Developer Tools
1

Hello,

I have been working with the flex pendant. Now, I created some buttons in my application, when these buttons are clicked, numbers are returned, I want to convert these numbers to rapidatas.So this is where my problems lie. How do I do this?

Thanks…

You can do it in the following way:

Declaration of a value in VS:

ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.Num nMyValueVS;

Write that numerical value to the controlller:
double newStatus = 0;

Rd = AController.Rapid.GetRapidData(“T_ROB1”, “MyMod”, “MyNumValue”);

nMyValueVS= (ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.Num)Rd.Value;

nMyValueVS.FillFromNum(newStatus);

this.Rd.Value = this.nMyValueVS;

Good luck and BR

Hi Chaos,

Have a little question about your example.

When I use the code you provided i get 2 errors on the last line of code. Here is the code I used:

RapidData rd;
ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.String sRecipeName;
string sNewRecipeName = "Teststring";

rd = aController.Rapid.GetRapidData("T_Recipe", "Recipe", "RecipeName");
sRecipeName = (ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain.String)rd.Value;
sRecipeName.FillFromString(sNewRecipeName);
this.rd.Value = this.sRecipeName;

on the last line I get the following errors:
1- Error 1 ‘TpsViewTestCSharp.view_test’ does not contain a definition for ‘rd’ and no extension method ‘rd’ accepting a first argument of type ‘TpsViewTestCSharp.view_test’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

2 - Error 2 ‘TpsViewTestCSharp.view_test’ does not contain a definition for ‘sRecipeName’ and no extension method ‘sRecipeName’ accepting a first argument of type ‘TpsViewTestCSharp.view_test’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Looks like I’m missing a reference or something, but don’t know which one.
