Term Description
Data stream Continuous sequences of data records of which the
end cannot be foreseen in advance. The individual
data records may be of any fixed type. The amount of
data records per unit of time (data rate) may vary. Only
sequential access to the data is possible.
EKI EthernetKRL interface
EOS End of stream (end string)

Ethernet Ethernet is a data network technology for local area
networks (LANs). It allows data to be exchanged
between the connected devices in the form of data
frames.
FIFO Methods used to process a data memory
 First In First Out
: the elements saved first are tak-
en first from the memory.
 Last In First Out
: the elements saved last are taken
first from the memory.
LIFO
KLI KUKA Line Interface
Line bus for the integration of the system in the cus-
tomer network
KR C KUKA Robot Controller
KR C is the KUKA robot controller
KRL KUKA Robot Language
KRL is the KUKA robot programming language.
smartHMI Smart human-machine interface
KUKA smartHMI is the user interface of the KUKA sys-
tem software.
Socket Software interface that links IP addresses to port num-
bers.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol
Protocol of the data exchange between devices of a
network. TCP constitutes a virtual channel between
two sockets in a network connection. Data can be
transmitted on this channel in both directions.
UDP/IP User Datagram Protocol
Connectionless protocol of the data exchange between
the devices of a network
IP Internet Protocol
The Internet protocol is used to define subnetworks by
means of physical MAC addresses.
