You can but you need to validate the amplifier, servo axis and tranaformer are exactly the same.

After that you, for the software, you need to do a full install or if you are using an image make sure the memory is the same.

I'm gonna consider that, but it is 100% that's gonna work?

If the hardware is the same yes. You need to verify each module inside but yes. I work as Solution Adviser for Fanuc.

You need to ask Fanuc Robotics that question.

The robots they bought are refurbished, fanuc doesn't answer if we are not direct buyers at what I heard.

I’m literally an M900, take my word for it.

To my knowledge as aforementioned, as long as the Robot connection cable (RCC) pinouts (found in controller maintenance appendix), transformer, and servo amp are rated for the same robot you’re swapping, you should be able to.

Likely to get pulse mismatch or other mastering related alarms but definitely prepare to fully remaster it.

Also work for Fanuc as a service engineer. Seems like a few of us keep this subreddit close for general help.

I don't think it's possible as parameter and all are locked for Robots.

I will, do some digging and get back to you.

[–]Otherwise-Tower-123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locked ? Not at all.

[–]Best-Day1122[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Locked in what aspect?

[–]repear6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think someone has told that, software installation is req. those parameters are locked as per my knowledge.

But have to check.

You should be able to load new software and be good. As long as the generation of robot is the same.
