1 Megabyte. There is an expansion board that has an additional 3 Meg. I believe the board is the XMM01-2 board. If you call Yaskawa they can give you part number, pricing, and if available. XRC is no longer supported but they can tell you info so worse case you can search Ebay.

i was told you can put in a compact flash drive. if not does anyone else have ideas? i called motoman and didnt get much for help sadly. which is rare from motoman

ive just ran out of room to program, had to start deleting programs sadly and this doesnt have a ton of programs
-
You could use a pc to store the jobs and use the Visual DCI software option to push or pull.

i know i can clear out some by deleting unneeded programming problem is they built all these jobs with tons subs. fact is the gentlemen i took over from was looking at a program i built , paralell start of R1-S1 and the other as R2 with everything in one main programming using T-syncs and all but was told that im wrong for that and i have to build it as 30 subs with table turns.

Hello hammerhead, do you need all the jobs stored on your XRC at once or not?
I'm working with a few XRC at my plant and i have an external SD card reader installed.
When i change production to another part i delete the current job and install the new one from the SD card and so on. Every part has it's own program and corresponding SD card.
Hope this helps... -
I will probably have to do it that way. I just did not want to do it that way if it could be helped.

Yes ofcourse, we all have our own ways of working and programming[emoji6]
In my case the SD card system works great, there's no unnecessairy clutter on my xrc and the current program has enough space to run properly.
And it's easier to work with if you have others (operators) working with the xrc, there's less room to make mistakes. -
There is a product for that as well - YasXfer. We just had one installed to a DX200, but it is supported by all Yaskawa controllers.
I have massive JOBs with tons of arithmetics used, so I had a lot of remaining step memory but ran out of memory in general.
I have the JOBs sorted into groups - one group for one product. I can have up to 3 groups in the controller at once.
So now the operator starts the master job, the robot makes sure what product is on the table and if it doesn't have the jobs for it, it uses LOADJ instructions to load the necessary group of JOBs. If there's already 3 groups of JOBs in the controller (so there isn't memory for the 4th) it will use DELETEJ to delete a group from the controller. It will delete a group that is used the less (I have counters for all groups). This way the operator still doesn't have to load anything manually and the robot uses the least time for loading.
Yaskawa Finland actually worked on getting the CF card to work with LOADJ instruction to solve my memory issue but as far as I know they didn't get it to work together with iCube we have on the robot. I'm pretty sure they found a way to use it on a robot without external network devices though. The CF card would have been way cheaper.
