Robotino® View2 - Festo Didactic

Familiarisation with the workspace
12
You can add function blocks via Drag&Drop to the current sub-program.
Function blocks of devices are bound to concrete hardware resources. "Motor1 116"
is available once
on Robotino. Therefore you can add "Motor1 116 " only once to a sub-program. If "Motor1 116"
had
been added to a sub-program already, the icon of "Motor1 116"
in the function block library is gray.
2.2 Terminology
Function block Smallest function unit a subprogram consists of. By networking several
function blocks it is possible to realise complex robot behaviour.
Subprogram Function blocks are interlinked by networks in a sub-program
Main program A control program written in sequential function chart connecting the
subprograms.
Project A project consists of a main program and several subprograms. Projects
can be loaded and saved.
Network Function blocks are linked by one or several networks.
Network point Network points are within a network and enable the structuring and
graphic representation of a network. A new sub-network can be started
from a network point.
