Loading a Project (Program) or Updating PAC Files
If CAL_PP or a different program needs to be loaded into the controller from an external computer,
this may be done using the Web Interface.
Step Action
1.
In the Web Based Operator Interface, select Utilities/Backup and Restore.
2.
Click Start File Manager. It may be necessary to hold down the Control key to allow the pop-up
screen. An ftp directory screen will display. In the Page menu in Windows Internet Explorer,
select Open ftp site in Windows Explorer. Another screen will display showing several folders,
including Config and Projects.
3.
To load a Project, open the Projects folder and paste the Project folder into this area. There may
be several other projects (programs) loaded into this folder, which is stored in flash ram in the
controller. A project folder is a software folder than may have several files inside it. Load the
entire folder, not just the files inside.
4.
To load or update PAC files, open the Config folder and paste a backup copy of the PAC files into
the Config folder. These files will all have a .pac extension. The robot must be re-booted after
new PAC files are installed for them to take effect.
5.
Once the appropriate project (for example CAL_PP) has been loaded into flash memory, it must
then be loaded into dynamic memory in order to execute. See the section below on "Calibrating
the Robot: Setting the Encoder Zero Positions" for an example on how to load and execute the
CAL_PP program.
