Image Setup

Our WAAM cell uses Software Version DN3.17.00A(US)-00, and this info can be found under SYSTEM.SYS file. RPI box includes the image flash tool from Yaskawa, and vcredist_x86.exe is required to be installed and included in the folder. mk_vx_cf.exe is the tool to burn the CF card, need to check Set boot loader and Delete file as shown below.

Load Backup to CF Image

DX200 only recognizes the CF card it has always been using. Swapping CF card from other controllers or a brand new burnt CF card will result in Total Checksum Error due to different configurations. In order to load backup file CMOS.bin onto the CF card, the controller needs to be in One Time Management Mode, which requires a password depending on the system and CF card serial ID.

CF card serial ID could be looked up under {SYSTEM} -> {VERSION} -> {UTILITY} -> {CF Serial ID}. Copy this and zip CMOS.bin and send to [email protected] to acquire the one time passcode.

Once in the One Time Management Mode, make sure the CMOS.bin is included in the teachpendant USB. Load the backup by {EX. MEMORY} -> {LOAD} ->{CMOS}. Loading process takes 2~5 minutes, and perform a FSU Reset under {FILE} -> {INITIALIZE} -> {Functional Safety Board FLASH Reset} after the flashing finished.

Compatability

CF card with 256MB size from other brands also work, directly from .img clone of the vendor's CF card. However it is not confirmed if other CF cards' serial ID would be able to generate One-Time passcode from Yaskawa, when setting up from scratch.
