Currently have a mechanically shot robot with an R-J2 controller and will be swapping it out for a newer replacement arm with an R-J3iB controller - is there an easy way to take a backup from the R-J2 and upload it to the R-J3iB? I understand the struggles of backing up the R-J2, which I am able to do, but didn't know if I could export programs as ASCII then load them onto the R-J3iB, or if there was some other easier way to do it, rather than have to type it all in on the TP again. Thanks All!

If you get them into ASCII format, and you have the ASCII upload option on your new robot, you should have minimal issues loading the programs in. The syntax of Fanuc programs hasn't changed much.

You can back-up all your TP programs with KFLOPPY and reload them in your new controller without issues.
As long the targetcontroller is newer than the scource, I had never any problems.
There is an exception for reading and writing variables, some of them have different names in different contollers or simply don't excist any more.
But that is a problem with ASCI as well...
