Associating Libraries to Mediapools

Is it possible to associate a user created Mediapool with a user created RS Library? I would like a specific library loaded each time I use an external axis Mediapool.

Hi DanS,

Yes that should be possible with a little bit of XML editing.
When you start a controller with a mechanical unit that RS doesn’t recognize you’ll encounter this dialog:

What you need to do is to add the mechunit type to the mapping file ABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudioLibraryMappingMechunitLibraryMap.xml.
In this case it would look like this:

The path is relative to the RobotStudioABB Library directory so you would have to copy your library there.

regards,
Johannes

Thank you sir!

I don’t suppose it’s also possible to present a list of libraries to select from? …say for multiple L positioners as an example.

Hi
Just add several mechunit tags with the same type but paths to different libraries.
And when you press OK it will show you a list with all the libraries.
