TwinCAT 3 Robotics mxAutomation allows direct communication between the PLC and a KUKA robot control via a common interface. The robot movements can be programmed directly in the PLC, and the actual values of the robot can be synchronized in real time. TwinCAT 3 Robotics mxAutomation combines PLC control and robot on a single platform and enables programming from an existing system without knowledge of a specific robot programming language.
Communication via EtherCAT
Communication takes place via EtherCAT, with the TwinCAT EtherCAT master and the KUKA controller exchanging data via the EL6695-1001 EtherCAT bridge terminal. In doing so, drive commands are transmitted from the controller to the robot and actual values from the robot to the controller. The robot position data are transmitted to the PLC in every cycle. In addition, the PLC programmer has access to the robot position data at all times in real time.
