selection screen is displayed as in "Figure 8-30 Screen for Selecting Project to Switch Online". Check only the
project to be switched to online or simulation, then click [OK]. Note, however, that up to eight projects can be
switched to the simulation mode.

Caution

to online.

decreases because the retry process is performed frequently. In the project unconnected the robot
controller (or power is not turned on at the controller), please switch to offline.
