This chapter describes the software setup to use the PG Motion System.

3.1 Creating PG Robots in EPSON RC+

The PG Motion System can control up to four axes per PG board, so there can be from one
to four PG robots per board, depending on the number of axes per robot.
If you are also using PG boards for Conveyor Tracking in the same system, those boards
NOTE
are only used for conveyor tracking encoders. PG boards used for the PG Motion
System are used separately, but are enumerated in the system along with the PG boards
used for conveyor tracking. If you add a PG board to the system for use with the motion
system and there is already one or more boards used for conveyor tracking, then the PG
board # will be the next board after the conveyor tracking PG boards. For example, if
you add 1 PG board for conveyor tracking, and then add a board for PG motion, that board
will be #2.
To create a PG robot in EPSON RC+, follow these steps:
(1) Turn on the Controller and launch EPSON RC+.
