2.5 Backup of Data

The system hardware and manipulator configuration data are saved in a backup file that
can be used to restore the whole system.
■ Save a backup data of your project and system settings in a floppy disk while
the Control Unit operates properly. Then, keep the floppy disk in case of
damage to the data in HDD. Be sure to back up the latest data whenever you
change the project and system settings.
If the latest data is not backed up, it takes a lot of time to restore the robot
system data once the robot system has a trouble. The robot system data after
the trouble may fail to be backed up. Even if the robot system data is backed
up successfully, the backed up data is unreliable and the robot system data
cannot be restored completely with it.
CAUTION
■ Do not restore the backup data in any other system. The data includes the
original configuration of the system. If the data is restored in the other system,
the system may function improperly or EPSON RC+ may fail to start up.
If EPSON RC+ is downgraded and its version is different even though the
backup data is for the same system, an error may occur and the data may fail
to be restored.
For EPSON RC+, you can save and restore the system configuration using the MKVER
and SETVER commands. Before servicing the system, you should execute MKVER and
store the system configuration on a floppy disk. If required, you can use SETVER to
restore previously stored data.
When you attempt to make backup copies of the system configurations using the MKVER
NOTE
and SETVER commands, the configuration data in the following tabs cannot be backed up.
