158 Welding Robots
This “WeldPanel” software tool also receives events from the robot, like status
changes, actual state of the welding power source and related IO signals, etc. The
status of the program running on the robot controller and of the network
connection is constantly monitored, just to avoid damaging materials and persons,
but also to prevent system commands on error situations. Those events are simply
RPC calls made by the robot controller to an RPC server running on the computer
as a system service (see Section 4.5).
