Steering robot IP 
Adjustment: select a predefined value from the drop down list, or type in a value. 
The default address (195.0.0.100) is listed in the drop-down list but can be changed if 
required by typing the correct address. When the ABD Steering Robot is enabled, the 
output smoothing is automatically enabled too. 
Output smoothing 
Adjustment: click … button to open properties window. 
When the Kalman filter in the RT determines that there is some error to correct, this error 
is applied smoothly rather than as a jump. The output smoothing controls how fast the 
correction is applied to the outputs. This option is particularly useful for autonomous 
vehicles or path-following robots as a rapid change in position can lead to a large change 
in the steering angle. 
Figure 40 shows the Output smoothing window. Click the checkbox to enable output 
smoothing and unlock the properties for editing.

The smoothing of the position, velocity and orientation corrections can be controlled 
independently. Enter the maximum correction that can be applied every second. For 
example, if 0.1 m is entered for the position smoothing then the RT will only correct a 
position error by a maximum rate of 0.1 m/s.
