Licences can be activated directly within the RC+ interface.
https://download.epson.biz/robots/ww/data/pdf/en/HowtoActivate.pdf
Option 1: by purchasing the Basic edition license, then activate it based on the activation process.
Option 2: users can upgrade from lite to basic by providing consent to share few robot data.
Real time operational data is shared only while your system is online.
We do not collect:
User-defined strings (e.g, filenames, labels, comments,etc)
CAD data
Camera images
Yes, you can withdraw consent at any time via the system settings.
You can continue using your existing version, but older editions will eventually stop receiving updates. Upgrading to RC+ Basic is recommended.
No. RC+ Basic offers the same or improved functionality compared to previous versions.
Offline systems will not be upgraded automatically. Updates occur only when connected online.
No. RC+ licences are user based and non transferable.

Shape RC+ around your workflows — with cloud collaboration coming soon
Extend the RC+ interface to match your customer-specific workflows and build tailored operator screens. Connect external devices and systems — including cameras, vision systems, and simulators — using plug-ins developed in standard programming languages.
Program, simulate, and coordinate multiple robots within a single RC+ environment. Optimise cell layouts and sequence timing across complex multi-arm or multi-cell automation scenarios before any component is installed.
Work as a team from anywhere with RC+ Browser — a web-based, OS-agnostic platform requiring no local installation. Multiple engineers can access, program, simulate, and deploy robot projects simultaneously across global sites and time zones.
Simulate, configure and prove your safety setup before any hardware is involved
Set up and test Safety I/O directly on the virtual controller without requiring physical hardware. Debug your safety logic through the I/O monitor and confirm correct behaviour in a fully simulated environment.
Configure Safety Limited Speed and Safety Limited Position parameters while visually verifying your settings on screen. Design and validate safety constraints in the simulator, then deploy the confirmed configuration directly to your real controller.
Front-load all safety parameter development and verification into the virtual environment before any real hardware is involved. Eliminate unexpected on-site issues, shorten commissioning time, and improve overall system safety quality from day one.
Build, test and optimise your full robot cell without touching real hardware
Visualise the conveyor and moving workpieces in the 3D simulator to verify cycle times and robot tracking behaviour virtually. Test multiple scenarios and find the most efficient configuration before a single cable is connected.
Run your entire robot cell virtually before touching real hardware. Validate layouts, test programs, and optimise robot selection in a risk-free digital twin environment — reducing development time and on-site rework significantly.
Calibrate your entire setup with one click in the virtual environment, then deploy pre-confirmed settings directly to the real controller. Only final fine-tuning remains on site, cutting installation time and eliminating configuration errors.
Complete visibility into system health, cycle time and timing faults
View a live list of all hardware and software in use, with clear normal/abnormal status indicators for each component. Instantly verify peripheral device connections and identify any issues the moment equipment errors occur.
Measure the execution time and resource usage of every function in your program. Identify exactly where cycle time bottlenecks occur and make targeted, efficient improvements — without guesswork.
Visualise the On/Off transitions of I/O signals and memory bits over time as a clear time chart. Analyse the operation timing of peripheral devices and diagnose timing-related issues during system faults with precision.
See, identify & verify with precision
Integrate advanced machine vision directly into your RC+ workflow. Detect, inspect, and locate parts with precision using Epson's PC Vision system — enabling intelligent decision-making at every stage of your automation process.
Reduce residual vibration for higher productivity. Advanced VRT reduces residual vibration in the robot hand and mounting stand caused by robot motion. By suppressing vibration, the system enables faster acceleration, shorter cycle time and higher yield.
Residual vibration must be pre-measured using the optional VR unit.
Read and verify text, barcodes, and data matrix codes directly within your robot application. OCR capabilities allow RC+ to identify components, validate labels, and ensure traceability without additional external systems.
Adaptive control for real-world conditions
Synchronise your robot's motion with a moving conveyor belt in real time. Pick, place, or process parts on the fly without stopping the line — improving throughput and enabling continuous production flow.
Adjust robot trajectories and speed dynamically in response to live process conditions. Handle fragile or variable parts with precision, adapting motion on-the-fly to maintain quality and protect your product.
Define and interact with external reference points to coordinate robot motion relative to tools, fixtures, or other external devices. Simplify complex multi-device setups and improve the precision of collaborative automation tasks.
Automate part presentation & keep lines moving
Automate the presentation and orientation of parts using intelligent feeding solutions integrated directly with RC+. Reduce manual handling, improve cycle-time consistency, and eliminate the throughput ceiling that manual feeding creates.
Ensure every part arrives at the robot in the correct orientation, every time. Feeding automation removes positional variability from your process, improving pick reliability and reducing errors downstream.
Plug RC+ into your wider world
Connect RC+ to industry-standard OPC UA networks for seamless communication with PLCs, HMIs, and other automation equipment. Achieve true interoperability across your entire factory floor with a proven, secure, and widely supported protocol.
Control Epson robots directly from your PLC using pre-built function blocks. Integrate robot motion seamlessly into your existing PLC-based control architecture — no separate robot controller programming environment required.
Control and coordinate field devices — sensors, actuators, and I/O modules — directly through RC+ using Fieldbus Master. Simplify your control architecture and reduce wiring complexity across distributed automation systems.
Make RC+ work the way your team does
Design and build custom graphical operator interfaces directly within RC+. Create intuitive control panels tailored to your specific application — reducing operator training time and minimising the risk of input errors on the production floor.
Extend the simplified RC+ Express environment with advanced capabilities for more complex applications. Maintain the ease of use your operators rely on while unlocking additional programming power, diagnostics, and configuration options for expert users.
Built-in safety that meets the standard
Implement certified safety features including Safety Limited Speed (SLS) and Safety Limited Position (SLP) directly within RC+. Achieve the safety performance levels required by your application without external safety hardware.
Define and configure safety zones that match your cell layout and operational requirements. Protect operators working in or around the robot cell with dynamic, software-controlled boundaries that adjust to your process.
