Creating a new project

This section explains how to create a SunriseWorkbench project and perform the initial configuration for a KUKA LBR IIWA 7.

Prerequisite

Before creating a project, make sure that SunriseWorkbench is installed. See the Windows and Linux installation guides.

Starting the new-project wizard

In the main SunriseWorkbench window, click New Sunrise Project.

Configuring the controller connection

Enter the IP address of the KUKA Sunrise Cabinet controller in the dialog.

Controller IP address

The default controller IP address is 172.31.1.147. If your configuration uses a different address, replace it with the current value.

Project name

Enter the project name in the corresponding field.

Selecting the robot model

Select the robot model from the drop-down list. For a KUKA LBR IIWA 7, choose LBR iiwa 7 R800.

Selecting the flange

Select the flange type that matches your robot configuration.

Flange selection

The flange type must exactly match the physical robot configuration. This setup uses Medien-Flansch elektrisch. Leave its orientation at the default value of 0°.

Reviewing the configuration

Review all parameters in the summary window. If they are correct, click Finish.

Selecting an application template

After the project is created, the template selection dialog opens. Select one of the examples and click Finish.

Main editor window

After the wizard completes successfully, SunriseWorkbench opens the new project in its main editor window.

Next step

All required libraries must be installed for full robot operation. See Installing libraries.
