6. Firmware Update
This chapter describes the firmware upgrade procedure and data file initialization when
firmware or manipulator configuration errors cause Manipulator startup or operation
failure.
6.1 Updating Firmware
Firmware (software stored in non-volatile memory) and data files necessary to control the
Manipulator are preinstalled in the Manipulator. Controller configuration set from
EPSON RC+ 7.0 is always saved in the Manipulator.
Firmware is supplied by CD-ROM as needed. Please contact us for information.
You must use a PC running EPSON RC+ 7.0 connected to a Manipulator with USB to
update the Manipulator firmware. Firmware cannot be updated with an Ethernet
connection.
6.2 Firmware Upgrade Procedure
The firmware upgrade procedure is described as follows:
CAUTION
PC during upgrade of the firmware. Doing so may result in malfunction of the
robot system.
(1) Connect the development PC and the Manipulator with a USB cable (the firmware
cannot be changed with an Ethernet connection).
(2) Turn ON the Manipulator. (Do not start the development software EPSON RC+ 7.0
until the firmware upgrade is completed.)
(3) Insert the “firmware CD-ROM” in the development PC CD-ROM drive
(4) Execute “CtrlsetupT.exe”. The following dialog appears.
(5) Select the <Upgrade> option button and click the <Next> button.
