Abstract
Remote monitoring and controlling of manufacturing equipment such as robots using Internet has many applications in diverse fields. The need to observe the real-time processes taking place at the remote location is one area that creates bottleneck in using Internet or Ethernet for remote controlling. One of the applications for remote observation is to observe the different types of forces being applied by a robotic gripper at the remote work cell. For this reason, the "sense of touch" feedback is necessary to effectively control the gripping operation. The actuator used for the gripper was permanent magnet DC motor. The input to the motor was voltage and the output was gripping force measured by a force sensor. LabVIEW was used to create VIs (Virtual Instruments) for remote controlling of the gripper. The VIs were constructed using client-server architecture and the communication protocol used was UDP (user datagram protocol) multicast. This allowed effective real-time control of the gripper over an Ethernet network. The server VI was used for data acquisition and client VI was the control application where the user provided the control method, parameters and monitored the gripper input-output signals.
