This ati-ia/yaskawa-ft-ethernet repository contains a Smart Pendant YIP as well as a standalone MotoPlus Application and robot jobs. These software tools are compatible with Ethernet-Axia sensors and "NET F/T" sensors using a Net Box. Not all files are needed for all installations. Read this Wiki for system requirements, install instructions, and other software documentation.

The Yaskawa Smart Pendant provides simplified programming and fast implementation. Its easy-to-understand, tablet-based interface offers a simple learning curve compared to the standard pendant and is ideal for novice robot programmers. Not just for collaborative robots, Smart Pendant is available for use with select Yaskawa Motoman YRC-controlled robots. ATI Industrial Automation has partnered with Yaskawa to provide an easy-to-use Smart Pendant Extension for integrating data from and programming applications with ATI's 6-axis force/torque sensors. Contact your Yaskawa representative to learn more about how the Smart Pendant could work for your application.

MotoPlus SDK is a software development kit from Yaskawa. MotoPlus applications run on the robot controller concurrently with the standard robot software, but cannot be opened or edited on the robot pendant. ATI has developed a free MotoPlus driver which integrates data from ATI's Ethernet-based force/torque sensors with certain Yaskawa controllers. This MotoPlus Application powers the sensor communication in the background of the ATI NETFTS Smart Pendant Extension, but can also be installed as a standalone Application.
