Overview

Here you can find two examples, one for graphical and one for textual python programming of a pick and place movement for the ctrlX MOTION on a ctrlX CORE. If you like to see how they were set up watch the corresponding how-to video "How to #3 Use Graphical Programming for Pick & Place":

Preparation

A ctrlX CORE or a ctrlX CORE^virtual is needed.
The version of the system apps fitting to RM21.03 (version 1.8.x) is expected.
An installation of following apps in version 1.8.x is expected:
Please see "Set up a ctrlX CORE & PLC Programming" to get the prepared configuration (PLC and motion) or watch the corresponding video "How to #2 Set up a ctrlX CORE & PLC Programming" to set everything up from scratch.
