Hey Guys,
I want to control my robot controller (YRC1000) in combination with some script. The robot has an job on itself were some movement is pre teach. However due to the constantly changing enviroment around him i want to give the robot one variable position. the position comes from an external device. Trough the manuals and the forum I became clear it can be done by using Ethernet or Ethernet/IP. The robot I want to use has only the Ethernet option. So I searched further to see how it is possible. By reading the manual for ethernet I saw the opportunity to use EHSS (High-Speed-Ethernet-Server). It also describes quite nice how to configure the ethernet option.
So this would solve the problem for the connection. I am going to use Ethernet (High-Speed version). Now my next question would be, how would it be possible to control an robot by an script (prefferd Python languange)? I have read something about MotoCom or MotoPlus but I find it quite difficult to see what is the difference. Also those are for C# or C++. furthermore those are paid products and I want to know if there would be an (free) option to make my robot work by using sending an coordinate to the controller by a script
I hope some of u could help me with those questions? Your feedback would really be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
