HTML5 Run Robot

In Niagara 4.14 and later, there is added browser supports the Run Robot step. This step passes the specified ProvisioningRobot (custom-created program code) located in the Supervisor station to the ProgramService on each station in the job. The station’s ProgramService runs the custom code in the remote station. The “HTML5” version of this view is a web-browser-based implementation and it provides the same functions as the Workbench view.

To access this view, expand Config > Drivers > NiagaraNetwork and click .ProvisioningNwExt. To open the job steps window, click Image and double-click Run Robot or select Run Robot and click OK.

The Run Robot window opens. Specify a provisioning robot on the Supervisor. This adds the job step in the top pane (Provisioning steps to run) of the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View. The ProgramService of each station in the provisioning job runs the robot. Usage is expected to be infrequent, perhaps as a temporary measure for some misbehaving third-party software module. This job step fails if a station’s Software device extension is disabled or in fault.
