| It's recommended to download the example ZIP file, extract all the project files, open project with ControlStudio, and run the example by yourself. You will find files description table bellow (4.1). The instructions will be listed below. |

System Setup
In this example we used the following system:
- softMC 7 (you can also use simulated sofMC).
- Computer with ControlStudio, softMC Configurator and RoboDk.
- Example files - Programs, setups, properties and more. You can find files description down bellow (4.1)
The motors parameters calculate according to the manufacture formulas as it's appear in the Excel file, although it's simulated system.
softMC Configurator
To upload the example setups to your sofMC Configurator, open the example .mcfg file from the softMC Configurator.
After creating all project files with softMC Configurator or upload an existing project, you can run your simulated scara robot from ControlStudio or from the softMC Configurator itself.
In this example we will execute Pick and Place program with MC-Basic program, from ControlStudio terminal.
For more information about how to setup Scara robot parameters using softMC Configurator - look here
Running The Program and Simulate With RoboDK
To upload the example setups to your ControlStudio, open the example .apj file from the Controlstudio.
When all relevant files upload to your controller, and you opened and connected the RoboDK file as explain HERE, use the following code, from ControlStudio-terminal to run the example:
-->reset all
-->load AUTOEXEC.PRG 'wait until the program will terminate, and connect between RoboDK model and ControlStudio (as explained).
-->load PnP.PRG 'Load Pick and Place program
-->Stas PnP.PRG
