How to send current program name via EIP to PLC?

    Hello, I want to send the currently active program name to PLC. The robot is with EIP option. I need to visualize the program name on HMI!

    I know from which variable to take the name, but doesn't know how to write it in SR and send it via GO!

    GO's are integers, so not much use for sending a string.


    You must use a string resister SR.


    If you know the system variable then you could try to set an SR = to that variable in BG Logic. Then use an explicit message to read that string resister. On AB PLCs it is the MSG instruction.
