Device Automation

This action creates a device automation step. Before using the Device Automation feature, you must configure Automation Devices and specify a reference to an Automation Device (not required when automating terminals).

Properties

Configure the Device Automation step using the following properties.

Input Value
Provide an input value for the device automation workflow. If you provide values in this property before editing a new device automation step, when you click Edit, the values are automatically added to the Device Automation workflow.
Output Mapping
Assign a variable to hold the output value from the Device Automation step.
Required Devices
Specify the way to connect to an Automation Device for the Device Automation step. You can select Static Reference or Dynamic Reference. After selecting Static Reference, specify an Automation Device Mapping to use. If you select Dynamic Reference, specify a mapping name to use in the Connect to Device step. See Reference to Automation Device for more information. Once the Dynamic Reference connection was used by the robot and device is connected, the connection stays alive and can be used by the next Device Automation steps in your robot.
