Hello,
I have a robotic cell configuration with an ABB 6-axis robot and a 2-Axis turntable integrated in the same controller. I want to know if there is a driver and api available to work online with the turntable, since the version I have of RDK_DriverSocket sends the 6 positions of robot joints, but it does not implement external axis.
Also, the axis ID number of the turntable are 8 and 9 (7 is reserved for a linear track which is not currently integrated). Although I can change this in the ABB postprocessor for offline programming, Is there a way to specify the ID of the turntable axis in the Robodk configuration?
Thanks!

Have you figured this out?
I have the same problem but with my Kuka 6-axis robot and kuka external axis.
Both are connected to my KRC4 cabinet and i want to use them online.

This requires customizing the robot driver to properly map your axes to the correct index in RoboDK. It is better if you send us an email for this.

Hi everyone, i have similar question, im using abb 1520id robot and irbp-a250 positioner. Robodk's abb post proccessor export the external axis values " [0.000000,46.466600,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]" in wrong order. It writes as first two elements but my controller reads this format " [9E+9,0,46.466600,9E+9,9E+9,9E+9]".
Here is RoboDK posted
Code: MoveL [[372.473,368.917,15.000],[0.00000000,-0.91186237,-0.41049605,0.00000000],[0,0,2,0],[0.000000,46.466600,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]],[25.00,500,5000,1000],z1,torche \WObj:=Frame4;
Here is how i need
Code: MoveL [[372.473,368.917,15.000],[0.00000000,-0.91186237,-0.41049605,0.00000000],[0,0,2,0],[9E+9,0,46.466600,9E+9,9E+9,9E+9]],[3.33,500,5000,1000],z1,torche \WObj:=Frame4;
How can i fix this? Thanks!

I solved this, found an abb post in forum and modified it. Current ABB post cannot be modified. I have a dream that one day all robot posts will be modifiable

The posts are modifiable, just need to ask the rdk guys for the uncompiled version

Thanks @ colinb83 for info. @ Olivier @ Jeremy @ Albert, can you provide me uncompiled version (v38 would be best) of latest ABB IRC5 post?

@ ganimelikonder , as Albert mentioned, it's better if you send an email directly to RoboDK for your post-processor.

Hi Dustin,
If you own a professional version of RDK, you can select "Help"->"Request Support" and we will help you with this.
We don't provide our driver source code on our forum for obvious reasons.
