Hi.

I am using CAM converter plug-in to convert g-code to robot code. The output that I get from CAM converter is one main file wilth multiple modules that should be loaded and unloaded during execution. While simulation on pc runs (most of the time) OK. I am not sure how and where (which location) to load these files to robot controller. Can controller communicate with the desktop pc to load and unload programms?

Greetings,

Egle

You should create a directory on the controller main computer hard drive (hd0A).

If you make this directory directly under the existing home directory then the module load command in the program would be:

Load “HOME:/DirectoryName”\File:=FileName;
