High Speed Position Output

Apr 01, 2024

Applications Engineer - E-Commerce and Logistics, General Industries and Automotive Segment

The video introduces the High-Speed Position Output (HSPO) option for FANUC robot controllers, which allows broadcasting data over a socket messaging connection. HSPO can send TCP Cartesian position, robot joint angles, or up to ten robot variables at a rate of once every two milliseconds. Use cases for HSPO include relating the robot's position to sensor data, monitoring the robot's position for vision processes, and using the robot's current position for motion planning. Configuration steps for HSPO involve loading option R891, setting system variables, configuring the server name and port, setting the rate variable, and configuring the output type, group mask, and endian variables. The video also shows example C++ code for receiving HSPO packets and a live demonstration of configuring HSPO system variables for a CRX robot, setting the HSPO out type for robot joint angles, and receiving HSPO data on a PC while the robot moves.
