EPSON RC+ 5.0 (Ver.5.4) User's Guide Rev.4 97
Tools: Robot Manager: ECP Page
This page allows you to define ECP (external control point) settings for a robot. When the
page is selected, the current values are displayed.
If the ECP option is not enabled in the controller, this page will not be visible.
For detailed information on using external control points in your application, see the
chapter
ECP Motion.
A grid is used to display all of the values for all ECPs you can define.
When an ECP is undefined, then all fields for that ECP will be blank. When you enter a
value in any of the fields for an undefined ECP, then the remaining fields will be set to
zero and the ECP will be defined when you press 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.
