Configuring jobs for Stäubli CS8 and CS9 robots
The FTP upload is used for the automatic backup of Stäubli CS8/CS9 projects.
- Create a job with the FTP upload type.
-
Go to the FTP Settings section.
-
In the FTP server field, enter the IP address of the FTP server you want to connect to.
- In the Connection type menu, select the connection type to be used for communication.
-
WodFtp is set as the default FTP client library.
Info
Since FTP is an old protocol, the default library, WodFtp, may not support all FTP server variants. However, several configuration options are available. If your specific server type is not listed in octoplant, contact our support team for assistance.
-
Enter the communication port in the Port field. The default is port 21.
- Select the appropriate checkbox to use passive FTP.
- Select the Follow Symlinks checkbox to back up files located in directories accessed via symbolic links.
- In the Username and Password fields, enter the credentials used to access the FTP server. Depending on the configuration of your FTP server, this step is optional. An upload can also be performed without a user name or password.
-
If the data is stored in a subdirectory of the FTP server, enter the path of the subdirectory in the Subdirectory field. We recommend backing up at least the contents of the following subdirectories (if available):
Subdirectory Contents /usr/app Additional function added to the system. Should be backed up to know which system needs to be reinstalled. /usr/applicom (only CS8/CS8C): Fieldbus configuration /usr/configs Robot arm configuration, fieldbus configuration /usr/nodes Path alias /usr/templates Application templates /usr/usrapp Customized applications and data -
You can check whether the login to the FTP server is possible with the specified login data by selecting the Check button. If the check is not successful, the job will also fail.
Info
You may need to enable the port set in step 3 in your firewall.
