Yes, you can. However, the information provided is way more limited than what you can get using the ABB PC SDK. To get general information from the robot using EGM, inspect the message header sent from the robot to the external device using the Egm.cs library provided by ABB. You can also refer to their manual for a better understanding of what kind of information they provide through EGM.

To help developers (and myself) with common issues with EGM, here is a sanity checklist:
4343
- [ ] First of all, make sure your ABB robot is compatible (and enabled) with externally guided motion. You can do that by connecting your robot controller to your computer, and checking if EGM is available and enabled in its RobotWare installation (Controller Tab > Installation Manager in RobotStudio). Please be careful, as any wrong changes in your system may result in software issues.
4444
- [ ] Make sure you registered a UDP Unicast Device for your external device (e.g., HoloLens) in your robot controller system. You can also do that by connecting your robot to your computer and registering the device in the Configuration > Communication tab of RobotStudio. Right-click to register a new device (writing access is necessary). This option will only be available if EGM is enabled on your controller.
4545
- [ ] Make sure both devices (robot and external device) are connected and visible in the same network. Firewall settings may apply. You can do that by connecting your computer to the same network of your EGM solution and pinging the robot and external device. Important note for HoloLens developers: Microsoft disabled pinging on HoloLens, so be aware of this weird decision.
