Overview

The goal of this tutorial is to provide a starting point for creating different task sequences, that are depending on and related to external signals such as a PLC, a barcode scanner, or an external vision.

These different task sequences will only be executed, if a specific signal is transmitted. To establish such a task, Do-If nodes can be used to retrieve which specific sequence shall be executed. 

As an example, three different task sequences have been implemented, which are executing various moves of the robot, in case their specific task is requested to be executed by an external signal. The overview of the task is given below. Additionally, the example task can be downloaded here.

Task structure

Lets break down the task:

The whole task is divided into three different subtasks, which are only executed, if the desired Do-If node meets the predefined conditions. All three Do-If nodes are retrieving the status of the Signal_Putty_IN which is transmitted via TCP/IP.
