KUKA.Sim - Read and Write to KRL variables from python script?

    Hello

    I am currently using kuka.sim 4.3 and have a KRL project imported. The KRL programs seem to run in kuka.sim when selected and executed individually.

    There is a cell.src script which seems to look for an external controller (possibly a PLC) to give a PG.NO to run

    Question : Is it possible to expose KRL variables in a KRL program to a python script for a component and also modify it during simulation (or) connect to the signals in the config.dat and read its output in a python script.

    It would be great to be able to read and write to KRL variables from a python script. in the case below the PGNO variable inside of getting it from L83.

    Could anyone provide an example to read and write to a KRL variable in a KRL program via a python script please? or if its even possible?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't have KUKA.Sim, but my understanding is that the current versions are basically Visual Components with some KUKA-specific modifications. In "vanilla" VC, there isn't any KRL (or TP, or RAPID, etc) unless you use one of the postprocessor output add-ons, and that's a one-way export.

    In VC, robot variables in the VC robot objects are accessible from Python, so I assume the same would hold true for KSim. But I'm unsure about the KRL program variables.

    You might have better luck asking this in the Visual Components user forum.

    Hi MOM Could you send a link to VRC-Interface please, just so I know I am looking at the right one? have you had any experience in exposing the KRL I/Os and variables from kuka.som to "VRC-Interface" - was it straightforward to use?
