Robot control system with the igus Robot Control

Path generation from DXF data makes working with the software extremely efficient: simply upload your desired file and the software automatically calculates the optimum motion sequence. Forget complicated programming with thousands of lines of code for complex contours. The path generator makes programming child's play and efficient. This function is particularly useful for precise welding or gluing applications, for example.

The control system has also been further improved. The new iRC modules, now also available in the XC version, enable the use of more powerful motors, including NEMA 34 stepper motors.

The new app interface via Python opens up additional possibilities with maths tools and timing tools for more precise processes. At the same time, the AutoConnect function allows the system to automatically recognise the IP address, even if it has been changed - a real plus for simple commissioning.

Error messages and analyses are now even more precise. The new error analysis function helps to identify and rectify problems more quickly. Detailed information on the source of the error and possible solutions make the process even more efficient. In addition, the self-help tools have been improved so that diagnostics and configurations are more intuitive and downtimes are minimised.

In addition to the software, we have also extended the hardware compatibility. The control system can now control both BLDC and stepper motors, which provides more flexibility in the choice of drive technology. There is a special SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) for the ReBeL Edumove, which makes training applications for the education sector even easier.

The revised programme editor provides an even better overview and control - instructions can be grouped, scheduled and managed more quickly with a new search function for comments and variables. The variable explorer also helps to keep track of all relevant parameters at a glance.
