KSS: 8.5.8
Robot: Various
Referring to this old thread that massula started about 5 years back, curious if there's been any follow up? (Source: KRC4 system messages manual)
Working on passing messages over TCP with the KRmsgNET TP. The following is a snippet from KRmsgNETSettings.xml, along with a comment for what the XML allows as far as customization. As you can tell, there's no option for message "severity" or importance. Best I see is %MessageType, which is not very granular.
Alternatively, there's the MBX_REC command. Documentation on this is... limited. Any pointers on what this function does, beyond the function definition EXTFCTP INT MBX_REC(INT MBX_ID :IN,STOPMESS MESS :OUT) from $OPERATE.DAT and $OPERATE_2.DAT? (source: KRC4 list of functions and subprograms)
