I have a Staubli RS60 robot with the CS8C controller. I am wanting to integrate this arm into an existing system. Presently my system uses VB.net and my existing controller has a CAN bus system.
Is there a way to operate this system directly without using the VAL3 software system? I would like to use the Staubli as a slave system and control through a LAN port or CAN port.
Thank you.

The CS8 controller has always been advertised as an "open controller" accessible via VB, VC++, blah, blah, blah, with full API support. I've never seen it done. I suspect this is another French cultural aspect of "simply being clever" with the facts. Perhaps the solution does exist. This is a question best asked directly of Staubli Applications Engineering. Contact your local office.
I do recall that there was a German company called..."manz" ? automation that developed a language & controller independent of the CS8. They seemed to have dropped that market, but you never know...

Thank you for your response. I received a response from Manz but we are only getting through the language barriers at this time.
