IRC 5 FTP Server

Robot Controller
1

We just received our first ABB robot with the IRC 5 controller.

On our older S4C controllers I had them all on the Lan and used an FTP client to upload program changes, download backups, etc.

I have placed the controller on the network and attempted to connect using my ftp client. I can’t find anywhere in the documentation what the ftp username/password is. When I attempt to connect I get the error “530 Login Failed.” and can’t connect.

Could anyone tell me what the login info is?

Thanks

You can use any non-blank user name and password.

Yeah, thats what I thought as well, since that is how all of the older S4C controllers are set up.

When I attempt to connect to the IRC5 however, I get the login failed.

Here is what I see in my ftp client when I try a non blank user name and pwd. In this case abb and abb.

Status: Connecting to 10.110.9.34 …

Hi

If you don’t have the option “pc interface 616-1” you can only use the service connection.

Have you tryed the ftp in Robotstudio online on the service connection ?

That I have not. After reading some of the other posts I was feeling sort of sheepish, thinking that I better try the service port.

I will give it a shot and let you know what happened.

I have a feeling I am going to need to get that option installed. I like the functionality, and use it quite a bit. I wonder how much that little sucker is?

Okay, I have figured it out.

We had configured the UAS to provide different levels of access. I logged in to the FTP site using the credentials I gave to an administrator type account and away I went.

Now I have the functionality that I had been missing most.

I have looked, and I do not have the PC-interface option 616-1 and can still connect. Robot Studio Online does tell me it can’t connect when I try over the network because of the missing option. But as long as I have FTP I’ll be happy.

Thanks for the update.
