Transfer of parameters between the robot and PIB
The configuration parameters are sent from the robot's system parameter memory to
the PIB each time the system voltage is switched on. If the parameters are equal to
those already in the PIB no writing to the PIB is carried out.
If the parameters in PIB differ to those being sent from the robot, for example, with
the replacement of PIB, the parameters that differ in PIB are written, which means
that the new PIB gets the same configuration as the previous one.
System definition If the parameter “System definition”, is changed, which involves a change of the
I/O type for PIB, the parameter transfer takes place in two steps. First the redefini-
tion of the new I/O unit in the robot takes place, which requires a restart.
During the next start the transfer to the PIB takes place and in order for the param-
eter to apply to the PIB another restart of the robot is required. Thus, in this case,
two restarts are required. The second time it is sufficient with a “warm boot” of the
system.
In order for the new parameters to apply the system must be restarted twice.
