Virtual controller

To execute programs in the simulator, you need to create a virtual controller with defined robot and layout.

Robot settings and layout settings for the 3D display are saved for each virtual controller. If you want to transfer the robot or layout data, you can copy and transfer the data.

The virtual controller connection created by the Epson RC+ 8.0 cannot be used in lower versions of Epson RC+.
