C# programs can be directly executed on the robot using the same C# code used for simulation. Online programming allows running a generic program on a specific robot controller using Robot Drivers. Follow these steps to test this feature using the C# sample project:

1.Select Run on Robot in the Run Mode section

2.Select any other commands that will make a robot move

The movements will run on the real robot and the simulator will synchronize the movements with the robot.

Important: A connection between the PC and the robot is required by using Robot Drivers (right click a robot, then, select Connect to robot…). More information in the Robot Drivers section.

RoboDK API - Image 20

Note: The RunMode of the RDK/Robolink connection is changed to RUNMODE_RUN_ROBOT so that the movements can be executed on the robot. Example:

RDK = Robolink();

RDK.setRunMode(RUNMODE_RUN_ROBOT);

Tip: The macro SampleOnlineProgramming.py from the C:/RoboDK/Library/Macros/ folder provides a Python example for online programming outside the RoboDK GUI.

Note: More information about using robot drivers through the API in the Robot Drivers section.
