Hi,
I want to transfer coordinates from external-PC to KUKA controller. I'm aware that KUKA-XML-Ethernet can be used transfer the coordinates. However, its too costly for us and I want to know if there is some other way to achieve the same.
Basically we are implementing a Vision-Based inspection solution and the sequence of steps we plan to follow are
1) Read coordinates using a camera.
2) Convert them into world coordinates.
3) Write these coordinates to the .dat file.
4) Run the program using the updated coordinates.
I observed that the robot program doesn't read the new coordinates. We were asked to restart the Submit-interpreter for the robot to read the new co-ordinates. And this worked. But I want to know if this can be done without restarting the submit interpreter?
What are the possible ways to solve the above problem?
I'm absolutely a newbie to KUKA robot(first day with the robot) and to the world of robotics. So please excuse me if i'm being naive.
