8.1 Simulator Functions
Simulator functions enable easy robot motion checking on your PC, which gives you
flexibility to consider the system layout, measure the operation time, and create robot
programs.
They are useful from the introduction stage to the launch of robot system.
The Simulator is supported in EPSON RC+ 5.0 Ver.5.4 or later.

The following are the major simulator functions:
Robot motion 3D display
- Shows robot orientation and motion in a 3D display from various viewpoints.
- Offers accurate display data based on design data.
Interference check
- Checks whether the robot (including the hand) interferes with itself or its peripherals.
Robot operation time prediction
- Predicts the robot operation time for a program.
- Considers the speed setting (Speed, etc.) and acceleration / deceleration setting (Accel,
etc.) when predicting the robot motion time.
SPEL+ program execution
- Allows you to create, execute, and debug SPEL
+
programs.
