Drivers tab

The Robot drivers settings allow you to customize the behavior of robot drivers. Contrary to post processors (where programs are generated offline, then, loaded and executed on the robot), robot drivers allow you to move the robot directly from your computer.

Options Menu - Image 14

Select Manage I/O with RoboDK when connected to a robot to simulate Inputs and Outputs as RoboDK Station Parameters instead of changing the state of Inputs/Outputs on the real robot (this is supported with some robot drivers).

The option Show robot feedback in RoboDK when connected to a robot will display the robot movement in real time as the robot moves (compatible robot drivers only).

Select Show a warning message before running programs directly from the PC to display a popup window before the program is executed from the PC (when using the Start on Robot option).

Uncheck Never force stopping a subprocess started by RoboDK if you experience problems with robot drivers. This will make sure that no other processes are running behind the scenes when a new connection to the robot created.
