Best way to swap robot in a station

Nitro145

Hello all, it's my  first time writing here.

Please excuse me if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find a satisfying answer.

I am working on a station with an IRB140, that is a backup of the real system.

I would like to investigate the improvement in cycle time by swapping the IRB140 with an IRB140T, keeping the same data (targets wobjs, RAPID code, IOs, system config etc.)

Which is the best way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Close the station and restart RobotStudio. Go to the Offline browser (without opening the station) and open the System Builder. Select your system in the System directory and click on Modify. Click on next until you come to the Modify Options page. Under DriveModule1, change the ABB Standard manipulator to IRB 140T and click Finish.

The next time you start your system it should be of the type IRB140T.

Hi, thanks for your help.

I already tried that but since my system is after the real one, the robotware key is that of the real robot and I don't see the option to change to the irb 140T. 

I tried to remove the key, but at that point I'm stuck since i don't know how to generate a virtual key.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Create IRB 140T virtual system(using system builder) with your options then load your *.mod,*.sys and *.cfg(usally only eio.cfg)  from the backup and you should be good to go with a T
