The name of the project configuration file that you need to use in CPRog for your robot is composed as follows. Use the table below to identify the
filename:
In general, any configuration file is comprises as follows:
<#><IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm>_<4DOF/5DOF>_<SV/BV>_<AE/ME>.prj
Answering the questions in the table below, should narrow your choice down to a single file in the folder C:\CPRog\Data\Projects\.
| Igus robolink DQ or D arm? | <IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm> | There are several types or robolink robot arms, the most common is the D arm, named just “IGUS arm” | 
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 or 5 Degrees of freedom? | <4DOF/5DOF> | DOF is the acronym for “degrees of freedom”, meaning the number of robot joints. The robot on the right is 5 DOF. Note: the white gripper is not counted. | 
|
| Small version or big version? | <SV/BV> | BV stands for Big Version with 2.5 kg payload. SV stands for Small Version with 0.5 kg payload. Measure the diameter of joint 2. 5cm = BV; 3cm = SV | 
|
| Abtriebsencoder or Motorencoder? | <AE/ME> | ME versions use a motor encoder, AE version use a encoder on the gear output. Count the number of sockets of any of the modules labelled "Stepper Motor Driver Module" on the DIN Rail. 4 sockets = ME; 3 sockets = AE | 
|
Loading the Configuration File=
You can load the project configuration file by clicking on the circular icon at the top left of CPRog and then selecting the corresponding file located in C:\CPRog\Data\Projects\.
