Using RobotWebServices to access a remote Virtual Controller

Maxim Riabichev

Hello,

To access a remote VC with RWS successfully, please perform the following steps:

On the PC which is hosting the remote VC:
1) If it doesn't already exist, create a file called "vcconf.xml" in "C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics IT\RobVC\"
2) Put the following content in it:

<VCConfiguration>

<RemoteVCConfiguration PublicationEnabled="true" />

<hosts>

<host ip="192.168.125.55"/>

</hosts>

</VCConfiguration>

3) Change the ip address (bold above) to the ip of the local PC from which you will be accessing the remote VC resources.

That should do it.

You're basically white-listing the IP of the client. If you don't, you'll get the "RAPI Unidentified Error" when trying to access resources on the remote VC.

Perfect, I was just about to ask why it didn't work remotely! Thanks!

Is it possible to white list multiple ip addresses?
