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:

    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.
