Hi, I have a tool to connect the robot IRB-120, namely BarrettHand, and I have to handle it. 
I have the libraries of the tool, and its program, but do not know how to establish the connection with it, can anyone help? 
Thank you

    First of all you need to configure the serial channel. Read the manual Technical reference manual - System parameters and the topic communication on how to configure the serial channel.
    In the Rapid manual you have the information on how to program it but take a look on iodev

    Thank you.
    You know if I can get the libraries from BarrettHand within Rapid ?
    It has the necessary functions to move the hand, and do not know how to do it without them.
    Thank you
