1b.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Turn off the power to the robot system
Lift the robot cabinet lid.
Remove the screws holding down the cover plate protecting the original
floppy drive unit.
Lift the cover plate up carefully to reveal the floppy drive
Remove/ unscrew the 4 x M3 screws that hold the floppy drive unit to a flat
plate
Disconnect the power cable and ribbon cable from the rear of the unit
Store the disk drive unit somewhere safe with the M3 screws removed as they
are no longer required.
2a. Install the USB Floppy Drive Unit (UFDD) S4 version:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mount the brackets to the UFDD using the four self tapper screws provided
Plug in the floppy disk power connector (5V)
Plug in the floppy disk ribbon cable (34 way ribbon cable)
Please ensure that the groove in the UFDD matches the cable keying position.
Warning: If the cables are reversed, damage may occur in the device.
Mount the UFDD complete with brackets attached onto the two existing M4
studs and secure with the M4 Locknuts provided (a spare locknut is supplied
in case you drop one!) Ensure the front of the UFDD is located at the same
position as the old floppy drive.
Or
2b. Install the USB Floppy Drive Unit(UFDD) S4C version:
•
•
•
Plug in the floppy disk power connector (5V)
Plug in the floppy disk ribbon cable (34 way ribbon cable)
Please ensure that the groove in the UFDD matches the cable keying position.
2
•
Mount the UFDD to the vertical bracket using the supplied heavy duty tape so
that the front of the unit is in the same position as the original old Floppy disk
drive. Re-position and re-attach if necessary until the unit is located correctly.
3. Check all connections and replace any covers as necessary.
4. Ensure that the USB stick is removed from the USB Floppy Drive Unit on
initial test
5. Turn on the robot controller
The Green LED) on the front panel of UFDD should be lit.
The red numeric LED displays the code C.4. and indicates the unit is ready and
waiting to accept the USB stick.
Note: If the display shows any other code this is abnormal, please switch off the
power and re-check the power and data connections to the UFDD unit.
6. Insert the USB stick supplied. This unit is prepared and ready for use.
7. The display will change from c.4. to 00 indicating that folder 00 is selected on
the USB stick. Other codes may be displayed briefly (E6,E7) before settling on code
00 and this is quite normal.

Important General Notes and advice
•
The user may select other folders within the USB stick (00 to 99) by pressing
the buttons on the front of the UFDD. One button increases the folder number
and the other decreases the folder number.
•
Allow the UFDD unit display to settle to a steady state before removing the
USB stick. It can be seen that the display initially shows 0.0. before 00 when
selecting folders using the pushbuttons. The decimal points on the display
indicate that the UFDD unit is seeking the desired folder. When the decimal
points go off, the unit has successfully selected the desired folder and the USB
stick may be removed without damage to files contained on it.
•
The selected folder indicated by the display will be used in any load or save
action.
•
The Green LED will light when the UFDD has 5V power connected.
•
The Red LED will light when the UFDD drive is in use. Do not remove the
USB stick until the Red Led is turned OFF and the data transfer is complete
otherwise data loss and damage may occur on the USB stick
•
The two digit display is used to indicate the folder number, code number or
the error code number.
•
Use the folders 00 to 99 as if they were 1.44Mb disks. A total of 100 folders
may be used on the UFDD within one USB stick.
•
A practical limit of 1.38Mb for a single file exists within each folder, exactly
as the original Floppy drive. The user will not be able to places files of more
than the 1.38Mb limit within one folder.
•
Warning: Do not allow the floppy drive spring door to damage or snap the
USB stick. The supplied USB stick is very short in length to allow the door to
close. Damage may be caused to the USB stick or the UFDD unit.
•
You will need to use the Software Tool SFD v1.23 to access all 100 areas on
the USB stick. The USB stick is divided into 100 x 1.44Mb areas.
4
Accessing floppy blocks 00 to 99 on the PC
You will probably need to access all the data contained within USB stick using a PC.
A USB Floppy software tool called SFD v123 is used to open up each block
individually for you to drag and drop the data.
If you need a copy of this software contact us at [email protected]
Background:
The USB stick is partitioned into blocks that behave just like a standard floppy disk
with the same size limitations. The software tool allows the USB stick to be divided
up and to create and use up to 100 floppy disk areas which we have called floppy
blocks.
Method:
•
•
Start the USB Floppy Software tool SFD v1.23 for Win2K/XP
Insert the USB stick into to the USB port

Formatting the USB Flash Stick - single block
The USB stick supplied is normally ready to use and does not require formatting
If you need to re-format your USB floppy block 00 to 99 one at a time, you can do
this using the normal Floppy format procedure on the robot system. See user robot
manual for more information.
Choose the floppy block by selecting by the up/down buttons 00 to 99 and then
format in the usual way.
Please Note: All data is lost in the usual way during formatting
If the entire USB stick needs to be formatted floppy blocks from 00 to 99 at the same
time) you must use the USB Floppy software tool called SFD v123. It may be
requested by contacting us at [email protected]
The procedure for formatting the entire USB stick is listed directly below
Formatting the entire USB Stick using a PC
Background:
In order to use a USB stick in the USB Floppy Unit, it is necessary to Format it when
it is used for the first time.
This procedure creates 100 separate areas (0 to 99) on the USB stick for the robot to
use.
The USB sticks supplied with the original unit are normally already formatted ready
to use and so this procedure may not be necessary.
The formatting procedure will erase all the data on the USB stick, so first you should
make a backup if required.
Method:
•
•
Start the USB Floppy Software tool SFD v1.23 for Win2K/XP
Insert the USB stick into to the USB port
on the computer.
