* Robot Schedule 10 is not supported on a Robot Network 9 node.
** Available for other Robot Schedule 9 systems only. Robot Network 10 and Robot Schedule 10 do not support a Robot Network 9 node and Robot Schedule 9.
*** Available for other Robot Schedule 9 systems only. Robot Network 10 does not support cross-system reactivity setups and group member setups with Robot Schedule 9.
Other Robot Schedule Considerations
To use Robot Schedule 10 in a Robot Network 10 environment, be aware of the following items:
-
Make sure that Robot Network on the host and alternate host is at R10M00 or later before converting Robot Schedule.
-
You must upgrade the host and alternate host systems to Robot Network 10 before you can upgrade any of the nodes.
-
To use the RBNSNDRBT command between a node and a host, they must have the same version of Robot Schedule installed. That is, the command works between a node and a host if both have Robot Schedule 9, or both have Robot Schedule 10.
