About this topic
This topic presents an overview of diagnostics software.
Read this topic if you need to set up or troubleshoot a device running
VWorks or BenchWorks software.
Background
Devices can be controlled in real time directly through the VWorks or
BenchWorks software Diagnostics using simple commands.
Diagnostics software is used for:
❑
Troubleshooting
❑
Setting teachpoints
❑
Performing manual operations outside a protocol
❑
Creating and editing profiles
For example, if an error occurs during a run that leaves a plate and the
robot where they should not be, you can use robot diagnostics to move
the plate and return the robot to its home position.
Types of diagnostics
