normally you do not transmit text, you make a list of messages at the HMI and call them up by index. in other words you only transmit an integer to tell your HMI which message to display, rest is done on HMI.
what else is your HMI connected to? is there a PLC or PC...?
if your HMI has connection to that PLC, you can wire few I/O to the robot and use them as code for message you wish to display...
Hi,
I would suggest to go with the HMI make same as your PLC make. Then you may map a 16 or 32 bit signal in between robot and PLC.
Change the value of this signal in robot program depending on the status and on the HMI define corresponding messages.
I have been doing this on Siemens platform and it is very easy to accomplish.
Thanks
You can send direct message string with RS232 interface. You can found description in forum.

maybe not, what if the controller is KRC4?
No. KRC2 sending string with RS232 or you can get string with VB or other development interface with CrossComm.
