1.1. About HRFileServer​

 

HRFileServer is an Window PC software that supports remote file (mainly JOB) copying according to the LOADF/SAVEF statement in Hyundai Robot Hi5 controller.

 

Hi5 controller can store several job programs. You can make the filenames with JOB number ranging 0001~9999, and in each JOB maximum 9999 steps can be stored. But it does not mean that you can store 9999 X 9999 steps. Because there is limit *1) in file storage of Hi5 controller, as you store large sized job programs and pose files, the limit could be exceeded.

*1) Hi5 controller can store about 15,000 steps (max) in case of 6~8 axes configuration.

 

 

When there are so many large JOB programs that they cannot be stored together, you can make use of TP’s built-in flash memory, USB memory mounted on TP, or external PC connected with Ethernet as an auxiliary storage. Massive amount of job programs or pose files can be stored in the auxiliary storage and loaded to Hi5 controller’s main-board just in time they needed.

 

LOADF and SAVEF is robot language instruction executing automatic copying between auxiliary storage and main board. The following section explains the syntax and concept of the two instructions. When LOADF and SAVEF instructions executes, Hi5 main board send an event containing the command and parameters into the auxiliary storage. The auxiliary storage does the file copying between itself and Hi5 main board via Ethernet.

 

When you specify TP or USB as the source (or target) location, TP software copies the files, so other preparations are not needed. But, if you specify EXT(external PC), the Hi5 controller should be connected to the external PC via Ethernet, and in this PC, HRFileServer should be listening LOADF or SAVEF event and copying files.

 

 

One HRFileServer can do file service for several Hi5 controllers in process. That is, you may install only one PC as a file server for several robots. (There is no software limit in maximum number of supporting robot.) And, simultaneous LOADF, SAVEF events from multiple robots can be processed.

 

 

Caution: Don’t connect more than one HRFileServer to a Hi5 controller.
