Yes, the PCMCIA. Yup, sometimes it solves my issues, if you have one laying around, be sure to give it a try!
Coming back with this issue. We got a new MC of 256Mb and gave it a try, but the problem persists.

Thank you for your answer. I don't see how the movements of the conveyors could be related, but we will force the conditions to see if it is the reason to trigger the problem. I will let you know the results.
We had been struggling for some time now with the IRPK-079, "Need to synchronize data" problem in production lines with 3 delta robots M-3iA/6s with R30iB controllers.
The problem occurs during the power On of the line (after power off, or because of a restart). It doesn't happen every time, but sporadically.
We know, that after this kind of problem, the robots need to synchronize the recipes data from the master to the other robots by pressing "Synchronize Data" on the robot web page workcell or in the pendant. But in some cases, after pressing "Synchronize Data" we are seeing that some of the recipes change some of the fields. They seem to reset to the default value. It happens more frequently with the active recipe but also had happened with others. It is very frustrating, it means a collision of the robots, a time-consuming task from our side to check all the recipes each time we have this problem (we have almost 60 recipes, so it is a lot), and less production time for the client. Specifically, the values that are changing are the ref_pos and appr_ofst of the recipes.
We had reduced the number of times this occurs by just never turning off the robots. But sometimes after a forced restart, we are facing it anyway.
We upgraded the firmware version of the controllers to the newest one, to be sure it wasn't a bug of some kind, but it didn't make any difference.
Any idea of what may be causing this problem?
Yes, eventually worked. It's been a long time and I do not remember the magic involved.
Like you said I also tried every single combo, maybe the solution was combinations of combinations
Did you try formatting the USB using Fanuc format ?
Can you do any other backup ? Don't laugh, but maybe the operating system is stack somewhere and another backup will wake it up.
Yes, we tried formating the USB using the Fanuc format.
We had been doing 'All of Above' backups without problems.
As for the other suggestion about the PCMCIA, we don't have any around, but I will be sure to get one and give it a try.
Already tried MC: card?
No, we haven't tried with a Memory Card (I suppose we are referring to the PCMCIA). Do you think, that is worth trying?
Sorry, I've been there, last file and it fails
Try different USB Different brand and size
Try UT1. UD1 is, believe or not more reliable, but in your case try UT1
Did you actually solve it? I think we had tried every single combination, with different USB flash drives. But if you solved it just by trying other options, we might have some hope I guess.
Could it be some kind of problem in the SRAM memory?
We have 14 of the same robots and no problem with them. Only with this specific robot, we are facing this backup problem.
Hi There!
We had been struggling for some time now to get an image backup from an R30iB controller. The controller is commanding a delta robot M-3iA/6s. We are using the controller UD1 port to get the image with a USB flash drive. We had tried several different USB flash drives, with bigger or smaller capacity, 'recommended' by Fanuc, etc. Specifically, we had tried:
- To do a backup from the controlled start (F1 + F5)
- To do a backup from the FILE Menu in cold start
- With a USB drive formatted in the robot
- With a USB drive with the size of 2Gb, 4Gb or bigger (included some Sandisk Cruzer Blade)
What we are seeing, is that the robot generates all the FROMXX.IMG, but gets stuck in the SRAM00.IMG file. It doesn't finish after waiting for more than 1 hour, and we are forced to turn off the robot. After taking out the USB from the robot, the robot starts correctly, but in the USB there are the FROMXX.IMG files, but not the SRAMXX.IMG files (Please, see the attached image for reference)
Do any of you guys have experience dealing with a similar problem? Thanks!
