2. Product Overview
The Ethernet Axia Force/Torque (F/T) sensor measures six components of force and torque (F
x
\ F
y
\ F
z
\ T
x
\ T

\ T
z
) and communicates this data to a device (such as a personal computer, robot, or PLC) that is compatible with
an Ethernet communication interface. The ATI Axia-series product line differs from the other (non-Axia) ATI F/T
sensor models. Thus, the Axia sensors have different options and available features. The Axia-series force/torque
sensors are available in several different payload and communication interface versions. This manual covers the
following topics for the Ethernet Axia interface version:
•
Electrical specifications and wire information for cables
•
Initial set-up of a serial console for Ethernet communications
•
Operation (LEDs, filter rates, sampling rates, and Status codes)
•
Compatibility with the ATI Net F/T sensor UDP interface and Java demo application (for more

•
Compatibility with parts of the ATI Net F/T web interface (for more information,

•
ATI Ethernet Axia F/T sensor configuration through software interfaces: console interface through
Telnet, Common Gateway Interface (CGI), TCP interface, UDP (RDT) interface, and XML
•
