Hello,

I am new to ABB and Robotstudio. I am trying to understand what the difference between PC SDK and the PC Interface? We have a new IRC5 Compact with the PC Interface, but I am not really sure what the PC SDK is or if we have that on our controller?

Thanks,
SM

Hi Steve,
PC Interface is an Ethernet communication option where you can pull all datas from robot controller.
PC SDK ( Software development kit ) is an application, where you can develop some apps to monitor robot parameter from command center.
Hope this helps.

It is an option that you must purchase if you have not done so already.
