Creating a New Project

WINCAPSIII manages more than one robot program in projects.
Creating more than one program in a project and using a set of programs combined facilitates program management.

For creating a robot program, first create a new project.

WINCAPSIII provides a wizard for creating a new project.

New projects are created using the following two methods.

• Select robot type manually for creating a new project
  This method can be used when the robot is not linked. Used for creating projects in advance of robot installation (when designing equipment, etc.) Match the settings with the controller to link to. Errors will occur during linking if the settings do not match.
• Get information from the controller for creating a new project
  If the robot and the controller are set up, import one of projects held in the robot controller into WINCAPSIII to create a new project.

In this section, create a new project by "Select robot type manually for creating a new project".
