PC Teaching System Software, "WINCAPSII"
The PC teaching system facilitates the creation and editing of robot programs. Use
this system to improve creation and/or robot management programs. For further
information about how to use this teaching system, refer to the WINCAPSII GUIDE.
4.1 Functions in WINCAPSII
WINCAPSII has the following functions:
Entering and editing robot programs
In WINCAPSII, you may enter or edit robot programs. You may also develop new
programs by making use of programs supplied as a library or with existing programs.
Reading/writing programs and data
WINCAPSII may read programs, variables, coordinate values, CALSET data, log
data, and other data from the robot controller and display them on the PC screen or
can write them to the robot controller.
NOTE: To use this function, the robot controller and the PC must be connected with
each other using a communications cable.
Saving programs and data
WINCAPSII may store programs, CALSET data, log data, and other data onto the
hard disk or floppy disks. It may also read out those stored data and re-edit or write
them to the robot controller.
Printing programs and data
If you connect a printer to the PC, WINCAPSII may print out programs, CALSET
data, log data, and other data.
Simulating the robot motion
WINCAPSII may simulate the robot motion in animation on the PC screen.
NOTE: To use this function, the robot controller and the PC must be connected with
each other using an interface cable.
During automatic operation or manual operation using the teach pendant, the
simulated image moves corresponding to the actual robot motion.
