Good Morning Everyone,
What is the easiest way for me to pass a string value from a RXLogix5000 PLC to a robot RAPID program?
Thank-you in advance.

Is it suitable option for you to store up predefined strings at Robot? If so you can just read some number from a group input and then recall a corresponding string via TPWrite.
Or may be you want to develope a complete chat for Robot?
Make use of TCP sockets
Hi Wellfedded,
Yes, I realize using a group input would be the easiest way to pass information to the robot but I'm looking to make use of a part number, scanned in with a bar code reader, that is essentially all text. I can easily deal with the text PLC side but would much rather deal with the whole mess in RAPID, as this is where the information is required. Thank-you for you input.
Benxi,
That sounds like the best route to pursue. Could you give me a brief description of how I would go about this? I'm not overly familiar with this method.
Thanks again.
