1.1 Features of Personal Computer Teaching
System
The personal computer teaching system is designed to make program
development and verification efficient by connecting a personal computer to the
robot controller.
It is possible to use this system to verify the robot program and/or data from a
remote point using the telephone line.
The WINCAPSII software, when installed on a personal computer, provides
advanced functions that include robot motion simulation, variables and I/O in
the software, and program file management of each project. These features
are most efficiently exercised in the development and/or control of programs.
Note: For information regarding the specifications of the necessary
personal computer and for an outline of the personal computer
teaching system software function, refer to “General Information
about WINCAPSII Personal Computer Teaching System Software”
in Owner’s Manual (Installation & Maintenance).
