Plugin functions

TP programming

You can start programming with the EYE+ plugin on the IPendant touch through TP programs.

A TP program is a .TP file containing robot instructions (registers and I/O manipulation, apply robot displacements, call other programs ..) that can be directly started from the IPendant touch. This is the normal way of programming Fanuc robots if you don’t have ROBOGUIDE.

Note

String arguments in TP program are limited to 34 characters. Some EYE+ commands required more than 34 characters (e.g. multi-feeding commands). If you encounter this kind of situation, you should program your request using Karel program directly.

KAREL programming

KAREL programs allows to create more complex task than TP programs can do. It is a more advanced way of programming Fanuc robots.

Thanks to the KAREL routines defined inside the TP programs of the EYE+ plugin, you can also start programming in KAREL directly.

Important

You need to install the plugin properly, even if you want to program in KAREL.

Important

ROBOGUIDE is required to compile KAREL programs into PC files.
