6.3 Programming concept
6.3.1 Handling of programs
Overview
This section details how to perform normal handling of robot programs. It describes
how to:
• create a new program
• load an existing program
• save a program
• rename a program
• delete a program
Note
Each task must contain one program. Note that the following procedures describe
a single task system.
How to create a new program when no program is available is detailed in section
Creating a new program on page 90 .
Code Editor
In FlexPendant the RAPID programs are created and edited using Code Editor in
Code .
If you toggle between the Code Editor and another view and back again, the Code
Editor will show the same part of the code as long as the program pointer has not
been moved. If the program pointer is moved, the Code Editor shows the code at
the position of the program pointer.
The same behavior applies to Advanced View in Operate .
About program files
When saving a program to the controller hard disk, it is by default saved to the
directory HOME in the system’s folder unless otherwise stated. How to set another
default path is detailed in section
How to set default paths in Operating
manual - OmniCore .
The program is saved as a folder, named as the program, containing the actual
program file, of type pgf.
When loading a program you open the program folder and select the pgf file.
When renaming a program you rename the program folder and the program file.
When saving a loaded program which is already saved to the hard disk, you must
not open the existing program folder. Instead, you should save the program folder
again and overwrite the old version, or rename the program.
