ABB Robotics / SQL4Rapid

SQL4Rapid consists of two program modules. SQL4Rapid, the actual module block which establishes the connection to the SQL4automation Connector, and main1, the example for how to integrate the SQL4Rapid program module.

Requirements

The Robot control system or the Offline system must be equipped with the following options:

841-1 EtherNet /IP M/S

616-1 PC Interface.

Variables to be defined

LOCAL CONST num nMaxRows:=50; ! max Number of Datasets, from Table-Array

LOCAL CONST num nMaxColumns:=20; ! max Number of Columns, from Table-Array

LOCAL VAR string strTableValues{nMaxRows,nMaxColumns}; ! Table of results

LOCAL VAR string strColumnsName{nMaxColumns}; ! Column names

LOCAL CONST num nBoundRequestArray:=10; ! Maximum Index of the Request_String-Array

LOCAL VAR string strRequest{nBoundRequestArray}; ! Request-String-Array

LOCAL VAR num nResultState; ! Status / Error message of request

LOCAL VAR num nResultRows; ! Number of received Datasets

LOCAL VAR num nResultColumns; ! Number of received Columns

LOCAL VAR string strIP:="127.0.0.1"; ! IP address of the Connector

LOCAL VAR num nPort:=11001; ! Port of the connection

LOCAL VAR bool xHoldConnection; ! Holds the connection open between several queries.

LOCAL VAR socketdev Socket; ! Socket for the connection

Executing the Sample Project

Under Control – Create System, create a new system with the options 840-1 EtherNet /IP M/S and 616-1 PC Interface. Create a new station, and select the created system.

Under Control – Program module, add the modules “main1” and “SQL4Rapid”.

Configure the SQL4automation Connector as described in 3 Configuring the SQL4automation Connector

and configure the connection to the S4A_Test_DB.mdb. The configuration of the connection to the database is described in chapter 4.1.2 Setting up the connection to the test database.

Under Simulation, the program execution is started.
