Backup & Restore
Some of the data used by the teach pendant can be backed up and restored.
The name of the backup file must consist of at most 20 alphanumeric characters. The only special character allowed is the underscore, and the name cannot have blank space at the front or back.
The file extension for add-on backups is append, and the file extension for overwrite backups is replaced.
Restore is only available for the same software version and the same robot model.
When a backup file including a Workcell item is restored, all Workcell items that can be disabled are disabled.
If the item to be restored is restored to a robot without the corresponding license, restoration is performed normally, but any items with licenses are not displayed.
In the case of an add-on restore, if the backup file contains a Workcell item, Task and Modbus created at the same time, each of them is overwritten with the item, Task and Modbus to be restored. If an identical system parameter name is present, the restore process cannot proceed.
If the maximum allowed number of additions for working space, tool weight, tool shape, watermark, user coordinates, end effector and system parameter items are exceeded, the restore process is stopped.
Item | Maximum Number of Additions |
Workspace | 10 for each item |
Tool Weight | 50 |
Tool Shape | 50 |
User Coordinates | 20 |
End Effector | 50 |
System Parameters | 50 |
If a task with an identical name is present on the Teach Pendant to be restored during task add-on restore, the serial number of the robot used to backup the task is added to the name of the restored task.
If an item from one of the categories below is included in the overwrite restore, the items in each of the existing categories are deleted and the back up data is restored.
Category | Range |
Workspace | All working spaces (space limits, collaborative zones, collision avoidance zones, collision sensitivity reduction zones, tool orientation limit zones, user defined zones) |
Tool Weight | All tool weights |
Tool Shape | All tool shapes |
Robot Installation Pose | All robot installation poses |
User Coordinates | All user coordinates |
End Effector | All end effectors |
Machine | All machines |
Peripherals | All peripherals (Smart Vision Module and welding condition are excluded) |
System Parameters | All system parameters |
Task Builder | All Task Builder tasks |
Task Writer | All Task Writer tasks |
Modbus | All Modbus Slaves |
