Will installing MotoPlus [..]
First: on a YRC1000, you would not be "installing MotoPlus". MotoPlus (the SDK at least) is a development environment. The runtime environment is already present on the YRC1000. The only thing you would do is install MotoROS. That's a MotoPlus application.
Will installing MotoPlus have any effect on the "standard" functioning of the pendant?
No.
Will the installation impact the behavior of other control methods?
No.
MotoROS1 uses a regular INFORM job to control when the ROS node would have control over the robot. If that job isn't active, no external control is possible.
MotoROS1 will attempt to start the job though if the ROS node asks it to. But it can only do that if the controller is in remote mode (ie: the Programming Pendant is not the single point of control).
All other INFORM programs can still run as normal and the robot would not start moving "suddenly" just because a ROS node wants it to. You have to actively allow MotoROS1 to take control.
