Executing & Monitoring Toolpaths - Automata Eva Technical Reference User Manual

Executing and Monitoring Toolpaths
When Choreograph has robot ownership, it can send instructions to the robot.
Note that the active toolpath in the robot memory is not necessarily the same
as the toolpath shown in Choreograph. New toolpaths must be uploaded to the
robot memory before they can be executed.
The robot owner has access to a small control panel on the left hand side of the
viewer. These controls:
a.
Upload the toolpath shown in the viewer to the robot memory
This will overwrite any toolpath currently remembered by the
robot
b.
Instruct the robot to return to the starting point of the toolpath in
its memory
c.
Execute the toolpath in robot memory
The same controls are available in the
dashboard, along with information
about the robot's status and a toolpath
selection menu:
By default, Choreograph will instruct the robot to repeat the toolpath
continuously. Toggle the Loop Iterations slider to specify a certain number of
cycles to run the toolpath. Looping is only possible for toolpaths that start and
end on the same waypoint.
When the robot is running, a pause button and an end button become available
on both control panels. It is not recommended to use the pause button at high
speeds (greater than 0.33), as this will result in a hard stop and repeated use may
result in damage to the brakes. The end button will allow the robot to finish its
current loop before coming to a stop.
