Automating RW Add-In Package Installation

jbultman

Is there a way to automate the installation of RW add-in packages to robots? All of my robots are connected to a central network and have custom packages that need updated fairly frequently. Having to connect to each system individually and going through installation manager is a hassle. 

I found some python scripts for Installation Manager amongst the RobotStudio installation files. They look like what I would need to tap into, but it is hard to decipher.

To install the package means to change the system of the robots. I don't think there is any interface in SDKs now taking care of system level operations.

Unfortunately, all of the systems are IRC5.

Have you tried Jobs inside RobotStudio?

Please clarify if you mean actual RW addins or your own custom rapid modules, programs, etc.

I can't get the Job to recognize a valid Update package path. I have .rspak and .rmf files, but neither are recognized in the folder.
