KUKAVARPROXY native VB.NET library

Hello everyone!

I've built a simple VB.NET native library to communicate with KUKAVARPROXY.
It builds the TCP packet to make the read/write requests to KUKAVARPROXY.exe without using JOpenShowVar.
Read/write time is around 7-8ms.

KUKAVARPROXY.exe is included in the archive you are downloading, just unzip it and run it on the robot controller, you may also put it into the windows startup folder, to ,make it start when robot is tuned on.
Also, modify KUKA firewall to allow port 7000 TCP.

Attached you will find the visual studio 2012 project with a demo application

UPDATE March 2020:

- some bugs in the TCP communication corrected

- have a look at https://github.com/ImtsSrl/KUKAVARPROXY for the KUKAVARPROXY program.

irobot, I used the reference from your blog! (thanks google translate)

KUKAVARPROXY.exe is included in my archive

Quote from axv6l

Ok so i must copy KUKAVARPROXY.exe on krc4 and start, correct?
but KUKAVARPROXY.exe not create problem when robot running?

Yes, KUKAVARPROXY has been long time tested by the robot community and seems not to have problems but it's supplied without any warranties.
Don't forget to open port 7000 TCP on robot's firewal.

hello, yes it still usable, but i do not offer any warranty on the code!

you have access to any GLOBAL variables you delclare in your .dat files

DO NOT expect real-time communication and do not use this variable exchange method to control process-critical aspects.

I have come up with an update of the socket communication, i will update the files shortly.
