Step 6You will now select a robot type. You can choose from any robot that is compatible with an RC7 or an RC8 controller. This includes all the various arm lengths, shaft lengths, IP ratings etc. When finished, select Next. | |
Step 7After selecting your robot type, you’ll come to the Select controller specifications screen. It is here that you will choose robot model specific options for your project. If this is a project that you will eventually be transferring to a real controller/robot arm, you want to make sure the options selected match, as there is no changing these in the project after the fact. Click Next when finished. | |
Step 8Now you will choose the connection method. This will set the default IP address of the project. However, when setting this up manually this step can be skipped and simply click Next. | |
Step 9Now you can choose how many of each global variable type you desire for your project. These quantities can be adjusted after project creation as needed. When finished click Next. | |
Step 10On this you can choose what IO device and settings you desire. It defaults to DENSO’s Mini IO, but can be changed to whatever schema you will be using. This too can be changed after project creation. When finished click Next. | |
