Backup(Robot -> Pc) - Mitsubishi Electric MELFA CR750 Series User Manual

15.1. Backup(Robot -> PC)
You can save information in a robot controller to a file in the computer.
Use the backup function while RT ToolBox2 connected to the robot controller.
There are two methods for saving data as follows.
<1> Saving data from one robot controller.
<2> Saving data by batch processing from all robot controllers which connected with this software.
(Note that this function can be used with Version 1.3 or later of this software.)
Caution
Cautions for backups
When backing up system status variable values and program external variable values, switch the
robot controller power Off, then On again, then perform the backup operations.
The files BKUP.SYS and MECHA.SYS are automatically created in the specified folder. These files
record the saved robot controller mechanical information and save format. Be careful. If you delete
or rewrite these files, this may make it impossible to restore them to the robot controller.
The objective of backup data is to back up robot controller information. However, with this software
version 1.2 or later, it is possible to open a backed up program with program editor. Please refer to
"8.2.4 Opening a program in the backup data" in this manual for details.
Caution
Cautions when backup is interrupted
Backup again when the communication fault occurs while backing up or the backup is interrupted
clicking the "cancel" button.
"[NG]" is added to the head of folder name when the backup is interrupted. Do not restore the
backup folder because the folder's information is imperfect. There is a possibility that the controller
doesn't start when restoring is continued. When you select the folder whose name has "[NG]" when
restoring, the warning dialog as follows is displayed. Select "No" normally.
This function is available from RT ToolBox2 Ver.1.3.1 or later.
