How to create a system using RobotStudio
Normally, no system will have to be created for single robot systems since one is already
installed on delivery. However, if your system uses the option MultiMove, you must create a
new system defining all robots in the system.
If for some reason the delivered system does not work, a new system must be created and
loaded as outlined below.
A detailed procedure is given in Operating manual - RobotStudio. For MultiMove systems,
more information is also described in Application manual - MultiMove.
How to switch on power
The mains power switch(es) is located on the front of the controller/modules. See illustration
of the switch below.

RobotWare options to run on the
controller. It is delivered on the
software DVD (delivered with the
robot).
Some of the steps are optional
