LoadModuleFromFile return error

Developer Tools

I try to load a module to robot and get an error

First I put a the file to robot file system at HOME :

GetABBRobot().FileSystem.PutFile(“C:/TEMP/OPTITILE_PATH.mod”, “OPTITILE_PATH.mod”, true);

Then I try to load it to robot using :

bool loadResult = task.LoadModuleFromFile(“C:/Avi/Offline/Ecm/Abb/BMW3/bmw4/HOME/OPTITILE_PATH.mod”, ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.RapidLoadMode.Replace);

and get false at loadResult, when I am working with real robot

if I run the same code using simulator its work ok

Any one can help ?

thanks Avi

Hi Avi,

After copying file to robot can you load that module directly from robot’s home directory?

bool loadResult = task.LoadModuleFromFile(“HOME:/OPTITILE_PATH.mod”,ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.RapidLoadModule.Replace);

BR.

Hii avicohen,

Remember to write out which SDK you are using. This so that users only interested in one SDK doesn’t have to read about all the other ones. :laughing:

As Charon pointed out, your problem is that you are using a path to the C: drive and there is no C: drive on the controller, its root paths usually start with hd0a. Why that works on the VC is because it resides on a PC.

This is why if you use both virtual and real controllers its better to use relative environment handles. For instance look how it is handled in the Backup and Restore chapter.

By using the “string backupDir = “(BACKUP)$” + backupDirName;” line you would get different paths if its virtual or real, but it would both be pointing to the Backup folder on the controller. Same thing with HOME as per the File System Domain topic.

Hi John,

Thanks for the support.

I am working with PC SDK 5.14

What I am doing is : GetABBRobot().FileSystem.RemoteDirectory;

For that string I add : + “/” + modulename;

For real robot the directory is : /hd0a/66-70153_limpio/HOME

And for that path I try to do LoadModuleFromFile

What I find out that the module is loaded to robot, if the module contain new procedure I can see them on the robot

But the bool the the function return is “false” and I don?_Tt understand why ?

I tried to something like LoadModuleFromFile(“HOME:/” + modulename, ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.RapidLoadMode.Replace);

And get the same results, (module was loaded but the function return error)

Do you know something about it ?

Regards

Avi
