Implement Phase 3: KRL Coordination
Complete implementation of Python-KRL coordination features for seamless bidirectional communication between RSIPI and KUKA KRL programs. ## IOAPI Enhancements Added high-level I/O control methods for convenient digital I/O manipulation: - **set_output(channel, value, group='Digout')** - Set digital output by channel number - **get_input(channel, group='Digin')** - Read digital input by channel number - **pulse(channel, duration=0.1, group='Digout')** - Generate timed pulse on output Benefits: - Simpler channel-based addressing (channel 1 instead of 'Digout.o1') - Automatic channel name formatting - Built-in pulse generation for pneumatic actuators and signaling - Consistent error handling ## KRLAPI Enhancements Added coordination helper methods for Python-KRL synchronization: - **wait_for_signal(channel, timeout=5.0)** - Block until KRL sets I/O signal - **signal_complete(channel)** - Signal KRL that Python operation is complete - **write_param(slot, value)** - Write to Tech.C variables (Python → KRL) - **read_param(slot)** - Read from Tech.T variables (KRL → Python) Features: - Configurable timeouts with proper error handling - Flexible slot addressing (11, 'C11', 'c11' all work) - Slot validation (enforces 11-199 range) - Comprehensive logging for debugging - Clear docstrings with KRL code examples ## KRL Template Library Created comprehensive KRL templates demonstrating coordination patterns: **templates/krl/basic_handshake.src** - Simple I/O handshaking (KRL signals → Python waits → Python signals back) - Timeout handling and error recovery - Complete Python code examples in comments **templates/krl/parameter_passing.src** - Bidirectional Tech variable communication - KRL writes position to Tech.T, Python reads - Python calculates target, writes to Tech.C, KRL reads - Demonstrates full parameter exchange workflow **templates/krl/state_machine.src** - Multi-state coordination workflow - States: IDLE, CALIBRATING, READY, EXECUTING, COMPLETE, ERROR - Combines I/O signals and Tech variables - Error handling and timeout mechanisms - Demonstrates complex production-ready pattern **templates/krl/README.md** - Comprehensive coordination patterns documentation - Tech variable mapping conventions (C vs T variables) - I/O signal mapping standards - Timing best practices - Troubleshooting guide ## Python Coordination Examples Created production-ready Python examples demonstrating all coordination methods: **examples/coordination/01_basic_handshake.py** - Simple I/O handshake demonstration - Matches basic_handshake.src template - Command-line interface with argparse - Comprehensive logging and error handling **examples/coordination/02_parameter_passing.py** - Parameter exchange workflow - Reads position from KRL (Tech.T) - Calculates target position - Writes target to KRL (Tech.C) - Matches parameter_passing.src template **examples/coordination/03_state_machine.py** - Complex multi-state coordination - State monitoring loop with enum - Calibration routine with offset calculation - Error detection and signaling - Matches state_machine.src template **examples/coordination/README.md** - Complete usage instructions - Configuration requirements - Troubleshooting section - Customization examples - Advanced usage patterns ## Modified Files src/RSIPI/io_api.py: - Added time import - Implemented set_output() method - Implemented get_input() method with navigation of receive_variables - Implemented pulse() method with blocking time.sleep() - Comprehensive docstrings with examples src/RSIPI/krl_api.py: - Added time import - Implemented wait_for_signal() with configurable polling - Implemented signal_complete() method - Implemented write_param() with slot normalization and validation - Implemented read_param() with slot normalization and validation - KRL code examples in all docstrings ## New Directories templates/krl/ - 3 KRL program templates - Comprehensive README with patterns and conventions examples/coordination/ - 3 Python example scripts - Complete usage documentation ## Design Decisions **I/O Channel Numbering**: 1-based to match KUKA conventions **Tech Variable Slots**: Validated 11-199 range (KUKA reserves 1-10) **Blocking Operations**: wait_for_signal() and pulse() block with configurable timeouts **Error Handling**: Proper exceptions with clear messages **Logging**: Debug/Info/Warning levels for all operations **Documentation**: Every method includes KRL code examples ## Phase 3 Status: ✅ COMPLETE All planned features implemented: - ✅ High-level Digital I/O API - ✅ KRL state coordination helpers - ✅ Parameter passing via Tech variables - ✅ KRL code templates - ✅ Python coordination examples - ✅ Comprehensive documentation Next: Phase 4 (Advanced Motion Control) |
