The secondary development of ABB robots: the programming of robot controller scanning program based on PC SDK

Text: Scan controller

After setting the properties, adjust the size of the control and make a reasonable layout in the window, as shown in the figure below.

3. Development interface reference

After the ABB robot secondary development kit is installed, the default installation location is C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\ Robotics IT\SDK\PCSDK 6.08, so browse to the file directory location, and add ABB.Robotics.Controllers.PC.dll to the project reference.

IV. Code writing

1. Double-click the Botton common control to open the code editing window. First, add the namespace related to the secondary development of ABB robots in the upper part of the code editing page. The code is shown below.

//Add namespace using ABB.Robotics.Controllers; using ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Discovery;

2. Declare the machine in the Form1 window classThe member variable of the network scanner of the human controller, the code is shown below.

private NetworkScanner scanner = null;//Declare the network scanner member variable 

3. Write the scanning robot controller code under the click event function of the button Botton1.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {this.scanner = new NetworkScanner();//Create a network scanner instance object this.scanner.Scan();//Start scanning ControllerInfoCollection controllers = scanner.Controllers;//Store the scanned controller in the controller information collection ListViewItem item = null; //Traverse the controller information in the controller information collection and add the required information to the list display control in turn foreach (ControllerInfo controllerInfo in controllers) {item = new ListViewItem(controllerInfo.SystemName);//System name item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo.IPAddress.ToString());//IP address item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo.Version .ToString());//System version item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo.ControllerName);//Controller name this.listView1.Items.Add(item);}}}} }

The complete program code is as follows Show:

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Data;using System.Drawing;using System.Linq;using System.Tex t;using System.Threading.Tasks;using System.Windows.Forms;//Add the namespace using ABB.Robotics.Controllers;using ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Discovery;namespace WindowsFormsApp3{ public partial class Form1: Form {public Form1( ) {InitializeComponent();} //Robot controller scanning private NetworkScanner scanner = null;//Declare network scanner member variablesprivate void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {this.scanner = new NetworkScanner();//Create a network scanner instance object this.scanner.Scan();//Start scanning ControllerInfoCollection controllers = scanner.Controllers;// Store the scanned controller in the controller information collection ListViewItem item = null; //Traverse the controller information in the controller information collection and add the required information to the list display control in turn foreach (ControllerInfo controllerInfo in controllers ) {item = new ListViewItem(controllerInfo.SystemName); item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo.IPAddress.ToString()); item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo.Version.ToString()); item.SubItems.Add(controllerInfo. ControllerName); this.listView1.Items.Add(item);}} }}

5. Run test

There are two ways to run test of ABB robot PC SDK secondary development software:
