Updating the add-in FlexPendant SxTPU4 Software
The FlexPendant with the emergency stop located at the connector has an add-in
that enables support for different RobotWare versions. This is the FlexPendant
SxTPU4 Software add-in. The version of the add-in is shown during start-up.
When connecting the FlexPendant, the add-in verifies that it has support for the
RobotWare version on the controller. If the RobotWare version is not supported
by default, then the add-in requires an update. There are two method to update
the FlexPendant add-in. The update is distributed as a software package.
Once the add-in is updated, the FlexPendant can be connected to other IRC5
controllers with the same RobotWare version without requiring additional updates.
Update using a USB drive
Use the following procedure to update the add-in using a USB drive.
Update from the controller
Use the following procedure to update the add-in from the controller.
Handling the FlexPendant cables
FlexPendant cables are allowed to be rolled up by hand with a minimum bending
radius of 10 times the cable diameter. This also applies to the extension cable. For
example, if the cable is 9.5 mm then it is allowed to roll it with a radius of 95 mm.
Extension cables are not allowed to be used in chains.
