Three communication layers, one SDK
The ABB SDK wraps all major ABB communication protocols into a single, consistent API surface - from high-level REST calls to real-time motion guidance.
Robot Web Services (RWS) v1
The original ABB Robot Web Services API provides HTTP-based access to robot controller data, programs, and I/O signals. Control your ABB robot over the network without any dedicated fieldbus hardware.
- Read & write RAPID variables
- Start / stop RAPID programs
- Monitor robot state and alarms
- Access I/O signals
- File system operations
Robot Web Services (RWS) v2
The modern successor to RWS v1. Offers improved consistency, richer endpoints, and better documentation coverage for all controller resources.
- Extended controller resources
- Improved event subscription
- Better error responses
- Compatible with OmniCore controllers
Externally Guided Motion (EGM)
EGM enables low-latency, real-time position guidance of ABB robots from an external device over UDP. Three distinct modes cover streaming, guidance, and path correction use cases.
- Sub-millisecond cycle time
- UDP-based communication
- Sensor / vision integration
- Path correction at runtime
- No RAPID path planning required
Real-time robot guidance in three modes
EGM lets an external device take over or augment robot motion with minimal latency, enabling sensor fusion, vision servoing, and adaptive path correction without modifying RAPID programs.
EGM Position Stream
The current and planned positions of all mechanical units are sent continuously to an external device. Ideal for Laser Welding heads or any robot-mounted equipment that needs live TCP data.
USE CASESEGM Position Guidance
An external device generates position targets in real time; the robot moves to each given position without following a pre-programmed RAPID path. Enables sensor-driven and vision-driven motion.
USE CASESEGM Path Correction
The programmed RAPID path is modified on-the-fly using correction data from an external sensor. The robot follows the corrected path with full ABB path-following performance.
