Description

The Robot is a Xentara element for the Elite CS driver and it is responsible to communicate with the Elite CS Robot series. It allows Xentara to read measurements values from the sensors of the Elite CS Robot in real time using the RTSI protocol. The communication with RTSI protocol is established by using TCP/IP connection. The Robot provides data points containing the reading values from the sensor measurements that can be used for further processing or data storage in a database. For example it can feed the Xentara ONNX engine to apply the measurements in a machine learning models. An other example is to use the measurements for feeding the an Influx DB database using the Xentara Influx DB client and store the measurements in real time.

At least one subscriptions is required in a Robot instance and each subscription may allow more than one variables to subscribe. To enable the reading the of the variables, it must have a subscription attached. All the variables attached on the same subscription, expected to receive updated values from the Elite CS Robot on regular intervals. The time interval defined on each subscription may be different.
