in Robot Controller
We have to exchange two old robots  : on IRB6400M94 an one IRB6400M96 with IRB 6640 IRC5.
First of all how can I get the programm and al system settings out of the old controllers?
Second, is all code directly transformable to IRC5 code, or are there instructions that are different?

    Hi,
     

    To get the program out save it to a floppy disk from the Teach Pendant.

    The configuration files can also be saved from the TeachPendant - use the save all option.

     

    As a general rule the RAPID program should work as is (there are only a few commands that have changed).

     

    The configuration files are different in particular the EIO which is the inputs and outputs.

    There is a conversion tool that you should be able to get from your local ABB or you can set the I/O up from sctatch (which may be easier in the long run).

     

    Hope this helps

    Graeme
