    Hello V.

    Personally, I have never played with CrossComm or OpenShowVar, maybe if I ever get some spare time (provided access to robot and interest to do so).
    For paid job, I would consider standard route (bite the bullet and buy software option like EthernetKrlXml or RSI or OPC)

    What is the KSS you need to communicate with? There seem to be different version of libraries (even in links you posted).
    It looks like on KRC1, KRC2 library is OCX file but on KRC4 it is the PrimaryInterOp.Cross3Krc.dll?
    No mention about compatibility or if same can be used for different controller versions...

    Either way, when writing own application, one must reference used library before it can be accessed.
    In VB6 it was Ctrl+T and picking registered library from list. To register OCX for example one can use regsvr32 command.
    In Visual Studio (VB.NET for example) same applies but access method may be different (browse folders till DLL is found).
    Then you need to create and initialize object etc. For VB6 this is shown in"Developer documentation CrossCommEXE V1.D1".

    Good luck

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2

    Thanks for the answer !!! I have solved the problem :icon_smile: Instead of copying the whole, I found SetVarDP function that changes the value of a global variable is not even ... In this function, further specifies the path to the file ...)))
    I just KRC2 and uses PrimaryInterOp.Cross3Krc.dll...

    Hey people,
    I know this is an old discussion, but I'm looking for some documentation on how to interface directly to CrossComm, on KRC4... (currently i'm using KUKAVARPROXY)

    Can you help me, Vyastrebov?
