Constructing socket message from PLC to UR5e

Technical Questions Robot Communication
1

Hi,

i want to establish a socket communication between a PLC and UR5e, the goal here is to send datas (commands ) from PLC to UR5e, my question here is : what kind of message (Protocol ) expect the Robot, or how should the data from the PLC be built ?
for example in Port 29999 we can send commads like Play, Stop with the Sockettest 3.0, are this commads just ASCII coded , Strings or have another structure ?

Thank you

In case of port 29999 it’s just ascii string with ‘\n’ termination. I recommend you searching for “dashboard server” on forum, and support site.
For other interfaces it’s not as straight forward, so you need to get deeper in documentation.
