Replacing the Part ProgramTemplates
If for some reason the part program templates are lost, follow this
procedure to re-install the project. You must first obtain an ODS backup of
the T-Line-9 standard program templates from the Allen- Bradley Motion
Control Division. This ODS backup project is included on floppy disk
with this documentation or can be obtained using the Allen-Bradley
Motion C ontrol Division electronic bulletin board (216)-646-3963.
The transfer line project can be restored using a personal computer with
the Allen-Bradley ODS software installed on its hard drive. Contact your
Allen-Bradley sales office if you do not have a copy of the ODS software.
Restore the project to ODS as described in your ODS user’s manual. See
the section titled Restoring a Backed up Project in the chapter titled Using
ODS Project Management. The ODS workstation will copy the
transfer line AMP, PAL, and part program templates from the ODS backup
project titled Tran230.
The following procedure describes the download procedure for restoring
