10-8 Using the internal flash ROM

When you set parameters using the TPB or POPCOM (options) or via the RS-232C, the parameter data stored in the RAM inside the SRCP is rewritten and the robot operates based on this parameter data written in the RAM. The SRCP also has an internal flash ROM for backup of this parameter data in the RAM. The parameter data backed up in the flash ROM can be loaded back into the RAM.

NOTE

The SRCP system backup battery retains the data in the RAM.

NOTE

The internal flash ROM can be used when the SRCP controller version is 24.10 or later and the TPB version is 12.51 or later.

There are two methods for loading the parameter data backed up in the flash ROM to the RAM.

(1)Manual load using the TPB or POPCOM (options)

Use the TPB or POPCOM to manually load the parameter data stored in the flash ROM into the RAM.

(2)Auto loading at SRCP power-on (Auto-load function)

The auto-load function automatically loads the data backed up in the flash ROM onto the RAM, each time power to the SRCP is turned on. The auto-load function can be enabled or disabled when saving data onto the flash ROM.

c CAUTION

When the auto-load function is enabled, changes you make to parameter data in the RAM are rewritten by the parameter data in the flash ROM if you turn the SRCP off without saving the changes into the flash ROM.
