Hello,
I need some information please regarding the right way to use the backups.
I have a backup from an old project. Now I have a new project with the same robot and controller IRC 5 and the robot programs should be the same.(trajectories, I/O, everything is a copy.)
If I use restore I will overwrite some specific data for the new robot and may not work properly?
Which file should I load manually from SYSPAR?
To install an option do I use Robotstudio or should be installed by ABB support? (Promia is my option required)
Thank you!
Backup restore

Hi,
I think you need to elaborate more... is it the same robot or just another robot of the same type (the other project was a IRB 2400 (for example) and this is a 2400, but they're different cells ?
If so, then the fastest way is probably to make a backup of the existing robot and make a backup of the new robot.
Make sure the robot in the new cell is in it's "0" position.
Restore the backup from the existing robot into the new robot (this will overwrite the calibration offset and you probably will loose your rev. counters (but not to worry).
Manually load the MOC.CFG into the new robot from your previous backup that you made on the new robot.
Update the rev. counters.If you wish to add an option you need to get an updated key string from ABB, but you can build a (new) system in RS and download that to the controller yourself.
I'm not aware of any option called "Promia", do you have an option number ? -
Hello
Thank you SAABoholic for your answer. Is a new robot of the same type IRB 2600 and is a new cell (we build again the same cell). I cannot find a number for the option. In the backup appears like "Additional options"
Promia version 50.61.1509.22 -
Ah - an additional option, not RW option as such.
Although I'm not familiar with their package as such, a quick google search reveals that it's tied to Renault, many of the OEM's have their own frameworks and it appears Renault is one of them.
If the keystring for that option isn't tied to the robot serial # then you can just copy the whole folder off the existing robot into your media pool on your computer and create a new system for the new robot with that option included.If it is serialized, then you should get a new external option keystring through ABB.
