The typical way in which these components are connected together, to your robot and computer is depicted below.

../../_images/components-connection-typical.png

The connections to the left of the Pickit processor are required to have a system running autonomously in production:

  • Robot: To communicate with the robot progam logic, such as exchanging object detection resquests and results.

  • Pickit camera: To capture images, as during an object detection request.

The connections to the right of the Pickit processor are optional, and serve the following purposes:

  • External computer: To access the Pickit web interface. There are two main use cases: Pickit configuration during application setup, and interactive monitoring during production.

  • Pickit remote service: Connection to your company network for remote Pickit service over the Internet. During normal operation, it’s not required to have this connection enabled.
