Failed to initialize FW upgrade Framework

Thomas J

Just installed RS5.12.02 on customer computer, VC Starts and all seems ok until you try to syncronize, that fails with an unexpected .NET error - and when ever you start ANY vc - (tried many different robot models) it reports the following:

 

IRB660_180kg_3.15m_1:

Failed to initialize FW upgrade framework 10/21/2009 3:30:47 PM Controllers 

 

See this file for display of error:

 

webwiz/41/FW_Upgrade_Framework.zip

 

Can create a path in the staiton, but it will not syncronize!

Hi Thomas,

 

Is the error related to a specific version of RobotWare? Have you tried other versions of RobotWare, like RW5.12.01?

 

Do you see any difference using

* Template system
* System from Layout

* System builder (ensure that you actively select matching drive unit)

 

Kind regards,

Henrik

Hi Henrik,

 

No difference when trying any o fthe above, have not tried using 5.12.01...

 

Customer informed me that his operating system is Vista Media - could this be the problem?

(most likely since it is not a supported operating system)

 

But the VC Starts no problem, also - can not edit or view RAPID in Offline TAB - unexpected error whenever you try...

Hi Thomas,

I doubt that the OS is the problem. I would like you to log a PDD about the problem. Please include

* an .rspag file with a failing system

* a support log generated with Full Scan

* a saved event log from the VC

 

Kind regards,
