Hello
So I am trying to set a bool based on the material of a product as an input for the PLC. I worked with OnSignal but this gives problems with setting another bool and the simulation just freezes. If I delete the Sensor…signal(Value) everything works fine or if I just put a random print there. Any reason why the entire simulation just stops because of this line?
Yes I did that and I thought this was the problem but was not sure.
I also tried it in the OnRun and then it works once with triggerCondition but whenever I try to use a while loop but then for some reason it doesn’t find the material anymore.
And with the while it almost freezes everytime and I get the popup of processing as you can see on the picture.
I am sorry for the many questions but I just fixed it like this like you said it the first post. Just deleting the connection ( I thought I had to have a connection to be able to manipulate it with the python script. I feel so dumb and I am staying away from while loops.
If you make such a non-simulation-time-consuming loop in the OnRun method, you need to have a delay() call in the loop. A delay(0) may work, but in practice you want to have a reasonable interval like 0.05 seconds or more.
Otherwise it will be like a while(True) in any other programming language / environment i.e. just loop forever and hang.
