[543] Ethernet Services
32 Product Specification RobotWare Options for BaseWare OS 4.0
[543] Ethernet Services
FTP
This option includes the same functionality as described for Ethernet Services NFS
except that the protocol used for remote mounted disc functionality is FTP.
The aspect of authorization differs between NFS and FTP.
Examples of applications:
- All programs for the robot are stored in the PC. When a new part is to be
produced, i.e. a new program is to be loaded, the program can be read directly
from the hard disk of the PC. This is done by a manual command from the teach
pendant or an instruction in the program. If the option RAP Communication or
FactoryWare Interface is used, it can also be done by a command from the PC
(without using the ramdisk as intermediate storage).
- Several robots are connected to a PC via Ethernet. The control program and the
user programs for all the robots are stored on the PC. A software update or a
program backup can easily be executed from the PC.
NFS
Information in mass storage, e.g. the hard disk in a PC, can be read directly from the
robot using the NFS protocol. The robot control program can also be booted via
Ethernet instead of using diskettes. This requires Ethernet hardware in the robot.
