2.1 Introduction to the USB disk drive replacement kit
2 Introduction
2.1 Introduction to the USB disk drive replacement kit
Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the USB disk drive replacement kit.
Concept
The USB disk drive replacement kit is a complete packaged upgrade solution that
replaces the existing floppy disk drive units with the USB disk drive units. It allows for
the transfer of all the stored programs and data to a standard USB Flash Disk and
connection to a PC.
The USB disk drive replacement kit is a safer way of storing data. While programs
and data are among the most valuable parts of a robot system, they are often stored
in 3.5-inch floppy disks. Since the life expectancy of a floppy disk drive is less than
one-third of the rest of the robot system, there is every chance of it failing and corrupting
the stored programs and data. By using the USB disk drive replacement kit you can
safeguard the vital robot data.
Note
The USB disk drive replacement kit supports up to 100 virtual disks on each USB
Flash Disk. The desired virtual disk can be selected by changing the channel (00
to 99) using the Up and Down buttons on the front panel of the kit.

Note
Do not open the USB disk drive replacement kit. If opened, the warranty is void.
The USB disk drive replacement kit has a total of 6 jumpers inside (J1, J2, J3, J4,
J5, and J6).
• By factory settings, jumper pins 2 and 3 of J2 are short, while the other jumpers
are open.
• By default, jumper pins 1 and 2 of J5 are open.

3 Setting up the USB disk drive replacement kit
3.3 Using the USB disk drive replacement kit
Overview
The USB disk drive replacement kit is used to perform the following:
• Backup and restore. See Performing backup and restore using the USB disk
drive replacement kit on page 23.
• Boot or restart. See Booting the controller using the USB disk drive replacement
kit on page 23.
Performing backup and restore using the USB disk drive replacement kit
The following procedure describes performing backup and restore using the USB disk
drive replacement kit.
Note
You should have knowledge of performing backup and restore using the S4 and
S4C controllers having a Floppy Disk Drive (FDD).
Action Description
1 Install the USB kit in the controller. See Procedure for installing the USB disk drive
replacement kit on page 19.
The LED displays 00 which means the channel
00 is ready.
2 Connect the formatted USB Flash Disk to See Formatting the USB Flash Disk on
the USB port of the USB kit. page 20.
3 Perform backup and restore. The backup and restore method is the same
as in the S4 and S4C controllers using FDD.
See User’s Guide BaseWare OS 2.x for S4
controller.
See User’s Guide BaseWare OS 3.x for S4C
and S4C plus controller.
Booting the controller using the USB disk drive replacement kit
The following procedure describes booting the controller using the USB disk drive
replacement kit.
Note
You need to have knowledge of booting the S4 and S4C controllers having a Floppy
Disk Drive (FDD).
Action Description
1 Install the USB kit in the controller. See Procedure for installing the USB disk drive
replacement kit on page 19.
2 Connect the formatted USB Flash Disk to For information on formatting the USB Flash
the USB port of the computer. Disk, see Formatting the USB Flash Disk on
page 20.
3 Copy the robot boot disk data to the
formatted USB Flash Disk.
Continued
Action Description
4 Boot or restart the controller. The booting method is the same as in the S4
and S4C controllers using FDD.
See User’s Guide BaseWare OS 2.x for S4
controller.
See User’s Guide BaseWare OS 3.x for S4C
controller.
NOTE! Instead of using the floppies to access
the boot disk data from the controllers, press
K1 or K2 to select the required floppy blocks
for accessing the boot disk data. For example,
when the controller asks for disk4, press K1
until the LED displays 04 instead of inserting
floppy disk4 and proceed with the booting pro-
cess.
