This blog aims to provide reader a tutorial on how to export a program from Robot Studio and import it to ABB Robot’s Controller. This procedure is separated into 3 parts.
- Hardware Preparation
- Exporting Program
- Importing to Controller
Hardware Preparation
First, we’ve to connect our laptop to the controller using LAN wire. Connect the wire to the X2 LAN port on the controller.
Exporting Program
In this tutorial we will assume that you already finished the programming the simulation robot and ready to export it to the controller so information on how to program the simulation robot will not be covered.
- click Controller on the tool bar
- open the RAPID to access the program module
IRB1200_5_60 [Robot model] → T_ROB → Module - right click at the Module and Save Module As…
Importing to Controller
After exporting the Module, we’ll import it to the controller. We still need to use the Robot Studio for this process.
- First, we’ll have to add the ABB Robot controller to the Robot Studio by going to the Controller on the tool bar.
- Click Add controller → Add Controller…
3. Select the shown IP of the controller (normally, only one will appear). After adding the controller it will show up like this.
4. Select the controller and click File Transfer.
5. Then drag the Module file from the directory in your laptop to the directory in the Flex Pendant
6. Then go to the flex pendant and select Program Editor → Module
7. Lastly, click File → Load Module… and select the imported module from the directory you selected
8. After this, the program you wrote in the Robot Studio will be successfully transferred to the controller and you’re ready to run it.
