6.2. Virtual controller and controller files

 

One virtual controller is connected to one robot in work space. When a robot comes in work space, first the virtual controller is initialized and then is set to the type of the robot without any additional axes.

 

You can use 10 robots at the most.

 

 

In an actual Hi5 controller, when job filesare created, they are saved as .JOB files and when system settings are done, they are saved as .CON, .MCH, or other various setting files. This is the same in a virtual controller. These text files are not included in .hrs document files and saved in separate folders.

 

n  Warning: Save only one .hrs file in one folder!   Control files of each robot in project “.hrs” are saved in sub folders. If you save many .hrs files in one folder, be careful because other .hrs file’s controller files could be overwritten.

 

VRC Tools dialog box is open when you select VRC Tools from popup menu to the robot model.
