Contents Description

system in the robot control system.
2. Documentation On-line documentation for the RobInstall application and
the Controller Operating System Package.
3. Controller OS Package Controller Operating System Package for S4Cplus. This
package includes all the software needed to create the con-
troller operating system with any ordered options. Please
note that it is possible to install different releases with dif-
ferent versions of the same system package (see section
"Media Pool in the PC").
4. Test Signal Viewer A tool (created in LabView) for viewing MotionTest Signals
(oscilloscope function) and also for logging these signals.
5. FTP Client On the CD is also included a so called FTP client named
Voyager. Please note that this is not an ABB product but a
shareware program, which means that it can be installed
and used for a limited time, but that it has to be registered
for permanent use. Registering means that a certain fee
must be paid to the vendor.
The FTP client is used to transport files manually between
the PC and the robot controller storage memory. These
actions are carried out in the same way as in a file manager
or in Windows Explorer.
