Chapter 7: Installation of controller software
7.0.1 Loading system software
General The robot system may delivered with or without system software. When the system is not
delivered with software, this must be downloaded in one of a number of ways.
Software installed
on delivery
If the robot controller is ordered with the software installed on delivery, the controller soft-
ware and settings are already stored in the storage memory and the system is ready to use.
Software not
installed on
delivery
If the robot controller is ordered and delivered without software or if you want to reconfigure
your system, the RobInstall tool must be used to install the controller software. The RobIn-
stall tool is included on the RobotWare CD-ROM (see section "RobotWare CD-ROM"). The
RobInstall tool can be used both for creation of the controller software and for downloading
it to the controller system.

ory in three ways as shown in the figure above.
• using floppy disks,
• using Ethernet connected direct to the IO computer (IOC) service outlet on the front of
the controller cubicle,
• using Ethernet connected via a local area network (LAN) to the main computer (MC).
