6. Firmware Update

This chapter describes the firmware upgrade procedure and data file initialization when
firmware or manipulator configuration errors cause Manipulator startup or operation failure.

6.1 Updating Firmware

Firmware (software stored in non-volatile memory) and data files necessary to control the
Manipulator are pre-installed in the Manipulator. Controller configuration set from EPSON
RC+ 7.0 is always saved in the Manipulator.
Firmware is supplied by CD-ROM as needed. Please contact the supplier of your region for
information.
You must use a PC running EPSON RC+ 7.0 connected to a Manipulator with USB to update
the Manipulator firmware. Firmware cannot be updated with an Ethernet connection.
NOTE
When installing the firmware Ver.7.5.0.x or later, be sure to use the PC which EPSON RC+

7.0 Ver.7.5.0 or later is installed.

6.2 Firmware Upgrade Procedure

The firmware upgrade procedure is described as follows:
■
DO NOT unplug the USB cable, or turn OFF the Manipulator or the
development PC during upgrade of the firmware. Doing so may result in
malfunction of the robot system.
CAUTION
(1) Connect the development PC and the Manipulator with a USB cable.
(2) Turn ON the Manipulator.
(3) Insert the "firmware CD-ROM" in the development PC CD-ROM drive.
(4) Execute "CtrlsetupT.exe". The following dialog appears.

(the firmware cannot be changed with an Ethernet connection.)
(Do not start the development software EPSON RC+ 7.0 until the firmware upgrade is
completed.)
