Даниил Грабарь 79d88db930 Add documentation for KUKA Sunrise features and programs
- Created a new document for the Station interface, detailing its menu structure, process data, safety functions, frames, and smartPAD function buttons.
- Added a document for RobotPowerControl, explaining its purpose for safely shutting down or restarting the KUKA Sunrise Cabinet controller.
- Introduced ServerFriRos2 documentation, outlining its role in establishing an FRI connection between the KUKA LBR iiwa and a ROS 2 computer.
- Documented the TeachKuka application, which allows manual teaching of the KUKA LBR iiwa, including position capturing and trajectory recording.
- Added an overview of Sunrise Workbench, including installation instructions for Windows and Linux.
- Created a section on installing a Windows compatibility tool (PortProton) on Linux.
- Documented the installation process for SunriseWorkbench on Linux using PortProton.
- Added installation instructions for SunriseWorkbench on Windows.
- Created troubleshooting documentation for configuration errors and SSL errors during installation.
- Implemented a hook to generate the shared PDF only during the default-language build.

FRI protocol

!!! info "Work in progress" A detailed description of the FRI protocol is being prepared.

FRI (Fast Robot Interface) is a UDP protocol for low-level real-time control of a KUKA robot. It runs over Ethernet and provides a deterministic data exchange cycle between an external PC and the KUKA controller.

Main characteristics

  • Transport: UDP (no delivery guarantee, which is important for real-time operation)
  • Cycle period: 5 ms (200 Hz) or 10 ms (100 Hz), configured in cobot-setting.yamlrobot.fri_cycle_ms
  • Control modes: position, torque, and impedance

Network requirements

!!! warning "Important: a 5 ms cycle requires KONI" A 5 ms (200 Hz) cycle requires the KONI port (KUKA Optional Network Interface). The KLI port supports only a 10 ms cycle. Set fri_cycle_ms: 10 when using KLI.

Port Minimum cycle Purpose
KONI 5 ms High-frequency control, recommended for FRI
KLI 10 ms Standard control and programming
