Hello,

I have to work on a IRB1400, I have allready worked on ABB product (ABB 6400,6400R,6600, so S4C,S4C+ and S5) but i’ve got a problem here, i can’t open a serial link (the function “Open “sio1:”,iodev1Bin;” is not recognized.).

Something strange is the name of the proc in proc.cfg file (PROC:CFG\_1.0:🙂 i usually have allmost CFG\_1.0:3:1: or xxx4:0:, is that normal ?

Is that a problem of revision of the system? The problem is that i can’t find the system disks that give me the possibility to reinstall it and the way to do it (with the maintenance codes to be typped before restarting)

Help me, please.

Denis

Hi  
I guess the reason you can’t use serialport commands is that you don’t have the option for serial communication (think it’s called Basic CommWare if it’s a M94).  
Get in contact with your ABB salesmen to buy an upgrade

Depending on what version of BaseWare/RobotWare you are running in the controller the header will have different version numbers so in your case it’s normal.

Thank’s a lot for your sharp answer.

Another question, i can’t make a backup of this robot.Perhaps it was not allready implemented. What i do is:  
-I go in the maintenance area, and in the menu i only got “save as” witch save the archive’s log.

In the “view” menu i only got

- 1 Archive
- (info sytem)
- (test system)
- 4 …

Is that normal ?

See you

Hi  
The backup function wasn’t implemented then. So you need to save everything manual.
