Vary Large RAPID code

Hi everyone,
I have a very large RAPID code which is generated for an additive manufacturing process. The generated code is very large (it has over 170,000 MoveL commands) and when I try to load it the RobotStudio software stops working. Are there any possible solutions to this problem?

  • What is the file size?  Break it up (as logically as you can) into smaller modules.  Like Data (robtargets) in one module, and so on.

  • There are a couple of issues.
    RobotWare 6.06 and lower did not handle modules with over 32768 lines correctly. This was fixed in RobotWare 6.07.
    RobotStudio times out while waiting for the controller to load the module. This will be fixed in the next release (6.08).

  • Just had another idea for you while re reading this thread.  Use MoveL with variable robtargets, potentially in arrays, FOR NEXT or While loops, could reduce the size of your code.
