ABB IRC5 and Omnicore

versiondog supports the management of ABB IRC5 and ABB IRC5P projects and enables the automatic creation of backups as well as the cyclic monitoring of the robots.

Info

This tutorial is valid for both IRC5 and IRC5P robot controllers. Since the procedure is identical for both robot controllers, only the designation IRC5 is used for the sake of simplicity.
