Our handover is a photo album with the useful pages missing

I've got FR10 inspection screenshots showing a lovely main routine and absolutely nothing about the subprograms it calls, which would be entertaining if somebody else weren't about to maintain it; the integrator is still available and I want an actual recoverable package, not better captions for this album.

Ask them to export the running program and all the files it calls. Then match the screenshots to that version, or mark them as old. We need to know what is installed before describing how to recover it.

They sent the full program set, two helpers missing from the original handover, and admitted the pictures predate the fixture change, so the album is now officially historical.

Which fixture revision does the current program expect?

Include the external inspection recipe too; a complete robot export can still depend on a file held elsewhere.

Jo, did you get the fixture revision answered?

Fixture revision F, confirmed against the installed tool drawing, and recipe revision 7 on the inspection PC; thanks for poking that again, I'd asked but hadn't posted the answer.

Put those identifiers beside the program set in the handover. Are the ordinary PLC signals explained there as well?

Has anybody verified a restore from this package, or are you still assembling it? I'd want to know which stage it's at

Still assembling, PLC interface notes have arrived but restore verification is only scheduled; I've named the maintainer and kept that outstanding check visible so the folder doesn't acquire a magic approved label by being complete-looking.

Will the maintainer be involved in that verification? It is a good opportunity for them to find the missing explanation while the integrator can still answer it.
