Connection with controller

Enable the Simulator in controller

From the Epson RC+ 8.0 menu-[Setup]-[System Configuration]-[Controller]-[Simulator], check the [Enable Simulator] checkbox to enable the simulator function.

After checking the checkbox, click the [Apply] button and then click the [Close] button.

If collision with the simulator object is detected during a Jog motion or a robot motion command execution when the Simulator is enabled, the Manipulator stops operation and a Warning occurs.

To avoid collision with peripherals by using the Simulator, set 15 mm or greater margins to the simulator object.

Function restrictions when connected with controller

• You cannot change the manipulator from the [Robot Simulator] window.
• You cannot select and move the manipulator arms in the [Robot Simulator] window, except during the controller Dry run.
• When a robot connected to the controller is not supported by the simulator, the robot will not appear in the layout tree and 3D window.
• The [Record/Playback] functions are not available.

Operator Window

When you enable the simulator, the [Simulator] button is added to the Operator Window. When you click on the [Simulator] button, the 3D display window appears.
