Workspaces And Projects - Mitsubishi Electric MELFA CR750 Series User Manual

5. Workspaces and Projects

This explains about workspaces and projects.
5.1. Workspaces and Projects
This software has workspaces and projects.
The information for one controller is managed as one project. A workspace can manage up to 32 projects. If
Ethernet is used for communications, you can simultaneously reference information on multiple projects (robot
controllers) registered in the workspace.
When using multiple robot controllers, it is convenient to manage with separate workspaces for each
manufacturing line and installation location.

Caution
You cannot edit multiple workspaces at the same time.
With this software, you cannot edit multiple workspaces at the same time. Register into a
single workspace all the projects (controllers) you want to reference at the same time.
Simultaneous connection with 32 units
The maximum of 32 robot connections is a theoretical value. It does not guarantee that if you
actually connect 32 robots, you will achieve the same performance as when only 1 robot is
connected. For example, if you monitor all the robots when 32 are connected, status updating is
slower than for when 1 robot is connected.
