Hi,
I am working on robot studio. I created one system with IRB 4400 and now want to replace that robot with IRB 4600. When i use system edit and change the robot manipulator get easily replaced. But problem is that config of previous robot is remained as it is. which make problem while simulation play. It doesnt take the path created.
I need help from experts. please assist.

There might be a more straightforward way of doing it in newer additions of RobotStudio, but I still make a new virtual controller and then intentionally break the old virtual controller connection.

1. Create a new VC with all the correct robot options.
2. Close RS and rename the old VC folder name.
3. Open the station in RS, get error message that VC can't connect and do you want to find it manually.
4. Click yes, and find the newly created VC for that station to connect to instead.
5. Save the station.

First Thanks to soup.
Simply explaining my problem, I want to replace robot manipulator within existing system. Which parameters I have to change?

I just came to say this strategy still works in RS2023 if you have a station saved by another user with no pack and go. This lets you still use the station but use another virtual controller setup for your user account.
