Procedure for Loading ASI on Existing Robot and Keeping all Programs and Settings:

1. Before beginning, take the following backups (instructions at the end of this document):

 MD backup
 Image backup

2. Cycle power while holding F1 & F5

3. Select All software installation from MC or UD1 (whichever media is being used)

4. As the ASI loads select personality to match configuration of unit.

When complete, select configuration menu, then select controlled start.

5. Run wizard (MENU-SPOT CONFIG-GM SETUP WIZARD) to match configuration of unit. When
complete:

A. Add extra servo gun motors if unit has a gun changer: MENU-MAINTENANCE-SERVO
GUN AXES

B. Add extended axis to group 1 if unit has RTU: MENU-MAINTENANCE-EXTENDED AXIS

6. Press the Function button (wrench symbol) and select Cold start

A. After boot up execute SRVO_TC.PC file if unit has a gun changer

7. Cycle power and hold PREV & NEXT

8. For convenience, decide which files you need to restore (see list below) and COPY them from
your MD backup into a new folder on your backup card. Select this new folder in the file menu,
press F4 to restore, and select ‘all of above’. Files that were not copied to this new folder will
need to be ‘skipped’ individually by pressing F4.

Restore the following SV files:

DCSIOC.SV SYSPRESS.SV
SGZDTDEF.SV SYSSEAL.SV
SYSCIPS.SV SYSSERVO.SV
SYSFRAME.SV SYSSLSCH.SV
SYSFSAC.SV SYSSVGN.SV
SYSHOST.SV TWLOGVAR.SV
SYSMAST.SV
SYSPASS.SV
Restore any TP program that has motion (other than Position Register (PR) motion)

LS files of TP programs can be opened in Notepad to check for motion
