Summary


Details

Customer needs RCS for Fanuc and Kuka that are Windows 10 compatible.



Solution

'Fanuc RCS V8.30D' is certified for Windows 10. Install that version or later. 
This software must be requested from Fanuc Robotics. Fanuc no longer allows posting of their RCS modules on the Siemens PLM download site. Make sure V8.30D is what is needed; the version requested would ideally match to the software version loaded into the robot controllers. The "D" release is the last for V8.30. There is also a 9.10A version released.


For KUKA, use V8.3_r18 or later. Please also note, KUKA is no longer supplying preconfigured Machine Data packages with their RCS modules. Install their free software package 'WorkVisual 5.0' - this will allow generation of the machine data files for the simulated configuration.

There are also some video tutorials on the site, and the help file included with the package is nicely detailed. 

Please adhere to the warnings in the package, as a MADA could be created which will generate inaccurate and dangerous OLP's.
