You can now follow the installation instructions from the ABB install server tutorial.MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 48000 Hz This is a simulated version of the FlexPendant on the real robot on which you need to install the driver.įirst go into MANUAL mode by selecting the button left from the joystick and turning the key in the upright position. Select the tab controller and then FlexPendant. You are now ready to install the ROS-Industrial driver in RobotStudio: Note: use the IP of your workstation running RobotStudio, the IP shown here is only an example. IF (SocketGetStatus(server_socket) = SOCKET_CREATED) SocketBind server_socket, "192.168.1.1", port IF (SocketGetStatus(server_socket) = SOCKET_CREATED) SocketBind server_socket, GetSysInfo(\LanIp), port Now open ROS_socket.sys and change the following line: If your workstation does not have a static IP address, you'll have to repeat the below changes each time your IP address changes. In the example below, we'll assume that this IP is 192.168.1.1. Make sure your Windows PC has a static IP configured. Go to \RobotStudio\Systems and select the folder corresponding to the name of your station.Ĭopy all the files from abb_driver/rapid (Indigo and later) directory and place them in the newly created ROS directory.Īs the GetSysInfo(.) function does not return a valid IP address when used in RobotStudio (it returns "VC" instead of the IP of your Windows machine), we need to change something in the ROS_socket.sys source file. and select 616-1 PC interface and 623-1 Multitasking.īefore continuing in RobotStudio, you need to put the RAPID files of the ROS driver on the controller of the created arm. There should be only one mechanism, so just press Next >.Ĭlick Options.
Give the system a name, leave the rest of the options untouched and press Next >. Select Robot System and choose From Layout. You can zoom (scroll wheel), move ( CTRL+drag mouse) and rotate ( CTRL+SHIFT+drag mouse). Select ABB library and pick the robot type you want to model. In the opening dialog, create an empty station.Open RobotStudio by clicking on the icon that was placed on the desktop during installation.
The following steps will set up a robot arm able to communicate with ROS in RobotStudio: You can look online for tutorials or have a look at the RobotStudio forum). Note that there is a 30-days trial version of the software, but that you will need a license in the long run (RobotStudio is a very powerful tool with many options. Install ABB RobotStudio from the ABB website. The following steps will guide you for setting up the environment on the WINDOWSPC: In this case, there are two PC's: one PC running windows and a simulated ABB arm (called the WINDOWSPC from now on) and one PC running Ubuntu and ROS (called ROSPC from now on). It's possible to simulate the communication between ROS and an ABB arm, by replacing the real arm by a simulated arm.
