5. The EPSON RC+ 5.0 GUI
EPSON RC+ 5.0 (Ver.5.4) User's Guide Rev.4 93
Tools: Robot Manager: Tools Page
This page allows you to define tool settings for a robot. When the tab is selected, the
current values are displayed.
A grid is used to display all the values for all 15 tools you can define.
When the RC180 Controller firmware is Ver.1.4.*.* or before, the row from 4 to 15 will
not be displayed.
When a tool is undefined, then all fields for that tool will be blank. When you enter a
value in any of the fields for an undefined tool, then the remaining fields will be set to zero
and the tool will be defined when you click the
Apply button.
Navigating the grid
Use the TAB key to move to the next field. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to move to
any field.
For more information on tools, see the description for the TLSet command.
