Data exchange

Data exchange is a powerful feature that allows you to import and export cell configurations. This is particularly useful for managing cells, sharing configurations, or backing up your setup. This section guides you through the process of importing and exporting configurations in the Wandelbots NOVA 25.7 Setup.

via Setup

Use Setup to import and export cell configurations via the Configurations tab in the cell setup.

You'll be able to select the cell resources you want to export, such as the controller configurations, the installed applications, or other persisted data.

via API

Export cell configuration

You can also import and export cell configurations via the API. For more information, refer to the API documentation (opens in a new tab).

To export a cell configuration, use System > Retrieve Configuration Backup GET /api/v2/system/configuration.

This API endpoints needs to be provided with a list of resources to export. This list can be retrieved via System > List Configuration Resources GET /api/v2/system/configuration/resources.

Import cell configuration

To update an existing cell, use System > Restore Configuration Backup POST /api/v2/system/configuration

Transfer controller configuration to virtual robot

If you want to add safety zones from a physical robot controller to its virtual counterpart for example, you'll need to delete the "type" field from the configuration.
