Smart Components help not available in RobotStudio
in RobotStudio
Hi,
A few versions back, there use to be a help page for the Smart Components in the RobotStudio documentation/help menu, now there seems to be no help at all.
Am I missing something, or was it actually removed from the RobotStudio Help? If it was removed, is there any possibility of adding it back?
Thanks and best regards,
Hugo Costelha

Hello there,
There's a chapter in the RobotStudio (2021) manual called "Advanced simulation using smart components and physics - Understanding SmartComponents". It contains some information regarding smart components.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer, and sorry for my late reply, but I was not notified of it.
It is true that the referred section exists, but does not contain almost any information about the SmartComponents included in RobotStudio. In older versions, there was a help page which described all the SmartComponents, their inputs and outputs. It would be nice to have that help page back.
Best regards,

Sorry to bring this up again, but I really miss the old information where all inputs, outputs and properties of all available SmartComponents was documented in RobotStudio. Is there any specific reason for this part of RobotStudio not to be documented, specially given that it was once fully documented?
The examples, such as the infeeder one, do not have a proper description of all SmartComponents like in older RobotStudio versions.
Best regards,

Hello,
I will bring this issue to R&D's attention.
Thanks for pointing it out!—Maxim RiabichevPC Software Support Engineer1 -
Hello,Each SC should include its own help file in rslib file. So installed ones (via Add-ins) can have it too.We should access to it in Station Logic - Compose page.☑️2024 - RobotStudio® User Group0

Hello,hcostelha said:Are you referring to the description that shows up in the Compose tab when you add a child SC into a SC or the station? That already helps, but I was referring to having the documentation in the Help files, as it existed in older RobotStudio versions, where you can easily see the description of all included SC and the description of their inputs, outputs and propertiesNo I refer to help file opened in other window.I prefer have them independent than in one common file.☑️2024 - RobotStudio® User Group0

Hello there,
A follow-up on this. It is possible to distribute a SmartComponent as an Addin. So in a .rspak file, containing the SmartComponent (.rslib) and any potential documentation (e.g. .pdf ).
Below are some resources that could help with creating such a package file.
