RobotStudio event

Virtual FlexPendant behaviour

I would expect that when I select "Flexpendant Explorer" in the Virtual FlexPendant I would be browsing the directory structure on the virtual controller.

However - I currently see all the drives on my development machine, including my mapped network shares etc.

Is it the "Normal" behaviour of the "Flexpendant Explorer" to show the drives of the pc running RobotStudio ?

  • The FlexPendant Explorer is basically a file browser. On the real controller you will see the files of the controller, for the virtual controller you will see the files of the PC. If you want to see the files of the real controller from RobotStudio you should use the "File Transfer" tool in the Online tab.

  • Thank you for clarifying this. I became quite confused when seeing my mapped drives. I was expecting to see the filesystem of the virtual controller.
