EPSON RC+ 5.0 GUI in this manual.
Backup Controller is a function to backup both the project and the controller.
To backup only the project data, select Copy from the EPSON RC+ 5.0 Project Menu.
Refer to the section Copy Command (Project Menu) in the chapter The EPSON RC+ 5.0
GUI in this manual.
- When the version of the connected RC180 controller firmware is Ver.1.0.*.*, Backup
Controller does not backup the project data. Be sure to backup the project data
individually.
- You cannot restore the backup data of the RC180 robot controller to RC90 robot
controller. Also, you cannot restore the backup data of RC90 robot controller to RC180
robot controller.
CAUTION
■
If your system cannot be restored using Restore Controller, you must restore
robot calibration parameters (Hofs, CalPls) before operating the robot. Failure to
do so will cause the robot to move to incorrect positions.
