Upgrading Flexloader Vision - ABB FlexLoader Vision Product Manual

12.3 Upgrading FlexLoader Vision

Upgrading the software
The version numbering system for FlexLoader Vision follows the
Major.Minor.Revision pattern, e.g. FlexLoader Vision5.0.1 indicates that 5 is a major
upgrade, 0 is a minor upgrade and 1 is a revision.
If the upgrade only involves a revision to the current version, all you need to do is
replace FlexLoaderVision.exe. This file can be found in the bin directory of
FlexLoader Vision, normally D:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics
IT\FlexLoaderVision\Bin.
In the case of major or minor upgrades, the database and configuration file must
also be updated. In most cases, however, a complete new installation is required,
which may also mean that the details must be taught again. For more information
on this, see the version history of FlexLoader Vision.
Restoring a backup of FlexLoader Vision
To restore FlexLoader Vision from a backup, click the Settings icon in FlexLoader
Vision and select the Service tab. Click Restore and enter the path to the backup
file. When the backup has been restored, FlexLoader Vision must be restarted.
For more information, see
If the restore operation fails and FlexLoader Vision cannot be restarted at all, you
need to do a manual backup, where the contents in the backup directory are copied
directly to the FlexLoader Vision directory. For more information on this, see
Manually restoring a backup on page
Robot backups are restored via the robot operator panel.
