    Afternoon All,

    Successfully connected to D series controller via KRTERM TCP/IP and attempting to backup controller/robot data to my PC to begin my journey into AS programming, but I can't seem to get this to work. here is what I've tried

    >SAVE programdownloadtest

    (programdownloadtest was a name I made up to save the data as)

    and

    >SAVE BACKUP.as

    (BACKUP being the saved filename I specified, added the .as for good measure, but as I understand it it is not needed)

    the controller in both instances replies:

    >SAVE/LOAD in progress

    then returns to the command prompt. as I understand it it should create the file I've named in the directory that KTERM is in, but no backup file is created.

    any clue what I'm doing wrong here?

    Good News, apparently the way to go here with D series and newer is K-IDE, it seems to be a much newer and user friendly way to interact with AS. I can now see all the AS programming, Translation Points, Precision points, etc. Still all greek to me, but off to a good start here! software connects directly to the controller via TCP/IP and saves all the info.

    Thanks for sharing the links.... :top:

    I had already provided many flavours of editors here including an older version of KIDE:

    Kawasaki Online Terminal Editors - Manuals, Software and Tools for Kawasaki Robots - Robotforum - Support and discussion community for industrial robots and cobots (robot-forum.com)

    KIDE is still being developed out of KRG (Germany not Japan AFAIK) based on user feedback and you may experience issues with older controllers as I think there are limitations with earlier AS firmware revisions (Kawasaki has bucket loads of them), however the team at KRG are fantastic to deal with and they have provided a KIDE support forum which can be found here:

    K-IDE support forum (kide-forum.eu)

    I myself don't use it as I find KROSET's IDE sufficient for my needs, but have had a look over KIDE fundamentally and it looks really good and well implemented too.

    Prior to KROSET and KIDE, a plugin had been developed for Notepad ++ which made it easier and prior to that, you basically just had notepad and long way around programming for which good product knowledge was required and the IDE's thankfully are now making Kawasaki's a little bit easier to work with especially for newcomers.
