Suppose that my IRB6400 S4C+ controller is powerd one each time for one week and powerd of for one week.
Is this week of powering on enouhg for the discharge of one week power off?
If this ritm is continuously repeated, how many years could the SMB batteries then be used until replacement?

How do I load a module into the programm memory?
-
I remarked that in my S4C+ controller, I am not able to download a separate module, only the whole program, or restore a backup.
In IRC5 it is possible to load a module.
Consequences, are that if I want to do offline changes, I need to have the programm, (a backup is not sufficient).
Or is there something that I am missing? -
I saw a robot program where all the procedures where programmed in system modules.
What is the difference between programming in 'normal' modules and programming in system modules?
If I do a backup, are the system modules then also backuped? Or do I need to do something special to backup the system modules? -
Ok,
but the type involved is an S4C and not an S4C+ -
I want an output that was 1 before powerdown, to be 1 again at powerup. For 0 signal the same : 0 before powerdown = 0 after powerup.
The combination of the two parameters for a digital output are not completely clear to me :
'Signal value at system failuren and at power failure',
and 'Store signal value at power failure'.
What would happen if I activate only the first parameter?
Do I need to activate both parameters to achieve my goal? -
If I have reached the maximum number of retries in an error handler, the system is stopped.
Can it then simply be restarted by the start button on the Flexpendant? -
Next week I have to look at an S4C robot.
Has this type already an ethernet card onboar? I thought the S4C+ always has. But this type is older, is the ethernet card standard, optional, or not available?
Suppose there is something wrong with the operating system, do I need a boot disk? What if the bootdisk is lost?
Or is a key enough to generate a new robotware with robinstal? -
Can you also export it in Robotstudio?
-
I have given the default user in the robotcontroller the minimum possible rights (only starting and stopping the program). But now I see that 'PP to main' in the production window is still active.
How can I avoid somebody from activation PP to main? -
The user administration (new users, usergroups, etc) is done with robotstudio online.
But in the backup of the project I don't see anything about user administration.
Does that mean if have to completely reinstall a system, that the user administration is lost, and it cannot be retrieved from any file? -
In the beginning of my main routine I setup interrupts from digital intputs and I connect the interrupts to trap routines.
Like : CONNECT intdoorop WITH trapDoorOp;
ISignalDI diDem_Porte,1,intdoorop;
After that I have my endless loop with code.
The interrupts work fine. But if for testing I select 'PP to routine' on the teachpendant (I select f.i. the first line in the endless loop of the main routine), the interrupts are not generated anymore.
I did not do a 'PP to main', only a PP to routine.
I know that 'PP to routine' cleans the execution stack, but does it also erases the interupt connections?
I also saw that 'Call routine' does not erase the interrupt connections, but that also does not clean the execution stack : after executing the called routine, the PP returns to the position before calling the routine.
Or are there ways to maintain the interrupt connections? -
Thanks so far.
Is there a possibility to see the 'health' of the flash drive (f.i. bad sectors) on the teachpendant? Or is there any other diagnostic procedure? Or should I just replace it as precaution?
What steps do I take when a new flasdrive is installed? Install new system with robinstall from pc (I have ethernet port on robot) and afterwards restore a backup? Or are there other steps necessary concerning the
memory of the new flashdrive? -
A S4C+ controller that has been running well for more then a year after commisioning now, is now giving frequently problems after power down, power up.
A year a ago the SMB battery an the battery beneath the computer in the controller cabinet have been renewed.
Custumer says the problem is resolved by restoring backup of the program.
You should suspect the computer battery, but the customer says there are no specific messages about the battery on the teachpendant.
Can I measure the status of the computer battery electrically? If so, on which connectors can I measure what voltage?
Could there be a problem with the flash ram that stores the image after a power down? Where can I find the flash ram, and how can I diagnose it?
Or could it be the main computer?
Would making a cold restart and reïnstalling the system be a good idea, although the systems seems to start now without problems, only the program seems te be corrupted after power down? -

I have the strange effect that on my teachpendant of the IRC5 I sometimes don't see the first line of my TPWrite command
My code is just :
TPWrite "Choix 1 pour DC 100/110 X 10 ";
TPReadFK answer,"Faite votre choix","Choix 1",""," "," ","";
What could be the reason for the first line not appearing? -
Does anyone has experience in using an ABB IRC5 as profibusslave (DSQC667)of a Siemens S7 controller?
I am able let the communication work, but the strange thing is that I cannot use the system function sfc14- sfc15 : read an write consistently from the slave.
It works if I use the perhiral bytes directly, but not with sfc14-15, do I need to do something special in the gsd?
