Hi,

I was working on a virtual controller using robotware 6.04 version.

Then i wanted to move all my work to the real controller we have in the laboratory, but i found out that the robotware version of the controller is too old (5.15.8017.08). Is there a way to update my controller to the latest version?

If this can help, i have an IRC5 M2004 controller.

Thanks,

Matteo

More than likely you would have to upgrade the controller to load 6.04 on your existing robot. I have just done this, our robot could not be upgraded past 5.61.

You can load the 5.15.X robotware in RobotStudio and create a system using it and still use RobotStudio 6.04 to program it offline.
