Set up Wandelbots NOVA
Your Wandelbots NOVA instance provides you with a multitude of options to manage cells, write robot programs and simulate physical cells. To benefit from all features, you need to include your Wandelbots NOVA instance within the robot cell and add robots in the Wandelbots NOVA settings.
License
Wandelbots NOVA requires a license to use the software. The license is bound to the user and the user's organization. The different license plans provide access to a set amount of configurable robots until a certain date.
Before activating your license, export all existing cell configurations and robot programs. This ensures that you can restore your data in case of any issues during the license activation.

Set up controller on Wandelbots NOVA
Wandelbots NOVA supports virtual and physical controllers for path planning, app development and simulation purposes.
Setup instructions for both controller types differ based on the robot brand and model, meaning you'll have to choose which robot brand you want to use to access the correct setup instructions.
For virtual controllers, the setup instructions will guide you through the process of adding a virtual controller in the Wandelbots NOVA settings. For physical controllers, the setup instructions will guide you through the process of preparing the controller environment, connecting the IPC to the robot controller and configuring the IPC to establish communication with the robot controller.
