Where are stored robtargets in RS?

Where are the robtargets created in a workobject stored in RobotStudio?

It is possible to create a workobject and define in which module it will be stored, but it is not possible to define which module stores the robtargets.

Are these robtargets stored in the same module? Is the module data available to visualize/modify? Where?

  • When you syncronize to VC you have a Advance button that will give you the possibility control datasync

  • I select ToolData, WorkObject, Targets and Other data, (which are not selected by default) in the Advanced tab in the synchronize to VC option when I synchroonize.

    These data does not get transfered even when I synchronize to VC.

    The sychronize to station only has the modules listed, and does not modify any data that has been modified by running the procedure in VC

  • RS syncronize motion instructions and not single targets. So if you just drag a target into a path and then select sync to vc you will see that you have the possibility to select which module to sync the targets too.

  • RS cannot synchronize individual data, only data that is referenced by instructions in a path. Unfortunately that limitation is not reflected in the Sync to VC dialog. This will be fixed in the next version.

  • Actually, it never gets synchronized.

    Values are being updated when the procedure calculates new positions, but the move commands still use the original values.

    I have to delete these variables and create new ones to be able to use new values.

  • I have tried to put everything in the same module (I had a module that contained the variables, another one with the calculations and a third one with the path).

    The positions seem to be updated/synchronized when everything is in the same module.

    Is this a limitation of RS? This is normally not a problem with an actual controller. We usually keep the variables apart to avoid overwriting them when we need to update program.

    When I'm running the program though, I'm getting an error message saying that the current tool (which has a different name than the actual current tool) has been replaced by tool0, why?
