1.4 Outline of the Motion Program Development Procedure
This section explains the standard procedure and points for developing a motion program.
1.4.1 Simple Development Flowchart
The basic procedure is as follows: After installing the system, create the Machine Controller
Folder, and then define the Machine Controller and servos before starting programming. The
definition settings given here are the minimum required to execute a motion program.
Depending on the system configuration, other definition settings may be necessary. Refer to
Chapter 4 System Configuration Definitions for details.
1.4.2 Environment Settings
The environment settings regulate the hardware, software, and communications environ-
ments.
„ Hardware Installation
This section assumes that hardware installation has been completed. If the hardware has not

and Maintenance, and install the required hardware.
This restriction does not apply when defining systems and creating programs offline.
