yes, you can write your own windows application, the only challenge is accessing robot variables... 
Hi panic mode,
if i write my own Windows Application...
How to start it at a KUKA-Window like "variable list"?
Is it possible with OCX?

There are a lot of ways:
- You can write your own plugin for KUKA_HMI with standart plugin procedures. (Like Variable->Overview screen)
- You can use KUKA.HMI Genesis software and KUKA.OPC from KUKA (HMI integrated to system software)
- You can use KUS Software from KUKA (HMI integrated to system software)
- You can use WinCC Flexible from Siemens and KUKA.OPC from KUKA (HMI not integrated to system software) etc.
If you need only menu element, Inline form or softkey you can use Usertech technology package.
thanks for all ... i had need too

Hi, fluke,
what's the KUS ?
Only for information
if you are smart enough you can use kuka librarby (KukaRoboter.LegacyKrcServiceLib.dll) to Access KRC variables like tool, base, robot Actual position etc etc.
I have created my own interface which I have linked in kuka Diagnosis Menu which find the Spot welding point name with x,y,z, A,B,C cordinates with tool and base also save as an excel file.

very interesting! your app run in the HMI like a plugin. Did you created *.dll or *.exe file ?
Hello irobot
yes I have create a dll file which is calling though HMI. If you would like to integrate your application in KUKA HMI without using any other external application than definetly you have to create a Dll file uisng wpf applicaion.

Would be kind enough to share the Source code of the WPF application u developed? if you dont want to share it in public could you please send it to my PM. I also want to make such plugin, i have the knowledge to develop a plugin but dont know how to integrate it with the KUKA HMI... Thanks a lot in advance!
Any examples....please
Hi,
Anyone have a example?
I found the dll kukaroboter.legacy...
Thanks in adavance!
BR, Ricardo
If you have the dll, you could use dependency walker to find out what functions the dll exports, and then use trial and error to test them.

I am looking for the relevant information.Can you tell me how to generate dll file
I have looked through alot of posts trying to figure this one out, used the dll as mentioned above. Looking at the dll using dependancy walker totally confused me. So next step was to import the dll into a visual studio project and it kind of started to make more sense but i am still confused as hell.
I assume you have obviously put a lot of work into dissecting the dll, but could you please provide some guidance, as i would also like to make use of the dll to extract data from the robot.
Thanks
Has anyone figured out how to generate the dll file?
What software to use?
