S3 controlled by PC

Hi,
reading manual seems to be possible to send command to S3 controller with a PC, but I don't know what software can do it.
An activeX or information about protocols may be useful.
At this time I have a software to upload/download programs and read write registers, but do not send command directly.
This will be useful to test a program without upload every time.

Regards

JJ

    Since you haven not gotten any replys, I assume that this is not supported. I would therefore like to propose a wild idea that might help: How about
    using a controller like like this http://www.emx.net.au/super4usbrelay.htm
    to simulate pressing the buttons on the S3 controller. You would have to open the S3 controller in order to connect the two controllers. Could this help? Have you found any other solutions?

    You could also maybe, automate the uploading process, though I do not know how long it would take in any case if for example the S3 controller has to process the uploaded program.

    The controller is very interesting for other application :)
    I have left that approach on S3 controller, I use some S3 robot for fixed tasks.
    I'm evaluating now for a S4+ controller, but are necessary much more money, may be in a near future.
    Thanks for reply

    Hi all, is there anyone on this forum that could point me in the direction of some drawings for the ABB S3 controller. Any circuit diagrams or schematic diagrams for the S3 controller.
     

    cheers
