Hello,

you can let the system launch your application when changing the operating mode of the controller. This also works when you start-up the controller.

On the FlexPendant, go to **Control Panel/System/View on operating mode change;** and enter the requested information.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is a bug in RW5.06 Build95 and this is not working right now. I created a PDD and let you know when I have new information. (or you just give it a try; maybe I did something wrong).

It is not possible to show a designated window of your application, only launch it.

best regards

Ren?

Hello,

you have to enter the following in Control Panel/Systems/View on op mode change to let your application start-up automatically (when the controller starts-up):

Dll:

TpsViewXXX.gtpu.dll

Type:

ABB.Robotics.SDK.Views.TpsViewXXX

Where XXX is the name of your app. Use TpsViewType.Static in your application to avoid that multiple instances are created.
