Python Script Step

Brief description

This step involves writing a script in Python. Before executing this step, you need to have the desired version of Python installed

Step Information

Step Name (Not required)– the custom name of the process step that labels the editor’s process step box

Input Parameters

To make variables inside a process visible in a Python step, you need to map them appropriately. There are three categories for this: input variables, output variables, and new variables.

Input Variables: existing variables that can be utilized within the process but will remain unchanged after the execution of Python step

Output Variables: existing variable that reflects a new value after the execution of a Python step

New Variables: new variable that will be accessible beyond the Python step

Additional comments

Robotiq does not support code from Python Step and is not responsible for the versions of Python that are installed. Therefore, to execute Python Step, it is necessary to install Python manually. If a user wants to update to a new version of Python, they must do so manually and ensure that it is compatible with the existing code. Additionally, if a new version of Python is installed or if new Python installations are added, it may be necessary to restart the machine for the new installation to be recognized by the robot.
