Eric Lattas

Staff Engineer - General Industry & Automotive Segment

Software Product Manager Eric Lattas gives a brief description of each of the FANUC robot software options that can be used for external motion control. Remote Motion Interface, Stream Motion, and the ROS 2 Interface, which communicate with custom PC applications are discussed. Other external motion control options described in this video are Dynamic Path Modification and PLC Motion Interface. For older systems or those requiring a higher degree of customization, KAREL with User Socket Messaging and ASCII Program Loader, are also discussed. Lastly, the motion-related option, High Speed Position Output that provides high fidelity robot telemetry, is covered.
