PC Interface with Robotware 6.03

Nismo83

We have 4 new IRC5 controllers with RobotWare 6.03 installed with option 616-1 PC Interface installed. After linking them with the ABB OPC Server, the only signal that I can access from the controllers is "InterfaceState" with a value of "2". From the help manual, a "2" means that the robot controller does not have the PC Interface option installed. I have verified that PC Interface is listed under the installed options but I'm still having trouble accessing all of the data items through ABB OPC server. We are trying to get them talking to a GUI interface. I noticed that the tasks are different from our other robots running older RobotWare. Our new controllers are running T_ROB1 and cmdtask, with the older ones running T_ROB1, guisock, pnttask, tpusock and wdtask. Any ideas on why we cannot access these signals via ABB OPC? Is there a different version of PC Interface that is required for the new RobotWare? We are not very familiar with RobotWare 6 and up.

Update: I installed an older version of ABB OPC Server, 5.61 and I'm able to view all IO signals and RAPID through OPC on these new controllers. We had the newest version OPC 6.03 installed and for some reason it was not wanting to serve up the IO or RAPID signals. There has to be something we are missing on the new OPC version.
