World Zone on RobotStudio

SteveMob

Hello,

I have an IRC5 Compact Controller. I am trying to set up World Zones, and I am wanting to simulate them on RobotStudio before I put it on the controller. I know my controller has WZ's,but for some reason it seems my purchased RobotStudio doesn't have them. Is there a way that I can get WZ on my edition of RS (6.01)?

Thanks for any help!

I have had trouble using the create from backup option -  the easiest way is to connect to your real controller and hit the go offline button.

Don't think it has to do with licensing -- if the virtual controller has the World Zone option, it should work.

How do I check to see if the virtual controller has it?

I get an event error saying these commands require the option WZ. It says to update the system image with the required option. Any idea on how to do that?
Thanks,

Right-click on the virtual controller > Properties > System Properties should list them all.

This is all it says for the virtual controller:

Looks like you don't have it on that VC -- it'd be under System Properties > Control Module > Options.

So is there something I can do or someone I can talk to about getting it on my VC?

If you have a real robot with world zones, when you create a virtual system from a backup, it should include that option on the virtual too.

Oohh, that makes sense. I haven't created a virtual system from backup. Got some information on how to do that?

I get this error when I try to Go Offline... Any suggestions on other ways to create a virtual controller from real system?
Thanks
