    The boot files of my robot flash card (IRC5) With 256 MB has a problem and the operating system does not boot from the flash. While flash is not a problem.

    Does anyone have an image file that can be sent to me through a link?
    To restore the image, do I need to get a CF to PCMCIA converter or are common USB to CF media is suitable for this?

    Did you try to install a new OSS? Should be possible to create and copy it to the robot with Robotstudio.

    Isn't enough information, there exist many different hardware for irc5, at least the robotware main version number should match.

    This is the story of my problem

    At first we have bought a second hand robot .when we turn on the controller we have seen some fault on the controller. So I decided to run X-Start to install new system ID on the robot controller. After selecting X-Start, system went to restart state and wants a password to continue this procedure!!!

    I wanted to connect robot install to the service port.my pc wasn’t able to connect to the controller and shows some error like system wasn’t able to connect to the pc. I don’t know service port has relation to ABB Password is set or not!!! A little bit strange.

    After that I have used command uas_disable to deactivate temporary user authorization system via hyperterminal but although this system did its job, unfortunately the requested password was not reset and I was still involved in this matter.

    So I didn’t no way. I have thought is better a test like this:

    I have attached the ABB flash Disk to a USB universal card and tried to get image (Clone) of this flash card with Acronics True Image 2021 to get the complete partition image (two different partition ) Root plus user data partition . After that I decided to one more test, to recover images to this flash disk.

    I don’t what happened exactly after that I get problem as I told before in this tread.

    The robot ware system is ROBOTWARE_5.09.5004 and at in felexpednet system is searching for robot controller but cannot approach to it .maybe I have used wrong software and hardware to take clone of flash disk.

    This was probably a bad idea. Restoring ABB flash disk is a risky procedure. There exist some threads here where iirc most of them failed. You should search for those threads! Which image did you try to recover?

    Taking clone shouldn't delete anything on the disk. Only windows itself is that silly that when connecting a disk, it writes some new files onto the disk. At least the folder "System Volume Information", may be ABB system can't handle that long name with spaces. So you can try to delete it using a linux system.

    If you are trying to use RobInstall, that won't work. That is for S4C+ and earlier controllers. Robotstudio's System builder is for IRC5 controllers of that RW 5.XX versions.

    yes I am sure I have done the Ricky procedures .

    one more question!!!

    If I find a another ABB flash Disk ,can I clone it and transfer it to my flash disk with same size?

    I know the system ID will be difference between my system. But I am sure it hasn't a password so I cam select x-start and try my system ID !!!!

    What is the best program image tool for this reason ?

    should I use old note book with PCMCIA port ?

    Please help if somebody has some more information regarding this issue.:help:

    When an ABB asks for a password, always try 007
