Application Builder 5.09
PS SDK using C#
I am very new to Robot Application Builder. So I am going through the manual and trying examples that the manual gives and having some problems.
I have this at the top just under public partial class Form1.
private Controller controller = null;
private NetworkScanner scan = new NetworkScanner();
private ControllerInfoCollection controllers;
Then in Form1_Load() I have of test for scan object simaler to what your examples show except I just wanted to see if it works and am not displaying the data so I just have.
this.scan.Scan();
controllers = scan.Controllers;
and it works.
Next I wanted to test reading data from the controller so I created an button and placed this code in it.
RapidData rd = controller.Rapid.GetRapidData(“T_Rob1”, “User”, “reg1”);
However when I try to run it I get and error telling me
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Message=“Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”
at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
and states that I need to create a new instance of the object.
So I added this to the bottom of the Form1_load code.
controller = new Controller(controllers[0]);
now I get and error saying:
System.ComponentModel.LicenseException was unhandled
Message=“A valid license cannot be granted for the type ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Licenses.PCSdk. Contact the manufacturer of the component for more information.”
