5. Firmware Update

This chapter describes the firmware upgrade procedure and data file initialization when

firmware or Robot configuration errors cause Controller startup or operation failure.

5.1 Updating Firmware

Firmware (software stored in non-volatile memory) and data files necessary to control the

Controller and the Robot are preinstalled in the Controller. Controller configuration set

from EPSON RC+ 5.0 is always saved in the Controller.

Controller firmware is supplied by CD-ROM as needed. Please contact us for

information.

You must use a PC running EPSON RC+ 5.0 connected to a Controller with USB to

update the Controller firmware. Firmware cannot be updated with an Ethernet

connection.

5.2 Firmware Upgrade Procedure

The firmware upgrade procedure is described as follows:

(1)

Connect the development PC and the Controller with a USB cable (the firmware

cannot be changed with an Ethernet connection).

(2)

Turn ON the Controller. (Do not start the development software EPSON RC+ 5.0

until the firmware upgrade is completed.)

(3)

Insert the “firmware CD-ROM” in the development PC CD-ROM drive.

(4)

Execute “Ctrlsetup.exe”. The following dialog appears.

(5)

Select the <Upgrade> option button and click the <Next> button.
