PC SDK - hardware info?

Developer Tools
1

Hello everybody!

I would like ask if it is possible to get information about IRC5 controller hardware with use of PC SDK? For example: SafeMove Controller - firmware version and revision? I know it is possible to get information about mechanical units, but can’t find anything about optional hardware. I know this informations are available in ABB menu in Flexpendant → System Info. Is there any way to get this information from the controller (maybe some .xml file…)?

Regards,

Hi
You can probably do this by using the DeviceManger class in namespace ABB.Robotics.Controllers. I tested/played a bit with the code below. Perhaps it can give you some ideas.

MyDevicemanager = new DeviceManager(MyController);

ienumerable1 = MyDevicemanager.GetChildren();

foreach (IDeviceNode idevicenode1 in ienumerable1)
{
ienumerable2=idevicenode1.GetChildren();
foreach (IDeviceNode idevicenode2 in ienumerable2)
{
ienumerable3=idevicenode2.GetChildren();
foreach (IDeviceNode idevicenode3 in ienumerable3)
{
ienumerable4 = idevicenode3.GetChildren();
foreach (IDeviceNode idevicenode4 in ienumerable4)
{
ienumerable5 = idevicenode4.GetChildren();
if (idevicenode4.ToString().Equals(“Computer power supply”))
{
Debug.Print(idevicenode4.ToString());
}
}
}
}
}

Thank you for fast answer!

I will investigate this way and post as soon as I will get some results.
