Statements Toolbar

The Statements toolbar displays commands for adding RSL statements to the program of a selected robot in the 3D world.

Name Description
Break Ends the execution of loop.
Call Sequence Executes a specified subroutine in program.
Comment Leaves a comment in program.
Continue Sets loop to continue from next iteration.
Define Base Sets the properties of a base frame in robot.
Define Tool Sets the properties of a tool frame in robot.
Delay Delays the execution of program.
Halt Stops the execution of program.
If Defines an if-then-else condition for executing one group of statements if the condition is True or another group of statements if the condition is False.
Joint Motion Executes a point-to-point motion to a position by interpolating joint values.
Linear Motion Executes a linear motion to a position based on current configuration.
Print Sends feedback to be printed in the Output panel.
Program Synchronize Synchronizes program execution with other programmable components using a matching sync message.
Return Ends the execution of routine.
Set Binary Output Sets the value of a digital signal connected to a robot output or signals an action in the robot.
Touch-up Updates the properties of a motion statement for a selected robot position.
Wait for Binary Input Waits for a digital signal connected to a robot input to reach a specific value.
While Defines a condition for executing a group of statements in a loop.

Program

The program of a robot is its job and is saved with the robot in a layout. If you need to rearrange statements in a program, drag and drop a statement before or after another statement. The place where you are inserting a statement is shown by a line that will also indicate at what level you are inserting a statement.

When running a simulation, the current statement being executed in a robot program is indicated by an arrow in the right-side of the Program Editor panel.
