What do you need exactly ? - please explain your small program functionality required...

I bump this thread again.

 

I want to get in contact with someone that have possibility to help me with a small program that will Get and Set data in our IRB6400R S4C-Plus controller.

 

I do not feel to pay for the SDK for only one small app, the price was not nice.

 

An ohter way maybe is to use OPC, we have WW-Server.

Any one that worked with OPC and s4c-plus???

I want some way of get and put data to the controller from a allready existing application. Guess that it should be possible to write some gateway like app.
I ask the gateway for value of "RotateX" and the gateway ask contoller and get the answer in return. And reverse I can tell the gateway to set "RotateX" to "90" and gateway will try to do that?

 

I guess again, you only need a license when compileing the code???

 

To run a compiled exe or use a dll you only need license in controller "148-1 FactoryWare Interface" Right???

Hi

What do you call help ?

 

Do you want a quotation to develop a SDK program ?

=> Contact you local ABB representative with a requirements document for a quotation

 

Do you want to use Webware SDK without paying the license, because it is too expensive ?

=> I don't think a company like Metso would do that !

 

May be contacting ABB After sales with explanation that you use already Webware server and describing what you would do would help having a better price on webware SDK ?

 

Now if you only want to read write a variable , use OPC Server which is free if your robot has the factoryware interface. The web is full of sample. And if you install Webware SDK you wil even have a sample on how to use OPC with VB

 

Buying webware help you having support for it and reward the work put on it.

"Do you want to use Webware SDK without paying the license, because it is too expensive ?"

First, I do not looking for a pirate copy... I am looking for a person or company that have the license and can help me with writing the code. Of course I am willing to pay for the resulting App/Dll...

 

"Do you want a quotation to develop a SDK program ?"

Yes, correctly.

 

"May be contacting ABB After sales"

Allready done that and the price was to BIG, and no discount.

If you are a company that program many apps or selling apps to others, then maybe the price can be OK. But writing this app to get only some values to/from controller it's to much.

 

"Now if you only want to read write a variable...."

We have factoryware in our robotcontroller. Is OPC an alternative to SDK for only read/Write Num or bool???
Where can I find ABB OPC-Server, and who have WW-SDK and can send me the example??

HI

 

I will contact ABB Sweden to see if possible to do this developement, I will come back on that next week.

 

It will be difficult to do a DLL , because the license will be activated when you include the dll in an other APP.

 

For OPC server , if you have Webware server installed , then you already have the OPC Server included  in the data Collector (for S4 robots)

 

For Webware SDK download , you should contact After sales of your country

 

JC

Tedenljung

Have I understand you right...

 

The InterLink Datacollector is also OPC-Server?

 

And I can use that to Write/Read any of the num/bool etc. in the controller?

 

Can you give me a link to some HowTo Example in C# or VB?

 

About Dll:

Ok, that is not a solution then.

 

ABB Sweden:

Ok, some one will contact me then?

Hi Daniel

Here is a small OPC example I wrote in VB6 long time ago, so I don't remember what it did and I don't have VB6 anymore.
Maybe you could get something out of it

 

webwiz/930/OPC_Applications.zip

 

 

JC ALT

Yes Interlink is also an OPC server for S4 robots, and you can use it to read/write Persistent data and IO.

 

As I said there is samples available for Webware SDK customers

 

You should contact ABB After sales in Sweden for a training day about these products and how to do it. Contact the person who sold you Webware server.

I have now download a OPC-Browser. And there is one ABB IRC5 OPC Server.

When browsing IRC5 server I only see one of our two IRC5-Robots.

 

I do not see any s4c-plus server.

You have installed ABB IRC5 OPC Server which has nothing to do with Webware , it is an ABB IRC5 OPC Server only.

Try on the machine which is data Collector of your webware server installation

 

JC 

Tedenljung

Yes, thank you!

 

Now I can see the S4 OPC Server.

But now there is an other problem, but I take that in an other Thread and not today!

 

I will look on Google for some OPC in C# examples.
