Looking at the egm.proto I can see that measuredForce and testSignals are defined messages, but I can't find any information about them.
What do those signals represent and how can they be set inside RS?

Thank you

  • You can see the measured force signal when you activate Force Control, e.g. using  RAPID instruction FCAct. The controler then sends three measured force values and three measured torque values. I tested that on the real controler. Unfortunately I don't know what enforce the controler to send test signal values.
  • download RobotWare Tools and Utilities from RS website. Use Test Signal Viewer. See pages 110 , 327, 2328 in the FC Application Manual.
