First I will explain my situation: - I have latest RS without license and expired. - First I connect to the service port and I can not even connect to FTP then I change IP like the picture below and it works with FTP server. And then I scanned the controller, but I never find it. My robot’s configuration is : Prepared selection(s): Serial no 14-26752 0927 System Pack 4.0 Selection(s) setup from 3HAC6811-2.21 39-1 BaseWare OS 413-1 English IRB type 1400 1400 Y M2000 No Ext Axes 148-1 FactoryWare Interface 8-1 Advanced Functions 230-1 Multitasking 193-1 IO Plus I scanned both by using RS and network scanner. Is there any chance because my RS is expired. ---

Hi Can you please explain how this is related to RAB? Isn’t this question better asked in the Robot Studio part of the forum? ---

This is probably due to Firewall/Security settings on the PC. There are other forum topics on this and also an instruction in the Release Notes. ---

Hi, RobotStudio 5.xx only supports IRC5 controllers. Judging from your options list, it seems that you have a S4, S4C, or S4C+ system (“System Pack 4.0”). You will be able to use FTP, but there is no tool similar to RobotStudio 5.xx available for S4, S4C, or S4C+ controllers. The exception is RobInstall which is used to create and download a new system to the controller.
