Hello everyone,
I'm setting up several identical robot cells in remote locations and I would like to keep them all updated.
What files should I load for update and what for initialization?
When I'm initializing the robot I need I/O configuration and names, digital and robot for now, Numeric register, Position registers, Frames, User alarms, DCS setup, and maybe variables, but I can make initialization program that is ran by the person doing the initialization and sets up the variables.
For updates I have more specific problem, I'd like to updated all the names of Numeric registers, but values of only some of them. Same for Position registers.
I don't want to mess up stuff like mastering, passwords, DCS, or the values in registers the user has entered, for offsets mostly.
What files do I need from the control robot to do this?
DIOCFGSV.IO is for setting up the configuration and names of digital inputs and outputs.
NUMREG.VR names AND values of numerical registers? (I need only names in update, and everything for initialization)
POSREG.VR the same for position?
FRAMEVAR.VR what part of frame is this? I've seen mention of SYSFRAME too, do I need both? Which one does what?
What is the best way to make the update process foolproof? I'm currently not worried about malicious people, only too low attention span for following complex instruction, especially with branching... Can I just put everything needed in root of USB and tell them to load all files?
Also, all robots are either R-30iB or R-30iB+. What can I transfer between these two versions?
