Hi,
So I am a student and I am in the process of researching the use of FRI for certain real time applications using a Kuka LBR iiwa. The documentation for FRI is indeed quite extensive and well written but the only place I am confused in are the hardware and software requirements of the Client computer and application.
This is exactly what is given in the manual.
System requirements
Hardware -
KUKA LBR iiwa
KUKA Sunrise Cabinet
FRI client: real-time capable computer with real-time capable operatingsystem
Recommended hardware: KUKA Office Programming System
Software -
KUKA Sunrise.Workbench 1.13
KUKA Sunrise.OS 1.13
So my question is what is a good real time capable computer with a real time operating system?
Kuka has mentioned Kuka office under recommended 'hardware' which has confused me a bit more. I was thinking along the lines of using a Windows PC with a real time client application like TwinCAT from Beckhoff which uses Visual studio as the IDE.
Was just wondering what opinion others have about this? A little more information on the Client side of the interface would be great.
