Deployment using FTP |
The general rule is that deployment using an FTP client should only be done during the development phase.
If deployment to a customer is done this way each controller has to be individually updated with assembly files as well as graphical and language resources. The organization of files in the robot controller file system is the responsibility of the application developer or the system integrator.
ProcedureFollow these steps to deploy your application using for example the File Manager of RobotStudio or an FTP client such as Ftp Voyager:
Step | Action |
|---|---|
1 | On the controller navigate to the system you want to update with the FlexPendant application. |
2 | Transfer the assembly, the proxy assembly and graphical resources used by the application to the system directory Home. |
3 | For multi-language support, in the Language directory create sub-directories for each language using the short name of the culture. |
4 | Create a tps sub-directory in each of these directories. |
5 | Copy each language resource to the tps folder of the corresponding culture. |
6 | Restart the FlexPendant. The custom application should now be accessible from the ABB menu. For more information on how to restart the FlexPendant but not the controller,see Restart the FlexPendant. |
