5. Backup and Restore
5.1 What is the Backup Controller Function
The Manipulator configuration set by EPSON RC+ 7.0 can be stored with the “Backup
Controller” function.
The Manipulator settings can be restored easily using the data previously stored with
“Backup Controller” after a configuration mistake or Manipulator problem.
Be sure to execute “Backup Controller” before changing the Manipulator setup, before
maintenance, or after teaching.
For some problems, backup may not be available before maintenance has to be performed.
Be sure to backup the data after making changes before problems occur.
“Controller Status Storage” is one of the VT series Manipulator functions. It saves the
Controller setup data same as “Backup Controller.”
There data can be used as the backup data at restoring.
The methods for “Controller Status Storage” are as follows:
A : “Controller status storage to USB memory”
For details, refer to “VT series Manual VT6L Manipulator 8. Memory Port”.
B : “Export Controller Status function” in EPSON RC+ 7.0.
For details, refer to the following manual.
