How did you create the virtual controller?
Does it have all the options that the real controller has?
Good point Graeme, like Force control, in particular.
Unfortunately I was not the one who created the virtual controller, my best guess would be the integrators from many years ago. How would I go about creating a brand new virtual controller?
Create from backup, which version of robotware? That will determine whether you use system builder or installation manager.

Looks like I’ll have to use System Builder. Thanks for your help
You are welcome. I kind of thought that might be the case because you mentioned “years ago”.
Was trying to create a new controller using System Builder this morning but was confronted with the error “The Media Pool does not contain the additional Option: RWMACHININGFCGUI. A system cannot be created from this back up.” So I checked the file directory and found an XML file that referenced the RWMACHININGFCGUI that indeed pointed to a place in my backup folder that did not exist. I found the correct directory on my real controller, and attempted to transfer the files over using File Transfer but I get “Access is Denied” whenever I try to transfer anything. I’ve been finding some posts on this forum that indicate the simulation is not possible for stations that use Force Control. Is this true? Why can I not transfer files from my controller to my PC to correct the error i’m getting from System Builder?
Hello,
What is the path in controller?
Is it located in Home?
I was able to transfer the file I needed by logging in via an FTP client. I successfully created a new system, however it appears that I also need to create a new station to go with my system as all of my previous program modules and even the model of the robot itself has now disappeared. I imagine its just a matter of copying the files in the previous systems directory over to the new one.
