    Hello XianRen,
     

    The typical solution for this type of application is to have the RAPID modules/programs on a remote mounted disk and then load them as needed into memory of the robot controller.  This can be very practical when the programs have very large numbers of targets (over 10,000) as in CNC programs and you may need to break up the program into chunks that fit into the memory of the S4C controller.

     

    Remote mounting is normally done via the FTP and the NTFS options, but I don't know if you have those in your controller right now.

     

    Otherwise you can use the RAP protocol to send over the files as needed and then also use the RAP protocol to load them into memory.    Sending messages from a PC to the S4C controller over RAP takes a bit of programming, it would be easier if the disk was remote mounted and you use RAPID instructions to load instead.

     

    Kind Regards.
