WARNING
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned
OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the
DX100 and the programming pendant.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the
programming pendant is turned OFF.
Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit
cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator
should not be used if the emergency stop buttons do not function.
Fig. : Emergency Stop Button

• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all
items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator.
Then turn the servo power ON.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.
Fig. : Release of Emergency Stop
TURN

• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching

operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the
manipulator:
– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
– Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the
manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.
– Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of
emergency.
Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.
• Confirm that no person is present in the P-point maximum envelope
of the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:
– Turning ON the power for the DX100.
– Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.
– Running the system in the check mode.
– Performing automatic operations.
Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the
manipulator during operation. Always press an emergency stop button
immediately if there is a problem.
The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of front door of the
DX100 and the programming pendant.

CAUTION
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting
manipulator teaching. If problems are found, repair them
immediately, and be sure that all other necessary processing has
been performed.
– Check for problems in manipulator movement.
– Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.
• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the cabinet
of the DX100 after use.
The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the
manipulator's work area, on the floor, or near fixtures.
• Read and understand the Explanation of Warning Labels in the
DX100 Instructions before operating the manipulator:

DX100 1.1 System Features

1 Outline
The DX100 provides the FTP function, an extended application of the data
transmission function (Ethernet), as a server or a client.
This manual explains the operation methods and relevant information of
FTP.

1.1 System Features

1.1.1 FTP Function

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a widely used protocol in transferring files
over the Internet or Intranet. This protocol enables the FTP function in the
DX100, allowing the transfers of the following files:
• Job data
• Condition data/General data
• System information

1.1.2 Files Transferred by FTP Function

Details on the files which are transferred by FTP function are explained in
the following table.
Data Category Procedure Subject File
Job Load Jobs
Save (Can be transferred in either of
the SINGLE JOB mode or
RELATED JOB mode.)
Condition Data/ Load Tool data
General Data Save Weaving data
User coordinate data
Welding data
Variable data
System Information Save System information
Alarm history

2 FTP Server Function

DX100 2.1 Outline

2 FTP Server Function

2.1 Outline
The DX100 FTP server function is a function which saves DX100 files in
the host computer (an operation of the command "get" in FTP) or loads
files of the host computer to the DX100 (an operation of the command
"put" in FTP) via Ethernet, enabled by operating the host computer such
as a personal computer.
This function can handle the processing equivalent to the file data
transmission function of the host control function in an DX100 data
transmission.

2.2 Settings

2.2.1 Setting up FTP

Perform the operations described in chapter 4 “FTP Settings” .

2.2.2 Command Remote Setting

Perform the following procedures to enable the command remote
selection.

NOTE Set the command remote selection status in the manage-

ment mode.

1. Select {IN/OUT} under the {Main Menu}.

2. Select {PSEUDO INPUT SIGNAL}.
3. Move the cursor to “CMD REMOTE SEL”, and press
[INTERLOCK]+[SELECT].
– The command remote selection is enabled when the status is
switched to "z". The FTP function is disabled when the “CMD
REMOTE SEL” status is "{".

2.6 Precautions on the “ls” Command

2.6.1 Inhibition of Using the Command Option

NOTE Use the "ls" command with no options.

The information on the time stamp, attributes, and size of the file output by
the command "ls -l" ("NLST -l" for FTP command) or "dir" ("LIST" for FTP
command) is provided only for the compatibility of the output format, and
is not correct.
In order to prevent any mistake, be sure to use the “ls” for the list
command.

2.7 Restrictions on File Transfer

2.7.1 Inhibition of Transferring the Files Size “0”

NOTE Do not transfer a file of which size is "0".

If the file is transferred (PUT), the alarm “TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

ERROR” occurs, resulting in an FTP disconnection.

2.7.2 Interruption of Transmission

NOTE Do not interrupt the transmission with an operation [Ctrl] +

[C].

The transmission interruption executed with [Ctrl] + [C] operation may

result in a failure to maintain the correct transmission.

2.8 Exclusion of other communication processing

2.8.1 Access restriction by exclusion of other communication processing

NOTE Other transmission processing may not be performed during

an FTP communication processing.

The communication functions of DX100 (Ethernet function, FTP function,

Ethernet server function, etc.) cannot perform simultaneous parallel
processing. Although pseudo multiplex communication can normally be
performed by time division, the FTP function often occupies the
communication band and, therefore, other communication processing
may be forced to wait for a long time or communication time-out may
occur. When building your system, design it to allow for occurrence of
waiting for other communication processing due to the FTP function.

3 FTP Client Function

DX100 3.1 Outline

3 FTP Client Function

3.1 Outline
The DX100 FTP client function is a function which saves DX100 files in
the host computer (an operation of the command "put" in FTP) or loads
files of the host computer to the DX100 (an operation of the command
"get" in FTP) via Ethernet, enabled by operating the DX100. It allows to
load/save files which correspond to security mode.
The function executes the processing equivalent to the stand-alone
function of an DX100 data transmissions.
Since the data transmission function of DX100 does not support binary
format files, "BATCH USER MEMORY" "BATCH CMOS” and "ALL CMOS
AREA" cannot be handled. Therefore, the operation screen for the FTP
client function is as follows.

Since this screen is a function in the external memory menu, refer to "7.
External Memory Devices" of "DX100 Operation Manual" for more
information on individual files.
