RT ToolBox3 operation screen
Its features include a
ribbon bar, output window and docking pane, making information easier to see
and the software easier to use.
Operations in the 3D monitorscreen have also been updated to make using the
screen more intuitive.

Program editing and debugging functions
·
Programs can be edited
using MELFA-BASIC IV, V, and VI.(varies depending on the model).
·
Improvement of work
operations by a multi-window format and the various editing functions.
· This is helpful for use in checking operations such as the execution of program steps, setting of breakpoint settings, and other tasks.
MELFA-BASIC VI
·
As well as providing a
more complete set of commands, this uses structured programming to give high
levels of reusability and readability
·
Allows structured
programs, enabling programming with high levels of reusability and readability.
(Also supports existing programming methods.)
·
Keeping a library of
program processing allows knowledge to be accumulated and provides improved
reusability.
The libraries can also be hidden to prevent knowledge from being disclosed.
Monitoring functions
·
As well as monitoring
program run states, variables, input/output signals and other events, these
functions can show graphs of robot operation waveforms (speeds and current
values) and I/O states in real time.
· This makes it easy to see the correlation between program execution steps and waveform data, making debugging markedly more efficient.
Simulation function
Simulation that includes features such as
robot dynamics and servo responses as well as robot controller emulation allows
realistic simulations that include motor loading, tracking and positioning
times.
·
Programs that have
been created can be executed in the PC, movements can be verified, and the tact
times of specified parts of a program can be measured.
Such simulation functions are also effective for preliminary system
examinations.
·
Servo simulations can
also be performed, for preliminary examination of loads.
· Signals can be coordinated with GX works2 and GX works3 for easy creation of line simulators. A maximum of 8 robots can be operated, and coordinated movements among robots can be verified.
3D viewer
The 3D viewer can be used to check the robot
attitude and operation and to visually check information such as limit values
for user-defined areas, etc.
·
The 3D viewer allows
easy verification of robot poses and movements, verification of the limit
values of user-defined parameters, and virtual placements of peripheral devices
by basic objects.
·
It can also be used to
check for interferences between the robot and peripheral devices.
· Distance measuring functions are also available on the screen.
RT ToolBox3 Pro
A 3D robot simulator that provides powerful
support for system designs and preliminary layout examinations.
·
RT ToolBox3 Pro allows
robot simulations to be run on SolidWorks® 3D CAD software.
·
Programs can be
created to match today's era of high-mix, low-volume production, such as for
layout considerations prior to introducing robots, desktop program debugging,
and generation of complex motion paths.
·
By linking an add-in
tool to SolidWorks® 3D CAD software, robot simulation functions can be added on
to SolidWorks® platform.
