Hi All
The controller does not see the FDD, only the PC. How do I tell it that the FDD is there so that it can load data to the robot controller (Backup)
Thanks

Welcome to the forum...……...
What Controller is it?
Do you have a FDD Unit to use?
Why would you want to use FDD....PCMICA is better/faster?
Can you post file save and I can check if function enabled or not?
Hi Kwakisaki
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the FDD unit was previously working, we have made a backup and then we re-initialized the robot controller. It is a D controller (Model D42F-A001) Jap Spec. I will post file save to check if function is enabled as soon as I can, I have a feeling it is not enabled. I have worked with Yaskawa robots for about 12 years, it is my first experience with Kawasaki, so I am still learning how it works. Do you perhaps know how to enable the FDD function?
Yes, on the D Controller the PC Card was standard and the FDD could be fitted as an option.
Your backup will still have the FDD option turned on for sure, if it was working prior to the re-initialisation.
Attached is a file you could just load in called FDD_ON.txt
- This should enable the FDD and make it available in Aux 02 for save and load options.
Thanks kwakisaki.
We do not have access through the PC card, can we input this through the teach pendent? On our backup, I can see it is on, but maybe it was re-set to off when we re-initialized?
Yes, it would of been turned off after the re-initialisation as it is not a 'standard' option.
You don't have access via the PC Card...….
Check your PM for how to enable it via the Teach Pendant.
What about a serial connection using KCWin/KRTerm (if you are using Kawasaki, I recommend you have the ability to go online).
