The guide covers server setup using a C# application and client programming in URScript, ensuring smooth communication. Perfect for integrating external equipment and optimizing robotic performance.

Why and when to use TCP/IP socket communication with Universal Robots

When to Use

Integration with External Systems: When you need to interface the robot with external devices or software systems for tasks such as data collection, remote monitoring, or controlling external machinery.

Custom Applications: For creating custom applications that require real-time data exchange or command execution between the robot and a PC or another server.

Why to Use

Flexibility: TCP/IP socket communication allows for flexible and scalable integration with a wide range of external systems and programming environments.

Real-Time Communication: It enables real-time communication, which is crucial for applications requiring immediate response and feedback.

Robot as a client

In the context of TCP/IP socket communication, the Universal Robot typically acts as a client. It connects to an external server (such as a PC) to send and receive data, executing commands or adjusting operations based on the server's input.
