To use a robot from a different series, data back up and initialization must be executed according to the on-screen instructions. Controller software versions higher than V2.7 support all robot series (M, H, and A series). However, a single controller cannot be used with an M, H and A series robot combination.
For example, if a controller with a software version higher than V2.7 is being used with an H series robot, disconnecting the existing robot and connecting an M series robot will cause a compatibility error screen to be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to execute data backup and initialization of H series, then turn the controller power off and on to allow an M series robot to be connected. Compatibility of each software version is as follows:
Series Compatibility of each Software Version

Note
-
A/M/H series have different connector structures for robot and controller connection, so the robot series cannot be swapped with each other.
-
The compatibility error screen is not displayed if a different robot of the same series is connected.
Caution
-
Take caution after swapping to a different model of the same series, as Safety Parameters, TCP, Tool Weight and various user defined settings are maintained.
-
Robot series compatibility may vary depending on the software version.
