Standard Robot Command Interface to PLCs

PROFINET

Description:

This document describes the specification of all required features required for developing a unified standard robot interface (RI) between robot controller (RC) and a Programable Logic Controller (PLC).

The RI will allow the PLC to send motion and other commands to the RC and check the status  of the robot.

This specification defines the communication mechanism between the RC and PLC and standardizes definitions and robot commands among different manufacturers.

The target of the RI will be the basis to create a mechanism for controlling a robot directly from the PLC without requiring additional programming at the RC side, e.g. using the original robot’s HMI pendant.
