Staubli Language alternative

    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...
