Major Improvements

Render autoconnects on canvas

  • when we have an obstacle to the robot's move, the robot will bypass it using an autoconnect

  • we used to get the position of nodes via targets but now nodes have position and we use them to draw the lines

  • all edges are shown in the Robots tab

  • only the autoconnects are shown in the Connections tab

[GIF]

Explanation

  • Selected pane button now flows into the active pane, clearly indicating which pane is active

  • Pane titles have been removed, giving more space for important UI elements

  • Command Pane has been split into the Projects Pane and the Workcell Pane

  • Cosmetic changes provide a more modern look and clearer indication of the mode of the appliance

Speed limited link selection

...

  • Users can now limit the maximum velocity of a robot’s links from the Robot Advanced Settings dialog

  • Negative values indicate no limit, fixed links cannot be limited as they cannot move

  • Status
    colourRed
    titleLIMITATION
    Currently, we only support one maximum speed limit. Thus the minimum nonzero limit is globally applied to all links. This will be rectified when the robot supervisor is complete

Tags Selector Drop-down

  • Added a target selection feature to filter the connections.

  • Users can now use the dropdown to filter connections more easily.

  • added a toggle option to filter either “Any connection with these targets” or

    Connections with only these targets”.

[Limitation] RPC only works properly with US-EN locale while no warning given in RPC when the wrong locale is selected. In many countries such as Germany, the decimal separator is a comma, this causes errors in RPC. Users must change the locale when working with RapidPlan.

Disconnecting one robot turns off display for all robot voxels

  • Only accepts US-EN

Interlock recording does not work with partial execution

  • DSM boxes, objects, and frames are tracked in the Profinet look up ID table. When items are created or removed, their Profinet IO mappings are handled as such, the handler retrieves the new id of the entity, and publishes it with Profinet. However, this does not cover cases where an external command source elicits a change in the DSM that’s unknown to a PLC.
