Remoted Mounted Disk s4 controller

vissermatthijs

Hello,

I am a mechatronics student from the Netherlands and for a project am trying to make a cnc milling machine out of the IRB 6400 with S4 controller. The problems that I have are:

1. The controller only supports floppydisks so complex cnc programs can not be stored (they are to big). 
2. My approach to this problem is to setup a remote mounted disk and dripfeed the robot. The s4 controller only seports nsf so I downloaded a nsf server which is now currently running on my pc.

The robot configurations is as follow:

Application Protocol: 
    Type: NSF
    Transfer Protocol: TCPIP1
    Server Address: 192.168.125.81
    Trusted: Yes
    Local Path: pc:
    Server Path: C/Robot  
 Name: TCPIP1
    Type: TCP/IP
    PhyChannel: LAN
    Local Address: 192.168.125.83
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

On my pc I configured the network as follow:

In the internet protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties:

IP address           192.168.125.81
Subnet mask       255.255.255.0
Default gateway  192.168.125.80

And for the NSF server I have given the path  c:Robot

On the teach-pendant I get the following errors:

trusted nsf server lost
flailed to mount C/Robot to remote mounted disk error 'nsf0'

I can ping the robot from my command prompt (so there is a connection).

Any information is welcome! And maybe there is a other approach?
