    Hi Klaus

    Here comes an example how to check if controller is started.

    Sub ControllerStatus()
        Dim m As Mechanism
        Dim c As ABBS4Controller
       
        On Error Resume Next
       
        Set m = ActiveMechanism
        Set c = m.Controller
        If c Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "Controller not Started"
        Else
            MsgBox "Controller  Started"
        End If
    End Sub

    Here is another example


    Function isTheControllerStarted(irb As Mechanism) As Boolean
    Dim c As ABBS4Controller

    isTheControllerStarted = False
    On Error GoTo errController:
    Set c = irb.Controller
    isTheControllerStarted = True
    Exit Function
    errController:
    End Function
