Connecting to the robot controller, IRC5

    Hi All,

    I am a beginner with ABB robots. We recently purchased an older ABB robot with a controller, and I have gathered the following information

    Type: IRB 6640 M2004, IRC5 Controller.

    There were several parts missing when it came to us,so we have purchased ,flex pendant and its cable etc.

    I have successfully powered on the robot, but I'm encountering an issue where the Flex Pendant screen shows "Connecting to the robot controller" and it is not progressing to the next step.

    I checked the connection at the computer's port, and noticed that the port connected to the teach pendant is only blinking the amber LED. The green LED has not turned on, and after a few minutes, the amber light turns off as well.

    I have attached the photos.

    Could anyone provide feedback or suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Judging by the picture of the computer it looks like the cf-card is missing so the controller won't boot. That's (probably) why the flexpendant is stuck on the connecting screen. If you don't have the cf-card with the boot image / robotware installation you need get one (from abb) and install it in the computer.
