Connecting to a CR750-D controller

Hi All,

I am currently doing onsite automation support for a company and they have a Mitsubishi robot with a CR750-D controller. I am experienced with some robotics but almost no experience with Mitsubishi.

Essentially all I want to know is how do I connect to the controller with my PC in order to, most importantly, make a complete system back up, but also make the occasional change.

1) What software do I require?
2) What cabling do I require (LAN or rs232)?
3) Can I connect to the robot while its running?

these may seem like silly questions to someone more experienced with these robots but would save me a lot of time and research if anyone could help.

Thanks in advance.

Any Mitsubishi expert out there?

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Fairly basic info needed here. Can anyone help me out?
