2.4. What is RobotWare?
Concept
RobotWare is a generic term for all software to be installed in the robot system designed to
operate the robot.
RobotWare is installed and stored in the media pool (
Mediapool) folder on a PC/server. The
media pool is described in section About the media pool on page 27.
RobotWare is delivered on a DVD and this contains software for all available models, options
and such.
However, the RobotWare license keys, required to access the software, are delivered as
character strings printed on a piece of paper delivered with the controller cabinet. There is one
key for the Control Module, and one key for each Drive Module.
When adding functionality at a later date, a new controller license key is required to access
the functions. The key is available from your local ABB representative.
