Connect to control panel of ABB robot

Hi community, we are using IXON for VPN to our ABB robot. Is it possible to connect and control the control panel? Hope you can help!

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for sharing your question.

I’m not familiair with the ABB robot control panel. Does it have a VNC server (or option to install it)? Or a HTTP server?

These are the common ways to take over a control panel using the IXON portal and app.

Hi Sjors,

Thanks, will look into this.

Where can I find more info on how to configure this in the portal?

You can find the steps for configuration of HTTP and VNC service here.

Hi Piotr (or anybody else),

I was trying to connect the control panel to the Ixon, but I couldn’t get it to work.
I am using an IRC5 controller.

I tried to put an VNC server on the control panel, but I cannot unpack/download this file (error: “File is not supported”). Does anybody have an step by step guide how to solve this problem?

And does anybody know if you could only view or also control the control panel from the Ixon?

Thanks in advance,

Jarno
