Labview with industrial robot connection

[AKanna]

Hi,

   I am in the field of industrial Robots Automation and I am impressed with Labview. So I am plannig to use this as HMI for our industrial robots. Can you please tell me is it possible to connect labview with ABB, Commau, Motoman, Fanuc and KUKA. If yes can you please send me the details.

  I saw a third party software called imagin lab but they are doing only for kuka, denso and mistibushi. 

Thank you

Type "LabVIEW Industrial Robot" into Google and you will see numerous "hits", including White Papers from NI.  This is certainly doable.  You can also contact your local NI representative -- I'm sure NI would be interested in talking to you.

You can see some examples of commercial robots code with LabVIEW in the LabVIEW Tools Network.

1)I have contacted my NI representative but he gave a stupid answer like this

"Hello Mr. ....,

for technical support you need a entitlement which is related to finacial payment. The only way for you to get technical support(without payment) is to use the NI- forum at the NI homepage. Here is theLink. You have to register on the NI homepage and be logged in to use the NI forum. "

2)I tried with third party tools but its only for kuka, denso, mistibushi. not for other robots

3) am posting only after doing some research in internet.

Looking forward for a solution.

You've listed 5 different robot types, and while I'm sure that if those robots are able to communicate with any outside resource they'll be able to do so with LabVIEW; they are five different types of robots and will probably require different LabVIEW solutions for each. 

The robot model and the specifics of exactly what type of communication you're looking for are also required to know "how to do it."

A couple of quick searches tell me that OPC may be required for some of the robot types you listed.   A good place to start with that is here: http://www.ni.com/opc/

Without the specific details it will be difficult to locate an existing solution.  

If a custom solution is required, you may be able to find some assistance creating one on the forums.  But again, details will be requried.
