<> = Documentation = Stack contains software required to use NetFT input with ROS. NetFT measures ATI Force/Torque sensor (F/T) outputs. It can be accessed through Ethernet or CAN interface. However ROS driver only supports communciation with device using RDT protocol over Ethernet. {{attachment:netft_photo_clean_small.jpg}} = Transport Layers = == Raw Data Transfer (RDT) == The NetFT supports a very simple communication protocol using UDP packets. This protocol is extremely simple to use. == Ethernet/IP == '''Ethernet/IP''' is a protocol used for industrial automation. It built upon TCP/UDP communication. The '''IP''' in '''Ethernet/IP''' stands for '''Industrial Protocol''' not '''Internet Protocol'''. == CAN bus == CAN '''Controller Area Network'''. Is lower speed (max 1Mbit/sec) shared bus. = Report a Bug = <> ##i.e.<> ## AUTOGENERATED DON'T DELETE ## CategoryStack
