OPC UA Protocol Support for Standard Interface Communication

In Communication Component 2.2.2, support for the OPC UA protocol has been added to Standard Interface communication. With the standard interface based on the OPC UA protocol, the Communication Component serves as the OPC UA server, and the robot/PLC serves as the client. The two sides exchange data by reading and writing named nodes.

Newly Added Commands for Standard Interface Communication (TCP/IP)

Added Command 702: used to send the robot flange pose and joint angles back to the vision system drift correction tool interface.

Improvements
