I had assembled a system in 2012 that allowed us to use an ABB 6400 robot as a wood milling station. Code was feed from a Windows XP laptop via Filezilla thru a USB connection made thru the service port on the S4C+ running M2000 (I think). The laptop finally gave up the ghost and a new file transfer mechanism is needed. I'm now retired (since 2016) and I'm trying to help out the firm I worked for, butt many of the details are a bit fuzzy. I'm also one person removed from the individual that I trained to do my job, who has also left the position.
My questions are; can a connection to the control be made to the control from a Windows 7/10 laptop? What is the nature of the setup that gets this done? Are the settings/connections the same (or similar) to what was previously used; PC address 192.168.125.90 with the same subnet, robot address 192.168.125.1, user name ABB, password ABB, FTP connection via Filezilla (or similar) thru a crossover cable to the service port on the front of the control.
Any help in getting this thing up and running again would be greatly appreciated.
