Open Commissioning Assistant Plugin for OfficeLite

Description

Connects to a KUKA.OfficeLite VM using the Y200 interface.

Quick Getting Started

• Download the zip files from the latest release page
• Unpack the OC.OfficeLite zip file and place it in the directory or a subdirectory of the OC.Assistant.exe
• Copy the OC.OfficeLiteServer zip file into the OfficeLite VM, unpack and start the OC.OfficeLiteServer.exe
• Start the Assistant and open or create a project
• Add a new plugin instance using the + button
• Select OfficeLite, configure parameters and press Apply (see also)

Plugin Parameters

• AutoStart: Automatic start and stop with the Assistant
• IpAddress: IP Address of the OfficeLite VM
• Port: The port the OfficeLiteServer is listening on
• InterpolationTime: Axis interpolation step time in milliseconds. The Y200 interface updates the axis values at a specific rate, which may depend on KSS versions or different environment settings. In our test cases, the update rate has been approximately 70ms. This parameter can be used to interpolate for a smooth axis movement in the 3D visualization. To disable interpolation, set the value to 0.

Requirements

To run the plugin, you need a KUKA.OfficeLite VM with a valid license.
The Y200 interface needs to be enabled within your KRC project. See KUKA OfficeLite documentation how to create and start a Robot using OfficeLite .

Note

The plugin has been tested with KUKA.OfficeLite KRC4 and KRC5 Versions KSS 8.5, KSS 8.6 and KSS 8.7
