14-3 Updating the System

YAMAHA may request, on occasion, that you update the system in your equipment. The following steps describe how to update the system.

Before updating the system, you must set up a system that allows communications between the controller and a PC (personal computer). Use a communication cable which conforms to the specifi- cations listed in "11-2 Communication Cable Specifications".

(1)First, make a backup copy of the necessary data using a memory card or POPCOM software, because the data in the controller might be lost or destroyed while updating the system.

(2)With the controller started up, type "@SETUP" and press the Return (Enter) key.

(3)When a response "OK" is returned from the controller, turn off the power to the controller.

(4)Unplug the EXT.CN connector from the controller.

(5)With the EXT.CN connector still unplugged, turn on the power to the controller again.

(6)The controller enters the system setup mode and the YAMAHA copyright message appears on the PC screen.

(7)Type "@UPDATA" and press the Return (Enter) key.

(8)The controller then returns READY message, so transfer the new system data. (It will take about 5 minutes to transfer all the data.)

(9)An "OK" response is returned when the system transfer is complete. Now turn off the power to the controller.

(10)Plug in the EXT.CN connector.

(11)Turn on the power to the controller again. Type "@?VER" and press the Return (Enter) key. Then make sure that the controller version is updated.

(12)Initialize all data and then return the data you backed up into the controller.

c CAUTION

•The controller must remain in emergency stop until updating of the system is finished. (Specifically, terminal No. 1 (EMG 1) and terminal No. 2 (EMG 2) of EXT. CN should be left open.)

•Before starting the system updating, we strongly recommend for safety reasons that the robot cable be disconnected from the controller.
