DX200 Getting Robot Files During Production

    I need to download some job and system files from a DX200 controller to a computer on the network during production. I was going to use the FTP Function to do this but I saw this warning in the manual:

    Quote

    Note: Other transmission processing may not be performed during an FTP communication processing.

    The communication functions of DX200 (Ethernet function, FTP function,

    Ethernet server function, etc.) cannot perform simultaneous parallel

    processing. Although pseudo multiplex communication can normally be

    performed by time division, the FTP function often occupies the

    communication band and, therefore, other communication processing

    may be forced to wait for a long time or communication time-out may

    occur. When building your system, design it to allow for occurrence of

    waiting for other communication processing due to the FTP function.

    It sounds like this could interfere with the robot communicating with the PLC and negatively affecting production?

    Do you know a production safe method of getting these files from the controller?

    Manually back the controller up. Put a CF or USB in the pendant and physically back it up.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.

    That's not practical for my application. I need fresh data from an entire factory of robots multiple times per day.

    EDIT: Sorry, that wasn't clear from my first post.

    Yaskawa Cockpit will allow you to do more than backups. Might be right up your alley.
