FTP to IRB 6400 M97A

You can't.

Back then you needed an additional Ethernet board and if my memory serves me right it only supported NFS, plus the robot was a client, so you had to run an external server which the robot connected to.... no transferring of programs TO the robot.

The cool thing was that you also could run a BootP server and cold-boot the robot via the network, which usually took ~5 min (with modified install scripts to eliminate the questions) compared to probably 30min or more with the old floppy way.

Hi,Shane100Irish

You can use Total Commander software with this configuration:

Session: your favorite name

Host name [:Port]:192.168.125.1

User name: abb

Pass:007

Local dir.: your favorite path on your PC

Here are the parameters for a M97A running BW3.0 that had an exterior mounted S4C-PC.

Besides the DSQC336, it came with the RAP and Ethernet Services options.

SIO:CFG_1.0:3:0::

COM_PHY_CHANNEL:

-Name "sio1:" -Type "sio" -Baudrate 19200

-Name "sio2:" -Type "sio" -Channel 2

COM_TRP:

-Name "tcp/ip" -Type "TCP/IP" -PhyChannel "eth1"\

What FTP client are you using?

I have used the Floppy to USB unit also. Very useful because you can set up 99 floppy ids from Floppy0 to Floppy99.

I usually but the dystem disks into Floppy1 to whatever number there are, and store the programs and parameters on Floppy0

This is the option 536 folder from disk 8 from the 3HAB2390-2.54 S4C BW3.0 disk pack The other non-arcware disk pack did not have it. Hope it helps.

Pretty sure it needs to be an authorized option in the KEY file to load it.

If so, you need to do a backup and then an I-Start (press 147 at restart) to load the option.
