6.1.1 Selecting the type of robot
iRC provides project-related settings for different robot types, such as gantries, robot arms or delta
robots. Figure 4 shows the project open area, which can be used to load the corresponding project.
1. Click on the "File" tab in the upper left corner and select "Open Project".
2. Select the robot group, e.g. "robolink".
3. Make sure that the parameter set matching the operating voltage of the robot is selected. This
will affect the speed and acceleration.
4. Now click on the entry that matches your robot, e.g. RL-DP-5.
