Install fieldbus board
Mount the option board in the robot controller.Setup SRCI
Activate the (paid) option function (by Yaskawa) and setup MotoLogix + SRCI for the desired fieldbus and PLC architecture.Setup fieldbus
Define the fieldbus data packet for SRCI.Install SRCI app
Load the MotoPlus application with the SRCI interpreter.Set parameters
Set the internal parameters required for SRCI usage.
The setup process requires the robot controller to be in maintenance mode
and a sufficient authorization level (management
or higher).

Activate maintenance mode:
- Power off
- Press (and hold) main menu
- Power on
- Release main menu when the beeping sound is heard (usually within a few seconds)
Change the authorization level:
- system » security » select
- select the desired level using ▼ ▲ » select
- enter the password and press enter
Install fieldbus board
Yaskawa robot controllers use various fieldbus solutions:
type | description |
---|---|
PCI | Large form factor option board |
PCIe | Compact form factor option board |
cpu board | Software option (uses the built-in LAN port) |

Disconnect all connectors from the netfilter box (on top of the YRC1000micro).
Loosen the screws and remove the cover of the netfilter box:
Disconnect the white connector (1) and remove the mounting screws (2) of the netfilter box:
Loosen the remaining screws (see the figure below) and remove the cover plate:
Insert the CIFX board into one of the slots (1 or 2) and tighten the screw:

Install SRCI app
fieldbus board | app file name |
---|---|
all boards | SRCI-436b-YRC1000micro.zip |
SRCI-<data-packet-size>-<controller-type>.zip
The package contains the SRCI app and a build info file. Below is an example for the 436 byte package for a YRC1000 controller:
# example of a package
└── SRCI-436b-YRC1000.zip
├── SRCI-436b-YRC1000.out # SRCI app
└── build-info.yaml # build information
v0.4.1
, we included the controller type in the
SRCI app (.out
) file name.
This reduces the risk of loading an app of a different controller
platform.
Before this change, it was not recognizable for which controller the app was built.Installation steps:
Unzip the package and copy the app (
.out
file) to a FAT-formatted USB-stick.Mount the USB-stick into the pendant (rear side).
Set the target device: MotoPlus APL. » DEVICE » USB:Pendant
View the file(s) on the USB-stick: MotoPlus APL. » LOAD(USER APPLICATION)
Use ▼ ▲ » select to select the desired file. The ⭐ (star symbol) now indicates the file is selected.
Use enter to load the selected file.
Verify the installed file on the robot controller: MotoPlus APL. » FILE LIST
Make sure only one app is shown here. This should be the desired SRCI app.Apps can be removed using MotoPlus APL. » DELETE » ▼ ▲ » select » enter
