Efficient data communication: Asynchronous transmission for XML and binary data
Whether a tool, camera or sensor: Various devices can be connected to your robot via the universal KUKA.Ethernet KRL interface and XML or binary data can be transferred asynchronously via the TCP/IP or UDP protocol. The robot controller can both receive data from an external system and at the same time send data to an external system via Ethernet communication. The robot controller and the external system can thus each be a server or a client. In addition, up to 16 active connections are possible simultaneously, which can be monitored independently.
Through data communication with Ethernet robots, users can work directly in the KRL program with relevant user data in XML format or communicate generically (in ASCII or binary) with other devices. Ethernet communication supports data exchange between the robot controller and external systems during the program run time, thus expanding the application portfolio of your robot.
