Product documentation, M2004
General
The robot documentation may be divided into a number of categories. This listing is based on 
the type of information contained within the documents, regardless of whether the products 
are standard or optional. This means that any given delivery of robot products will not contain 
all documents listed, only the ones pertaining to the equipment delivered.
However, all documents listed may be ordered from ABB. The documents listed are valid for 
M2004 robot systems.
Product manuals
All hardware, robots and controllers, will be delivered with a Product manual which is 
divided into two parts:
Product manual, procedures
• Safety information
• Installation and commissioning (descriptions of mechanical installation, electrical 
connections)
• Maintenance (descriptions of all required preventive maintenance procedures 
including intervals)
• Repair (descriptions of all recommended repair procedures including spare parts)
• Additional procedures, if any (calibration, decommissioning)
Product manual, reference information
• Reference information (article numbers for documentation referred to in Product 
manual, procedures, lists of tools, safety standards)
• Part list 
• Foldouts or exploded views
• Circuit diagrams
The product manual published as a PDF consists of only one file where the two parts are 
presented together, as one Product manual.
Technical reference manuals
The following manuals describe the robot software in general and contain relevant reference 
information:
• RAPID Overview: An overview of the RAPID programming language.
