Hi, do you know if this works with robotware 5.15? It seems like "PC Interface" and "Multitasking" are available in our controller. Thank you

This package uses robot web services which I do not believe is available before version 6. Which robot are you using snd with which institution?

I think it is possible to update to version 6.x from 5.x on most controllers. Have you contacted ABB?
