Tagged areas include Real-Time, Telemetry, TCP, and Binary Protocol. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Binary state interface on port 30003 emitting robot state at the 125 Hz / 500 Hz controller cycle. Predates RTDE and is still supported for low-latency one-way state streaming; new integrations should prefer RTDE.
