3 1/2″ Floppy

Yesterday learned how to backup the controller onto the 3 1/2″ floppy drive (File -> Archive -> All) .KRC creates an “archive.zip” file which I sent to Bill at Kuka. Luckily we have a couple of PCs left around the office with floppy drives so after several acts of the Deprecated Technology God I was able to get the archive on the server so I could email it.

Instructions from Bill are to copy files from the D: partition replacing files on the C: drive. Had to do it all in Windows Explorer, not the controller interface (remembering Windows keyboard commands comes in handy). The idea is to replace the files in these folders:

C:\KRC\Roboter\Krc\R1\Mada\*.*
C:\KRC\Roboter\Krc\Steu\Mada\*.*

With files of the same name from these folders:

D:\KRC1_CD\INTERNAT\MADA\KRC2\KR360_2\FLOOR\R1\*.*
D:\KRC1_CD\INTERNAT\MADA\KRC2\KR360_2\FLOOR\STEU\*.*

Bill also sent this info pertaining specifically to our robot and cabinet:
