Update Robotware

Robot Controller
1

I am currently in training for robot programming. The newest ABB robot is an IRB6600 with IRC5 controller. I noticed that some functions that are available on the RobotStudio virtual teach pendant are not available on the physical robot at the training facility (Offs function for example).
I was wondering if its possilbe to update the RobotWare with the latest version that comes with Robotstudio, and if so, could someone explain or point me towards the proper procedure. I don’t believe they have manuals for this particular robot.

Thank you.

Hello,
One simple way would be:
o Make a backup of your system on the controller.
o Open RobotStudio.
o Go to the Offline ribbon and press System Builder.
o Use the Create from Backup button and create a system using the new RobotWare version.
o Connect to the controller and download the system.

Good luck!
