ABB VB PickMaster Faceplate [PickMaster 3]

PickMaster
1

Hi,

I am trying to integrate the ABB VB faceplate so that the operators do not have access to the actual PickMaster interface. I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installed on my laptop. I am able to complie the projects (OperatorsPanel / OperatorsPanelconfig) but when I try to run the .exe’s, I get the famous “Microsoft encountered an error”.

Any help would be great?

Thanks,

Dino

Hi,

What was the problem? Anything worth sharing?

Fredrik,

When I went through the code I realized that the PickMaster program must be running in the background.

The Operator Panel interface is now integrated but I found a few errors in the code. Originally, if you press the “GET Robot Status” buttons, it would stop the robots. The code was incorrect (programs found on my PickMaster installation CD). I changed the function calls to GetRobotStatus… Also, if you hit Robot STOP, the robot would pause and if you hit PAUSE, the robot would stop. The code made the appropriate function calls but for some reason it is reversed. Therefore, I just moved the buttons on the screen and changed the text labels. Did you ever come across this?

Thanks,

Dino
