name: ABB Robot Web Services (RWS)
description: Robot Web Services is the canonical REST/HTTP(S) API exposed by ABB OmniCore (RobotWare 7)
  and IRC5 controllers. It provides programmatic access to RAPID program data and execution, IO signals,
  motion system, file service, e-log, configuration (CFG), controller (clock, restart, identification),
  user authorization, and subscriptions over WebSockets. RWS uses digest authentication and supports both
  XML (default) and JSON (HAL) representations via the `json=1` query parameter. Endpoints include /rw/rapid,
  /rw/iosystem, /rw/motionsystem, /rw/system, /rw/panel, /rw/elog, /rw/cfg, /fileservice, /subscription,
  /users, and /ctrl.
