WAIT
WAIT statements are simple conditional instructions. They evaluate a condition or series of conditions, and only continue on to the next line if true.
If it is not true, the instruction will continue checking if it is true until it becomes true.
WAIT | Variable | Math | Variable | Modifier Choice | Modifier Variable |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
WAIT | R[1] | = | 6 | ||
WAIT | DI[3] | = | ON | ||
WAIT | 1.2 (Sec) | ||||
WAIT | 2 (Sec) | TIMEOUT | LBL[1] |
The condition can be any valid variable compared against any other variable, as well as just a time constant.
The WAIT instruction modifier TIMEOUT lets the instruction break out to a given LBL after a certain amount of time has occurred. This can be useful for error checking or multitasking, where the robot sitting idle is an undesired event.
