As I said, it's almost identical to how you already did it when the robot was acting as a server. There are a few details to change, but the EKI manual details this pretty well. What specifically are you having trouble with?
My trouble is how to send the .XML file to robot via TCP/IP with Python. Because I want to send a variable or integer from server to Robot Controller.
Thankyou
Display MoreI am using python for a lot of things (like IK and FK).
Using Anaconda is a good start because with this you have access to a lot of libraries.
Another good source could be github (checking for tcp/ip or even eki) and set the filter to python
As UI you can use QT which is also part of Anaconda
link to anaconda:
I always use Anaconda to install the library and use QT for design UI.
But Did you know about how to send .XML file from python to robot via socket TCP/IP ?
So, I know that "It communicates with .xml file."
Thankyou.
i don't really use python but there are tons of online resources to help with your task.
here is one:
https://pymotw.com/2/socket/tcp.html
message will need to match the format used by EKI (XML for example)
Yes, In that part about an open server in python via TCP/IP, I'm not stuck.
But now I'm confused about how to send .XML file from python to robot via socket TCP/IP and How I must write (this part is in Config > User > Common > folder EthernetKRL) to make sure the data has been sent from the server to the robot.
Thanks a lot.
Much the same as when you had the robot set up as the server, simply in reverse. The EKI manual covers this in detail -- setting the robot up as a client is probably easier than setting it up as a server.
Python has a lot of libraries for acting as a TCP/IP server, and for parsing XML. There are innumerable examples and discussions on StackOverflow and other web sites.
First of all, thanks for your advice.
In my project, I am set up the robot as a client and in python will set up to a server. But now I'm stuck in a part of how to send .XML file from python to robot via socket TCP/IP and another part about the config file that, How I must write (this part is in Config > User > Common > folder EthernetKRL).
Or I must to create .xml file in part of python then send to config and use .src call it.
If you have a example, let me look. Please 
Thankyou
read the manual...
It tells you how to configure robot and establish connection.
EKI includes sample server so you can test your robot setup.
Once you confirm that this is fine (connecting and data exchange works as expected), you can work on making own server and just point EKI to a different server.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Hi,
I was assigned project about use add-on technology package called EthernetKRL to sent data1 form server (My PC) to Client a Robot Controller (.src file) via XML file and must use Python.
So, In the past, I'm read KUKA.Ethernet KRL 3.0 manual and try to configuration network connection in server program user interface (that simulate to a server) via the KLI of the robot controller. It's work that can send/received and display data.
But now if I want to open server on python and send data1 (XML) via TCP/IP socket, I use a XmlTransmit.src and XmlTransmit.xml as an example to do.
I know the main 3 components are
What do I have to do? Any one can help me pls.
