8.2.5 Upgrading, Downgrading and Compatibilities
Overview Each part of the system is of a specific release, software as well as hardware.
Changing to a later release is called upgrading and changing to an earlier is
downgrading.
Upgrading and downgrading may cause compatibility problems, for instance a
specific circuit board may work well with one release but not with another.
Since the robot system is complex, and since the system often works in connection
with a large number of additional equipment, keeping track of each
hardware/software combination is difficult.
Technical Service
Information
Each software release is accompanied by a Technical Service Information, TSI,
which includes a description of how to perform an upgrade/downgrade, and a list of
known incompatibilities.
For information about a specific TSI, please contact your local ABB organization.
