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.

Extra menu

In addition to the main functional areas under Station, smartHMI provides additional robot control parameters through the smartPAD side panel. These panels open over the current view without navigating to another section.

Manual control method

The Manual method options panel configures manual motion: the active tool, control point (TCP), base coordinate system, and motion frame.

Manual method options

Selecting the tool and TCP

Parameter Description
Tool Active tool attached to the flange. Default: Flange
TCP Tool control point. Default: Flange (Root)

Selecting the base

The base coordinate system relative to which manual motion is performed. Select it from the frames defined in the project, for example P1.

Motion frame

Determines the coordinate system used by the A1A7 axis buttons:

Mode Description
Axes Joint-by-joint control. Each button moves its corresponding axis independently.
World Motion in the universal (world) coordinate system.
Base Motion in the selected base coordinate system.
Tool Motion in the coordinate system of the active tool (TCP).

Control speed

The Speed panel sets the percentage limit for manual motion and program execution speed.

Speed panel

Motion mode

The Motion mode panel controls how the Start button works and how the robot approaches frames.

Motion mode

Application mode

Mode Description
Start — continuous The Start button runs the application continuously (default).
Step execution The Start button executes one program step at a time. Used for debugging.

Approaching a frame

Type Description
PTP approach Motion along the shortest path in joint space (Point-to-Point).
LIN approach Straight-line TCP motion in Cartesian space (Linear).

The Open frame view button opens the Frames section.

Clock

Clicking the clock icon displays the controller's current system time and date.

Clock

!!! note System time is synchronized with the KUKA Sunrise Cabinet controller clock. Change it in the controller operating system settings.

User group

The Log on dialog changes the active user group and the corresponding HMI access level.

User group

The access level determines which operations are available, including editing frames, managing Safety settings, and changing the project configuration.

Changing the language

The Language selection dialog changes the smartHMI interface language.

Changing the language

The change takes effect immediately without restarting the system. The current interface locale appears in the lower-left corner of smartHMI, for example ru-RU.
