Hardware specifications

1. Computer Specifications for RapidPlan Control

RapidPlan Control, a runtime software tool, streams motions to robot controllers in a robotic cell. Due to the real-time nature of the communication, selecting suitable hardware is crucial for robust and reliable system performance. We advise our customers to use hardware validated by Realtime Robotics.
