Connecting PC & IRB 1400

Hi there, I'm new here. I hope that someone can help me with my problems over the IRB 1400.
How can I connect PC & the controller so I can control the robot directly using my PC. Do I use PROFIBUS, ethernet, serial, etc. Which way is the best way to connect the PC and controller? What is the plus and minus for each method? Please tell me step-by-step how to do the connection between the PC and the control unit, as well as the requirement to do that.
Second question, when I have successfully connect the PC and the control unit, what program should I use to control it? What is the use of RAP and RAPID?
Thank you in advance
