6.4 RAPID program
6.4.1 RAPID programs
Introduction
Overview
Each robot has a default RAPID program that can be edited using a normal text
editor from the robot settings of the job dialog. When a job is started, the program
is downloaded by PickMaster in the picking controller. The program contains the
Main routine where the program execution starts.
Note
Due to the download procedure, this program cannot be modified directly on the
robot system.
The installation contains the following program template files:

Program execution - General

when a new job is started.
For every cycle, the default RAPID program performs:
• a pick on a pick work area.
• a place on a place work area.
