Display Controller Attributes

This task describes how to display RRS controller-specific attributes.

These attributes can be any selected subset of controller attribute dialogs supported by the RCS module. Note that the list of Attribute Groups are controller/RCS module dependent. Attribute Groups that are moved over to the Attribute Groups To Display area are the ones whose dialogs are brought up. Each Attribute Group dialog lists the names and current values of controller-specific attributes it contains. The values of attributes displayed are updated as the robot is simulated and corresponding attributes values are changed in the Robot Task and/or user defined attributes in Robot Motion Activities.

Before you begin: Load data with a robot and set up RRS.
  1. From the RRS Connect toolbar, click RRS Operations .
  2. Select the robot on which to operate.

    The robot's RRS Operations dialog box appears.



  3. Select the Controller Attributes tab and move the attributes as desired between the two areas.

    Available Items
    All controller-specific attribute groups available for display are listed in the left pane. To move an attribute group from available to displayed, select the attribute group or groups and click the right arrow.
    Selected Items
    All controller-specific attribute groups you have selected for display appear in this area.To move an attribute group from displayed to available, select the attribute group or groups and click the left arrow.

  4. Select an attribute group and click Display to have the attribute values associated with each selected attribute group for display appear in a separate, read-only dialog box.


    The attribute values displayed are updated as they change during a simulation run.

  5. To view an attribute group dialog box after it has been closed, click RRS Operations, followed by the robot and the Controller Attributes tab, and click OK or Apply.

    Note that the previously selected attribute groups to display stay selected during the complete RRS session for the robot. The robot's attribute group dialog box shows the attributes and the current source of the attributes.

  6. Click Close button in the RRS Operations dialog box.
  7. Click RRS Connect to disable RRS for the robot.
