Creating Kawasaki Robot backup for RS006LA

    Hi all ,


    i'm trying to create backup for my E01 controller , as i will be connecting Kemmpi welding machine


    i forgot the steps ,,and i searched on all the manuals but no point


    what i did :


    from save/load option ,i saved all the data into usb


    i typed on the aux page 894 it open CF image backup function , but i couldn't select the usb


    any help will be appreciated

    Welcome to the forum...………:beerchug:


    Using the save/load option in Aux 02 creates the necessary backup information for restoration in the event of user data and system setting data loss.

    - So what you have done already using that option would have saved the required data - based on your file save data selections.


    Aux 0894 only displays the relative arm information, configuration and software versions.

    - There is no other function with 0894 as far as I'm aware (unless they have added a CF image backup function).

    - But I would be surprised if they have, and if they had, I would expect it to be within Aux 02 section.


    Can you provide any screenshots of Aux 0894 and also the listing displayed in Aux 08 Menu?

    you can save the backup from the robot also if you connect the laptop via Ethernet. Connect with KRterm and type save backup.as for example :smiling_face:


    When you plugged in the USB, the robot recognized the USB?


    thanks for the reply , kindly see the image .


    as i remember there is a way to do the backup you need to use the dip-switch .


    ya i'm connecting the controller to my laptop ,however i'm using Kawasaki new programming softwaer KIDE .it can do the same plue the programming no need to use the notepad .


    now i selected the usb it's okay i did the CF image backup function and the file size is 500 mb .


    this is my first time trying this backup method so will this be enough ?

    Cool...…………..I didn't realise that they had introduced that......About time Kawasaki.....:guru:


    KIDE is something developed by KRG (Kawasaki Robotics Germany), you would need to contact them directly for support on that (I think from memory).


    You clearly have on your USB:

    - A full filesave called backup.as (This is the standard backup usually created from Aux 02 Function).

    - An image file called savedata.ddi (This will be the complete image of the CF card).


    So, my question to you, how did you get the .ddi file onto your USB?

    - You must have carried out the CF backup operation already.


    Dipswitches are only used for upgrading firmware, kernel and initialization procedures.


    If you have a full file save and also a CF Image, that is all you require.

    - A CF image should only be used in instances of CF card failure or where instances of AS or SV corruption has occurred.

    - A full file save should be used to restore configuration data and user data, and extract existing data.

    in replay to your question :


    after entering 894 it opens the CF backup than in file name selection i select my usb , BTW it was by mistake i found out about the CF backup really :grinning_squinting_face:


    the file backup.as i name it that way , i created it from save/load than file type All , so i really hope it got all the data


    i really appreciate the support

    You have all the data you would need...…

    There is no other storage medium within the Kawasaki...:top:

    The bonus is the additional CF options, it's been along time coming...

    Thankfully now available...:bravo:


    Could you tell me what revision AS firmware is installed (you will see it in the header of the .as file)?

    Thank you, yes this is the version I have, I did not know if they continue development of it that is reason I asked.


    Also, you have discovered an undocumented menu with R code 894, which is going to benefit other users (including myself) of Kawasaki E/F Controller, so many thanks for this.....:dance2:


    Yes, your level and points may not allow you to attach the file size, I shall add the kide install to the Kawasaki Online Terminal Editors board for users to download.


    Many thanks...….:top:

    Hi all, so I know this is an old thread but I would like to add r codes that seems the one you all were looking for :


    89401 : full image backup (ddi image)

    89402 : full image restore

    there are "hidden" codes, meaning no menu access to reach them.

    the controller will reboot during the process.
