ABB Robotics Language Support

This Visual Studio Code extension provides basic syntax highlighting and language features for ABB programming language files.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for:
    • RAPID (.mod, .modx, .sys, .sysx)
    • CFG (.cfg)
    • CoBlox (.coblox)
    • Install CMD (install*.cmd)
  • Autocomplete and Hover Info for:
    • RAPID Instructions, Functions & Data types
    • EGM (Externally Guided Motion) Instructions, Functions & Data types
    • Force Control Instructions, Functions & Data types
    • install.cmd commands
  • Go to Definition and Find References for RAPID symbols and EIO signals across the workspace (signal names in .mod/.sys resolve to their EIO_SIGNAL declaration in .cfg)
  • Outline / Document Symbols for:
    • RAPID
    • CFG
    • CoBlox
  • Scope-aware token coloring
  • Case-insensitive keyword matching
  • Open with Add-In Packaging Tool: Right-click on .rpkproj files to open them directly with ABB's RW Add-In Packaging tool (if installed)
  • Open with ABB AppStudio: Right-click on .aspproj or .asppag files to open them with ABB AppStudio; a second menu entry uses the abb-robotics.appStudioPath setting to support custom install paths (e.g. different AppStudio versions)
  • Backup annotation: when a backup is opened as a workspace, the RAPID/TASKS folders are annotated with the first two letters of the task name, mouse over will display the complete task name

Requirements

No additional tools are required. The extension works out of the box with Visual Studio Code (v1.90.0 or newer).
