When upgrading or downgrading between software versions, where one is
prior to V2.20, two errors may be reported - “Database Checksum Error”, and
“Cannot open Current Configuration File” error. In any case, after an upgrade
or downgrade, the correct procedure to commission the robot is as follows:
a) Execute an EEPROM RESET
b) When the robot comes back with a prompt, configure the application of the
robot again - i.e. CONFIG ROBOT APPLIC F##-...
c) Reset the robot using the RESET command, or power cycle.
d) When the robot comes back with a prompt, it is ready for service.
NOTE:
Some previously stored information may need to be re-entered depending upon the
age of the previous software version.
