Adding robot to existing system

bhurst

I am trying to add a robot system to an exisiting system. When I try to drop in a quick system, this exception is thrown (RobotStudio .NET exception: Exception of type 'ABBInternal.Controller.SystemNotCreatedException' was thrown.
============================================
Base exception: SystemNotCreatedException
Exception of type 'ABBInternal.Controller.SystemNotCreatedException' was thrown.
   at ABBInternal.Controller.ConfigurationLogic.CreateSystemFromKeyFile(String keyPath, String systemPath, String robotwarePath)
   at ABBInternal.StationManagement.SystemGallerySupport.btn_ExecuteCommand(Object sender, ExecuteCommandEventArgs e)
   at ABB.Robotics.RobotStudio.Environment.CommandBarButton.RaiseExecuteCommand(ExecuteCommandReason reason))

When trying to create a new system from the layout, it's telling me my media pool directory is invalid, although this is the correct media pool folder.(shown below)

 

And if anyone has a suggestion for an easier way to insert a new robot into an existing system I am up open for them.

If you want to modify an existing system, you should use System Builder. Do not forget to I-start the system after modification to activate your changes. Since the I-start will blow you program and configuration away, a backup is good to have also.
