The Wait tab (on the Conversational tab) allows you to create commands inside a robot program that will pause program execution either for a set amount of time or until a specific event occurs. There are five different types of wait command available on this tab (a sixth type, wait for a connected machine tool, is available on the PathPilot tab):
Wait for a set amount of time (sleep).
Wait until a digital input changes state (while > sync).
Wait until the user clicks Cycle Start (similar to M0 in CNC applications).
Optionally wait until the user clicks Cycle Start (similar to M01 break in CNC applications).
Exit the program.
Add a Wait Command to a Robot Program
Select the radio button to the left of the desired wait command and then select Add To Program.
Note: To program pause and optional pause commands to allow you to manually jog the machine while the program is paused, select the Allow Jogging checkbox.
