I would not expect it to be that straightforward. The axis computer may not work correctly, among other things, due to different hardware and firmware revisions that RW 6 would be expecting to see. You should have your ABB contact confirm or deny that.
I read thru a guide about 2 years ago on updating to the DSQC1000 to run RW6 but can't seem to find it on my local machine. Can try more searching tonight.
Replacement kit is 3HAC050308-001 to upgrade DSQC639 to DSQC1018.
DSQC1018 replaces the DSQC1000.
Regarding hardware, I can't say for sure as I have yet to do this. ABB tech support can verify.
Regarding software, here are a few links that may help:
Hey! We're refurbing a used robot and exploring a similar upgrade. I was wondering if you figured this out and performed the swap? Or learned that it was too much of an undertaking? Thanks for any info you can provide.
For the record:
We have performed this upgrade. It worked. The hardest part was getting ABB spare parts departments to supply the upgrade kit.
Thanks for updating. Was it the same part number mentioned by Skooter earlier in the thread?
