For Allen-Bradley

1. Setup the A1 EtherNet module for communication with the robot controller. You can import the EpsonEtherNetIP.L5X file (recommended), or you can manually set it up. See the following:

   Creating a PLC/IPC Project using Function Blocks

2. Either import all Function Blocks into the project by importing SPEL_All.L5x, or import the desired Function Blocks separately. You must always import the SPEL_Init Function Block.

3. Create a rung (refers to a rung of a ladder-type circuit) for execution of the SPEL_Init Function Block. This must be executed once before executing other Function Blocks. SPEL_Init executes SPEL_ResetError and checks robot controller configuration. If there are no errors, then Function Blocks execution is allowed.

For an existing project, when Epson RC+ is upgraded and you want to use new AOIs provided in the upgrade, then you must import all of the AOIs that you are using in your project.
