RobotStudio communication with real PLC

ko414du4 · March 2019

Hello,

Has anyone done any communication between a RobotStudio Virtual controller to a real external PLC? Is this actually possible? Thanks for any comments or help.

Hello,

This depends on which PLC you have to communicate with.

If you use ProfiNet, you can use these addons:

or

You can find them in Add-ins tab on RobotApps.

But use upper links to download them.

I have used the sdk to communicate via an OPC client connection to KepServer which then can communicate with a variety of PLCs

@Simon_Crosby : Could you share your code?

I plan to use OPC to change mine.

If you accept I can add your name on it.

@DenisFR are these addons still available? Which names they have?

I would like to realize a communication between the virtual controller of RobotStudio and a real B+R PLC via Profinet.
