Introduction

When using MotoSim or when working on the controller what files and data can be copied back and forth between them?

Below will be a list of the types data that can be copied between MotoSim and a controller and the process for copying the data.

Types of data

The list of data types can be transferred between MotoSim and a Controller is quite long. Here we will focus on the most common and important types of data that are used. Later, there will be a full list of all data types.

Data Types	Descriptions
JOB DATA:	Job files (programs)
TOOL DATA:	Defines the TCP, mass, Cg and Inertia of the tool
USER COORDINATE DATA:	User Frame data
VARIABLE DATA:	Variable data
TOOL INTERFERE DATA:	Functional Safety Files
AXIS RANGE LIMIT DATA:
AXIS SPEED MONITOR DATA:
ROBOT RANGE LIMIT DATA:
SPEED LIMIT DATA:
TOOL ANGLE MONITOR DATA:
APPR WARNING BUZZER DATA:
SYSTEM BACKUP (CMOS.BIN)	This one file will recreate the entire controller (minus 3D models of the cell) in MotoSim. It is only one-way…from controller to MotoSim. It is also used as a general backup…in case of emergency or controller firmware upgrades.

How to Transfer the Data

To use the CMOS.BIN file from the real-world controller:

Create a new simulation
Create a new controller ("using file")
Confirm the selections and the cell will be replicated minus any 3D world cell data.

To copy files from MotoSim to a real-world controller:

In the virtual pendant cursor over to EX. MEMORY and select SAVE
Use the arrow keys to move to the section of data to copy the files from (EX: JOBS DATA) and press the spacebar.
Arrow down to each job to copy and press the spacebar again to place a star by it
Press enter to copy the file(s) to the “Storage Card”

Pressing the folder button opens it in windows, where the data can be manually copied to a flash drive, which in turn can be inserted into the real controller.

Loading files into MotoSim or the real-world controller is simply the reverse

In the virtual pendant cursor over to EX. MEMORY and select LOAD
When loading job data make sure the SERVOS are ON
When load system data make sure the SERVOS are OFF
