The project configuration file contains settings for one specific robot. If you use multiple robots with different configuration you can use different project files for each of them. CPRog/iRC on your PC and the embedded robot control both got a copy of the project file so make sure changes are synchronized to both.
Most changes can be done via the configuration area in CPRog/iRC. To access it click "File" -> "Configure Project" or "Configure Interfaces". If a robot is connected to while applying the changes will be synchronized to the embedded control. For special configurations the project files can be changed using a basic text editor.
Accessing the Project Configuration File
The project configuration file of CPRog/iRC can be found in the installation directory under:
Data\Projects\<Category>\<RobotType>.prj
The project configuration file of the embedded control can be accessed via CPRog/iRC:
- Click File -> Access Configuration
- Click "Try to Connect", if necessary
- In the Project Configuration section click "Load..." to load the current configuration from the embedded control.
- Change the file with a basic text editor
- Write it back by clicking "Write..."
- Restart the robot to apply changes
If that does not work (e.g. when using an older version of CPRog/iRC) the project file can be found at one of the following locations. Read FTP and PuTTY Access on how to access files on the embedded control.
/home/robot/TinyCtrl/Data/Projects/EmbeddedCtrl.prj /home/root/TinyCtrl/Data/Projects/EmbeddedCtrl.prj
Parameters
The most important parameters of the project configuration are the following.
We generally recommend changing these via the CPRog/iRC user interface to avoid mistakes.
| Line | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Robot | Type | Robot type - this defines the robot configuration file that is used |
| Program | File, FileLogic | The robot program file and logic program file that are loaded after starting the robot |
| Program | Override | The velocity override value (0-100, percent of maximum velocity) |
| Program | Repeat | Run the program once or repeat after it ends |
| PLCInterfaceRefSequence | Referencing sequence | |
| OperationModes | Active | Enables the operation mode switch - limits the velocity depending on operation mode |
| OperationModes | ManualMaxVelMMPerSec | Maximum cartesian velocity in manual mode |
| OperationModes | DInOpModeAuto, DInEnableMotionInManualMode | Digital inputs to enable manual and automatic mode |
| InteractionElements | Defines which UI elements are shown in CPRog/iRC and which values are used when adding new commands to a robot program | |
| CRIServer | Active | Enables the CRI server (only CPRog/iRC) |
| ModbusServer | Active | Enables the Modbus server |
| ModbusServer | Port | Port of the Modbus server |
| ModbusServer | MaxConnections | Maximum number of concurrent connections (only embedded control) |
| Cloud | Cloud configuration | |
| Joypad | Settings for jogging the robot via a gamepad |
