Hello all,

I am currently trying to program a UDP socket on a IRB120 but somehow it is not possible to create the socket. Furthermore, the controller does not know the commands for UDP communication (SocketReceiveFrom or SocketSendTo). I already programmed a TCP connection and this one is working! but i have problems with the timedelay during receiving so i would like to try it with UDP!

Would be great if somebody would have an idea how to import the procedures for UDP-communication.

Thx in advance!

Hi @matthiasfrontull91, I’m having the same issue. If you’ve solved this already, please share it!

Do you have the option 616-1 PC interface on the robots ?

Hello matthiasfrontull91,  
I am trying to find out from what RobotWare version the UDP protocol support starts (for documentation on our software which uses UDP)  
I know that in version 5.13 UDP support is missing, and in 6.6 one it is definitely present - so it was added somewhere between 5.13 and 6.6.  
What is your RobotWare version?  
(if someone knows when UDP support was aded, the answer is greatly appreciated)  
Thanks!  
Svetlana
