fanuc_ucl 1.0.2

No project description provided

Unofficial Control Library for FANUC Robots

A library implementing a variety of FANUC robot proprietary protocols such as:

• Stream Motion (stmo)
• High Speed Position Output (hspo)
• Remote Motion Interface (rmi)
• SNPX based "HMI" (hmi)

The library is implemented in rust with the ability to be used as a crate in rust or a python module via pyo3. Has been tested with Linux(x86_64 and arm64), Windows(x86_64) and MacOS(arm64) although it likely works on all architectures that windows and macos support.

Installation

Rust

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fanuc_ucl = "1"

or run cargo add fanuc_ucl in your project directory.

Python

The library is available on PyPI as fanuc_ucl, so you can install it using pip:

pip install fanuc_ucl==1

Usage

Python and rust have nearly identical APIs. The Python API is as strongly typed as possible with advanced type hints.

Unit and Format Safe Joint Representations

Every instance of working with direct joint representations requires also specifying the format and template of the joints, ensuring that the user is always aware of the units and the j2/j3 convention being used. Utilities to convert between different formats and templates are also provided as an independent API.

JointFormats:

• FanucDeg: Angles in degrees, with the j3 angle relative to the ground plane
• FanucRad: Angles in radians, with the j3 angle relative to the ground plane
• AbsDeg: Angles in degrees, with the j3 angle relative to the previous joint
• AbsRad: Angles in radians, with the j3 angle relative to the previous joint

JointTemplates can be arbitrarily created but the struct comes with a few pre-defined ones:

• SIX: The common 6 axis joint configuration of most FANUC robots
• SIX_LINEAR_TRACK: A 6 axis robot on a linear track, with the track being the 7th joint
• FOUR: A 4 axis joint configuration, common for FANUC palletizing robots
• FOUR_LINEAR_TRACK: A 4 axis robot on a linear track, with the track being the 5th joint
• FIVE: A 5 axis joint configuration, somewhat common for FANUC palletizing robots
• FIVE_LINEAR_TRACK: A 5 axis robot on a linear track, with the track being the 6th joint

Stream Motion

TODO: The api is "done" and fully functional but I don't want to write examples yet because it is likely to change very soon as I add the "In The Loop" interface and async support.

Roadmap

• Pydocs and Rustdocs for all public APIs
• Switch python terminal logging to pylog instead of tracing
• Implement an "In The Loop" interface for the StreamMotionDriver to make using feedback from sensors easier.
• Implement a unit-safe api for working with Cartesian poses.
• Update docs to show the usage of async rmi/hmi response handles
• Add async to hspo
• Add support for async to python
• Removing all possible panic locations and have graceful error handling for all failure modes.
• Extensive unit testing, I wrote a special network testing library for this I just need to write the actual tests using it
• A C api for the library, to allow usage from other languages like c#. The main issue is the extensive usage of rust style enums and traits in the API, so this will require some careful design to make a clean and safe C api. This is a long term goal and will likely be a separate crate that depends on this one.
