5. Firmware Update
This chapter describes the firmware upgrade procedure and data file initialization when
firmware or Robot configuration errors cause Controller startup or operation failure.
5.1 Updating Firmware
Firmware (software stored in non-volatile memory) and data files necessary to control the
Controller and the Robot are preinstalled in the Controller. Controller configuration set
from EPSON RC+ 5.0 is always saved in the Controller.
Controller firmware is supplied by CD-ROM as needed. Please contact us for
information.
You must use a PC running EPSON RC+ 5.0 connected to a Controller with USB to
update the Controller firmware. Firmware cannot be updated with an Ethernet
connection.
5.2 Firmware Upgrade Procedure
The firmware upgrade procedure is described as follows:
(1) Connect the development PC and the Controller with a USB cable (the firmware
cannot be changed with an Ethernet connection).
(2) Turn ON the Controller. (Do not start the development software EPSON RC+ 5.0
until the firmware upgrade is completed.)
(3) Insert the “firmware CD-ROM” in the development PC CD-ROM drive.
(4) Execute “Ctrlsetup.exe”. The following dialog appears.
(5) Select the <Upgrade> option button and click the <Next> button.
