Data Storage - ABB BullsEye Applications Manual

5.2 Data storage

Storage
The data is stored in a text file on the robot controller. The format of the file
represents a RAPID module allowing BullsEye to read the data into the controller
when it needs to access the saved data.
The file is stored in the following directory, with a name like, $HOME\BullsEye®
\BE_Data_T_ROB1.sys, where T_ROB1 is the name of the task. Each robot task
that is using BullsEye will have its own data file. The directory path may not be
changed.
Automatic save
The data file is automatically saved after each BullsEye update action. It is
automatically read before each BullsEye check action. If the file is missing, BullsEye
assumes that no saved data is available and will force the user to execute a
BullsEye setup routine.
Backup
The data file will be included in the backup when a system backup is ordered. A
system restored from a backup will retain the stored data.

WARNING
BullsEye uses a temporary system module called BE_Data to store and recover
setup information. For this reason, it is not permitted to have another module
loaded in the robot motion task called BE_Data, or BullsEye will be unable to
save and retrieve data.
