EGM Proto message expected number of bytes

General
1

Hello all,

I am just wondering what version of the EGM proto.buf is the most up to date?

From my virtual controller I recieve 518 bytes, however from my real machine IRB6400 with fresh EGM install I get 469 bytes, and my protobuffer decoder does not work (but works for the virtual machine).

I checked with wireshark and there are no packets or bytes being lost during send/recieve, it is just that the controller is sending less bytes, is there a way to check what version of the proto.buf my controller is using?

Any ideas?

You can find the proto file for your controller in the RobotWare folder. It is located either on the physical controller drive or in the RobotStudio installation directory, for example: .\ABB.RobotWare-6.16.3007\RobotPackages\RobotWare_RPK_6.16.3007\utility\Template\EGM
You must select the file that matches the version of RobotWare you are using on the station.

Thanks for your response, I have located the EGM protobuffer template for RobotStudio, however my Controller drive does not seem to have a copy of it anywhere publicly accessible.

Fixed! I was using a later version of the egm protobuffer introduced in a later version of robotware.

They however did have the same version number even though they are incompatible with one another…
