hello i am not much familiar with RWS but if you can reach and comminicate with robot for expample RAPID files you can see joint acceleration,velocity,torque and current.About temperature i think your robots model must have joint temperature sensors like , PT100 or else depents on your robot model specs

Here is services about RWS ,

Thank you Mertkan for your thoughts! It's true you can get to the RAPID files via RWS and read parameters of a specific line, e.g. MOVEJ jTarget, speed, but this would be a target speed (which might be even not achieved during the movement if the consecutive points lie close too each other) and the question is if there is a way to read the current value of the joint/tcp speed via web services and regardless what is written in RAPID code?

Hello All,

I'm researching the Robot Web Services 2.0 http/https configuration options and based on a great tutorial provided by Daniel Nilsson: https://www.robot-forum.com and I can see (video time: 0m54s) the communication ports for the http and https can be easily set up to a specific values by altering the appweb.conf in the directory associated with the RobotControl (OmniCore controller) version used in RobotStudio.

How these ports can be changed on the real controller? Are the http/https ports configurable anyhow via FlexPendant?

I don't have access to the real controller yet and would like to anticipate some potential issues before getting it.

Many thanks for any clues!

Hello Colleagues,

I'm working on RobotStudio right now but am wondering how the real controller will act in case of requesting Start Spy Logging without stopping it anyhow:

1. is it going to resume after controller restart?

2. is it going to fill up the controller memory at some point?

The link to the RWS request here:

Robot Web Services: Start RAPID Spy Logging

Any remarks on that are very welcome

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to retrieve a program call stack information via robot ABB web services? I'm looking for the similar data I can read from RobotStudio Call Stack tab which is accessible on RAPID main tab. Interestingly, I can easily find such info wen using FANUC web server which gives the exemplary result:

1         RSR1 RUNNING @ 1 in K_INIT2 of K_INIT2

******  History Data  ******
Routine depth: 3  Routine: K_INIT2                             Line:     1       Program: K_INIT2                               Type: TP    
Routine depth: 2  Routine: K_SUB2                              Line:     6       Program: K_SUB2                                Type: TP    
Routine depth: 1  Routine: K_SUB1                              Line:    14       Program: K_SUB1                                Type: TP    
Routine depth: 0  Routine: RSR1                                Line:     3       Program: RSR1                                  Type: TP    

Does anyone have any experience with the above? Thank you.

Hello all,

I'm sticking to the post question and expanding a little - is it possible to get via ABB RWS (web services) current values of the below parameters?

- joint velocity

- joint acceleration

- joint torque

- joint temperature

- joint current

It seems the only available joint current value is joint position.

Many thanks for any hints
