Hello all,
I need same application as mentioned in following " link. https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/abb…47112/#msg47112 "
I wanna monitor Robot parameter in PC ( robot-studio is not preferred )
I wanna read tags ( parameters ) from ABB robot. I installed ABB irc5 OPC sever and i created Alias. Robot is connected but it says " need pc-interface option to read tags " .
Is it possible to read tags from robot without PC interface option??
OPC server

You can create a task for communication ( rs 232 ) if you have multitasking option.
Rs232 is also can be used for this but the communication speed won't be so fast and also Its not so easy to do it.Anyway Ill do my best to explain with example:
PERS num data1;
PERS num data2;
PERS num data3;
PERS string dataToSend;PROC main()
dataToSend := NumToStr(data1) + "-" + NumToStr(data2) + "-" + NumToStr(data3);
Write connectionName, dataToSend;ENDPROC
Nevertheless you need to check serial communication on manual.

thx a lot for your reply Mr.Eureka.1. Currently we are using Kepware opc server to get datas from device to PC. It support most of plc's and robots. we built VB app and we r monitoring device data's.. It's easy to work and highly reliable.
whether ABB robot support Total flow ?? http://www.kepware.com/spec-sheets/abb-totalflow.asp ...
if yes how to write syntax for total flow...syntax structure is " <app>.<array>.<reg> Boolean " pls, give some example.2. ABB robot support mod-bus communication??
3..I have idea on socket message and RS 232 communication.
But i dono how to save those datas in PCAny solutions??

hallo
I have same intention with you. like reading the variable value from robot.
like you mentioned you are currently using Kepware to get the data from robot via network. I am wondering what kind of data you can get though Kepware? Just for the files in the C:\ from robot or even for the variables? -
@ mr.CN_Zhang_2015,
From ABB robot i cant able to get any data's . I tried in fanuc robot. It's possible to get string, variables , Boolean and wat-ever we need....
