Ouf!!! I try to understand how the files, drives, backups work on FANUC... So here a couple of questions :
#1 - Is it correct to say that "File backup" ("backup ll of above") makes copy of :
- TP prog
- System config (io, frame, ...)
- System variable ($MCR.blablabla)....
- Almost all file visible via the Teach pendant
But not the following
- option install on the robot (like IRVISION, ETHERNET, ...)
#2 - Is it correct to say that "Controller image" makes copy of :
- EVERYTHING!!!!
- option install on the robot (like IRVISION, ETHERNET, ...)
#3 - If I have to robot (same model) can I restore the image of the robot "A" on the robot "B". I understand that I will need to do a mastering.
#4 - What is the diffence between (and the principal utillity) of all these drives:
- FROM disk (FR:)
- Backup (FRA:)
- RAM Disk (RD:)
- Mem Card (MC:) (okay this one i understand)
- Mem Device (MD:)
- Console (CONS:)
- USB on TP (UT1:) (okay this one i understand)
- SRAM (i see that in the fanuc documentation)
- DRAM (i see that in the fanuc documentation)
#5 - What does a INITIAL START?
Do I will lost my options?
If I restore a controller image after a INITIAL START, i'm up and running after that?
#6 - "image backup" is the same that "controller backup" ?
#7 - In the progname list ("select button" on TP) I lost the ??file/prog?? "IVRBKLSH" on the robot "A", but I still have it on the robot "B". I try to do a "save as" on this prog (from Robot "B") but i got the error TPIF-047Invalid program is selected.
File backup doesn't take this file...
Via FTp, i can see this file
The detail of the prog is :
Creation Date : 20-Apr-2009
Modification Date : 20-Apr-2009
Copy source :
PRODUCT\CVCCRG\IRVBKLSK.PC
Positions : FALSE SIZE : 851Byte
WHERE IS THIS FILE...
What is the copy source ?
#8 - I found a memory card in a PCMCIA adapter with the label "FANUC" on it and the number of my robot... what is this memory card for?... it have a lot of file on it... I think is ship by FANUC at the same time of the robot... can I get something interresting from this... here a exemple of the content :
Config <DIR>
core6 <DIR>
plp <DIR>
product <DIR>
tool <DIR>
update <DIR>
cg7203_#.ld0 (# : from 0 to 7)
cg7206_#.ld0 (# : from 0 to 7)

.....
In the update <DIR>
about 298 <DIR> with name like
fp10333x <DIR>
p34444x <DIR>
and in each <DIR> you have 4 files
ap.com
del.com
fp10333x.com
fp10333x.tx
In the core6 <DIR>
about 165 files with name like
*.lv1
*.lv2
*.ld1
*.ld2
*.ld0
what is the utility of this memcard (compactflash) ????
I know there is a lot thing in this topic but I think it's all for the same subject? So when you will answer to this post, please specify the question number that you talk about.
Thanks a lot... I'm really confused about these subjects
