Robot communications - OPENSHOWVAR

[nowire75]

You must connect the robot and the pc at the same lan network with the
same subnetmask (normal lan network)

Create folder in C:\ (C:\OPENCROSSCOMM) of the robot, then copy the
openkuka.rar file and extract the files. Then run OPENCROSSCOMM.exe. On
the robot the job is finished.

now make a folder on a normal PC an extract the openshowvar files. then
run openshowvar.exe.
Now add a new variable like $tool or $ov_pro and press the start
command.

Hi,

could you tell me where can I find the openkuka.rar file with the opencrosscom.exe inside to be able to comunicate with the robot from another pc.

Thank you very much.

Hi alph,

you can download the files here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=207397

put opencrosscomm on the robot (make a opencrosscomm folder) and openshowvar on the remote PC.

Hi,

I want to communicate with my Kuka via opencrosscom and Labview. Can you give me some documentation about de protocol used to register a variable, get a value, etc ?

Just basic documentation is ok for me. For exemple :

- send over TCP/IP a command  "record variable XXYY" to record a variable
- send over TCP/IP a command "get value variable XXYY" to get the value

I want also to write some variables, it is possible?

Thanks for your answer and for your good job for this software ;-)

Hello Nowire75,
have KR C2 ver 5.2.19,
have done as per instruction,
I can see IMSCROSSCOM running on bot,
have global vars that I can see on KCP,
but when I select ADD in openShowVar I can't get a value into the Robot list field.
Any idea where am I going wrong?
Thanks
