Hi everybody…

I’m new in ABB robot handling. I got a suggestion to remove the hdd (in the CPU unit) after final programming and back it up using drive imaging software. So that we could easily recover the system in any case of system corrupt problems.

Has anyone ever experienced this way? Are there any resulting impact or damage when i do this? What should i consider and pay much attention before attempting this idea?

regards,

H-day

No problems at all.. Be sure that the controller is turned off and once u done wid ur work, place it back the Flash card(HDD)
