Hello
I’m fairly new to robotics, but I’m finding my way around an old Yaskawa K10s with an ERC controller that we purchased for some pick and place proof of concepts for a CI initiative.
I’ve seen serial to USB drives being used on CNC machines in place of floppy drives (like the Titan DNC), a floppy emulator that can save your programs to a virtual floppy on a USB if you have the Yaskawa floppy unit, and I’ve read about the Yaskawa computer program that you can use to connect with and save your programs.
I just wanted to see what experiences people have had with the above or alternate ways to save a program from an ERC or other old controller.
Is it possible to connect a laptop with a serial to USB and use a virtual drive emulator?
Thanks for reading
