Installing an Add-In

RobotStudio Add-Ins provided by ABB are available in the Add-Ins Gallery window in RobotStudio.

This topic shows how to navigate the Gallery window, browse its content, and install an Add-In.

Installing a RobotStudio Add-In from RobotStudio

  1. Start RobotStudio and select the Add-Ins tab. Click the Gallery button.

  2. From the displayed window, select RobotStudio Add-Ins.

  3. Select an Add-In or, alternatively, search for an Add-In using the search box and click the Install button (if available). If the Add-In does not have an install button, use the following steps:

Installing a RobotStudio Add-In from an RSPAK File

  1. Locate the .rspak file in the user directory.

Installing a RobotStudio Add-In (legacy method)

  1. Extract the Add-In's assembly file (.dll) and the Add-In file (.rsaddin) from the downloaded content.

  2. Locate the "Assembly" element in the .rsaddin file and copy the .dll file of the Add-In to the directory that the "Path" element points to.

  3. Place the .rsaddin file in a directory that RobotStudio checks for Add-Ins, like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ABB\RobotStudio\Addins".
