Comparing with IRC5 and S4C+

Options

Hello...I have some curiosity of IRC5 and S4C+. In S4C+, there is an option, which is "Developer Functions (107-1)" and which can control S4C+ and TPU more freely but it's not free. I'm wondering this IRC5.

In IRC5, I'm using FPSDK mainly but also using RAPID program. I saw an option "Advanced Rapid (626-1)"..my question is what is this function used for? and If I use both languages (VB.NET and RAPID), should I have this "Advanced Rapid" option?

Best & Kind Regards,
spaik

    From the Advanced RAPID option manual:

    develop applications that require advanced functionality.

    Advanced RAPID includes many different types of functionality, which can be

    divided into these groups:

    • Data search functionality Search and get/set data objects (e.g. variables).


    • Alias I/O functionality Give signal an optional alias name.


    • Configuration functionality Get/set system parameters.


    • Power failure functionality Restore signals after power failure.


    • Process support functionality Useful when creating process applications.


    • Interrupt functionality More interrupt functionality than included in RobotWare base functionality.


    • User message functionality Error messages and other texts.


    • RAPID support functionality Miscellaneous support for the programmer.
