Procedure for using the RobotWait step

The RobotWait step pauses the flowchart while waiting for a robot controller request. Upon receipt of a robot controller request, the flowchart will continue.

The following provides a basic methodology for using the RobotWait step:

1. Specify the robot controller from which to receive a robot controller request using the Robot text box. In the case of a project with multiple robot controllers, the step will only acknowledge requests from the specified robot controller.

   If necessary, ensure that the robot controller you specified is configured correctly using the Configure Robots button next to the Robot text box. This button will open the Platform Configuration dialog on the Robots screen, which allows you to set information such as the IP address of the robot controller and the type of robot controller you are using.

2. Specify the Timeout property. This value specifies the length of time, in ms, that the step will wait for a request from the robot controller. The default value is Infinite.
