hello all!
i´m new to abb, i´m working with an old irb 2000/s3 M93A controller. We have a computer connected to the robot via rs 232 for downloading and uploading programs but for about a year now my colleague hasen´t been able to do so, he has to use the old fashion diskette drive to save and download programs! This has been a major problem because the computer hold´s dozens of program´s witch he cant access and has been obligated to spend lots of work hour´s redoing program´s. The sad thing about this is that ABB technicians say they wont give assistance because the robot is too old...
I haven't a clue what it might be
-The Clink in robot parameters seems to be defined
-The rs 232 cable wasen´t touched (supposedly)
-The Computer com´s seem working (we even tried on different Computer)
-The program witch we use to up/down (olp) hasen´t been altered (supposedly)
Please somebody help me figure this one out it´l be such a waste of time redoing all the programs, It must be something simple
P.s\ Is sport s3 program any good? anybody got full version they might dispense ?
