6.2.7 Controller fails to start
Description
If the controller fails to start, the FlexPendant is not operational.
Function description
The robot controller always runs in one of the following two modes:
•
Normal operation mode (a user-created system is selected to run)
•
RobotWare Installation Utilities mode (advanced maintenance mode)
In rare occasions, a serious error (in the software or the configuration of the installed
system), may prevent the controller from starting properly in the normal operation
mode. A typical case is when a controller is restarted after a network configuration
change, causing the controller to be non-responsive from FlexPendant, RobotStudio,
or FTP. To restore the robot controller from this situation, the controller can be
forced to start in RobotWare Installation Utilities mode.
Forcing startup of the RobotWare Installation Utilities mode
Repeat the following action two times in a row:
1 Turn on the main power switch.
2 Wait for approximately 15 seconds.
Note
The Computer LED should be in flashing red state.
3 Turn off the main power switch.
The installed system is de-selected and in the next startup, the RobotWare
Installation Utilities mode is started.
This has no effect if the controller is already in RobotWare Installation Utilities
mode.
Note
Force starting the RobotWare Installation Utilities mode will not affect the files
in the directories belonging to the installed system.
