Hello everyone,
Im currently working on client interface through python sockets, is there any possible ways to send python command to pause the robot program and again resume from the position where it left
I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you could provide to help me to understand UR Script better.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
I’m not aware of any way to do so through direct Python commands. However, a potential work around I’ve used is to add sections in the robot’s program where it checks with python to see if it should pause or continue. That does mean the robot won’t halt immediately if paused on the client interface as it needs to reach certain sections of the code first, but that’s what E-stops are for.
Something like:
Send “Pause check” to python
variable=python response (true/false)
Loop if/while variable=true
-wait x seconds
-Send “Pause check” to python
-variable=python response (true/false)
I’m sure there are other ways of doing this, but this has worked well enough for me.
