Hi,

I also posted in the C3Bridge GitHub repo, but not sure how that is maintained compared to the proprietary version distributed with RoboDK. I am running1.6 (PROPRIETARY)on the Kuka controller.

Basically, I am trying to start the RoboDKsync543 program remotely and remove any need for the teach pendent. I got to the point that I can send aProgramControlRequestto the C3Bridge server, but get an opaqueErrorGeneral联合国specified Error. I tried running the C3Bridge server in debug and verbose mode, but the text logs dont show anything additional. The full response from the server is(18, 5, 10, 5, 0, False).

More details and python code that can be used to repro can be found in this issue:https://github.com/ulsu-tech/c3bridge-server/issues/3. I am using the KRC4 controller if that is relevant.

Thanks!
Rick

Hi Rick,
Just replied to you on GitHub and wrote you an email.
I'll duplicate the response here.

Code:

import struct

name = "/R1/Program/RoboDKsync543"
name_len = len(name)
msg_id = 1026
params = ""
param_len = len(params)
req_len = 9 + name_len * 2 + param_len * 2
msg_type = 10
command_code = 5
interpreter_type = 1
force = False

request = struct.pack(
'!HHBBHH'+str(name_len * 2)+'s'+'H'+str(param_len * 2)+'s' + '?',
msg_id,
req_len,
msg_type,
command_code,
interpreter_type,
name_len,
name.encode('UTF-16'),
param_len,
params.encode('UTF-16'),
force
)

s = request.hex()
print(" ".join(s[i:i+2] for i in range(0, len(s), 2)))

The result:

Code:

Thanks Dmitry, that makes a lot of sense, appreciate it.
