OlpcPRO
Basic Description
FANUC Robotics’ OlpcPRO is
a state-of-the-art offline robot
program development software
designed for FANUC SYSTEM
R-J3iB™ and R-30iA™ robots.
It supports offline development
and maintenance of both
KAREL® and Teach Pendant
Programming (TPP) used by
the FANUC SYSTEM R-J3iB
and R-30iA Controllers.
OlpcPRO is a PC program that
runs on standard personal
computers that support the
Microsoft® Windows® XP
operating system.
™
Features and Benefits
Easy Robot Configuration
n Easy selection of robot
model, Tool software
(such as HandlingTool™,
ArcTool®, SpotTool™ etc.)
and available options to
create a programming
environment just like the
user’s production robot.
Multiple Application
Tool Support
n Supports program develop-
ment for the family of FANUC
Robotics’ standard application
tools:
- SpotTool+
- ArcTool
- PaintTool™
- HandlingTool
- PalletTool®
- DispenseTool
®
Full Teach Pendant
Programming (TPP) Tool
n OlpcPRO includes the actual
TPP editor of the robot
controller for development
robot TPP programs. Those
who are already familiar with
FANUC robots will find an
identical robot programming
environment with OlpcPRO.
n A built-in ASCII editor is also
available to edit, load and
save TP programs in ASCII
file format.
n A special configuration utility
is available to arrange all
robot programs in separate
project specific folders, each
representing a different
robot and containing the files
associated with that robot.
n Key mapping feature is
available to map Teach
Pendant keys to the PC
allowing the programmer
to edit register and I/O
comments directly from
the PC.
Complete KAREL®
Programming Support
n OlpcPRO integrates
KAREL Editor, Compiler,
Variable Editor and
Dictionary processor
through a cell browser to
make it simpler to access
edit and translate KAREL
programs.
n A “build” feature is available
to translate and load all the
robot programs to the virtual
controller with a single
command.
n All translation errors are
displayed in a separate
output window, allowing
the programmer to correct
the source code to fix all
errors during the same edit
session.
n Built-in variable editor
provides the ability to view
and edit binary files with
.VR and .SV extension.

iPendant™ Screen
Development
n Built-in virtual iPendant
allows the development and
testing of iPendant screens
including the web browser.
n With an available special
interface cable, users can
control the virtual robot
using a real iPendant.
File Transfer to Robot
n OlpcPRO provides an
easy-to-use interface to
transfer selected robot files
back and forth between the
robot and PC via Ethernet.
This eliminates the need to
carry memory cards or other
media to the factory floor.
n Import/export control list
feature allows transfer of a
pre-defined group of files
between the virtual controller
and the target real controller
via Ethernet. If there is no
network connection available,
the files are exported to a
“Loadset” for manual loading
to a real robot.
Robot Program Testing
n OlpcPRO’s built-in virtual
controller technology makes
robot program logic debugging
simpler and more effective
since many programs can
be tested on the PC before
downloading to the robot.
Important Notes:
OlpcPRO is only available for
R-J3iB robots with software
greater than V6.40 and all
R-30iA robots.
Offline graphical simulation and
optimization of robots and robot
work cells requires ROBOGUIDE®
software. OlpcPRO is for robot
program maintenance and
development only.
ROBOGUIDE is essential for
applications that require robot
simulation, work cell visualization,
or optimization.

PC Requirements
Minimum requirements to install
and run OlpcPRO:
n AMD Athlon 64 or
Pentium® 4 processor
n 512 MB RAM
n 250 MB free disk space
n Microsoft Windows XP
n UVGA (1024x768)
256-color display
n Virtual controller also
allows testing of robot
communication with other
PC software such as FANUC
Robotics’ vision software,
third-party HMI software or
other Visual Basic application
software developed with the
FANUC Robotics’ PC
Developer’s Kit software.
