The KUKA.PLC mxAutomation function package from KUKA Roboter GmbH allows you to control the KUKA robot with the basic commands and motion commands in the KR C4 controller using the SIMATIC controller . This application example shows how to control a robot with SIMATIC S7-1516 and gives an overview of the usage of the included function blocks.
Industrial robots are becoming more and more popular. At present, such robots are increasingly used in machines and factories. Its fully standardized mechanical system has been fully developed and highly flexible in motion control, making it an ideal choice for expensive specialized machinery. This allows for mass production without the need for expensive modifications to machines and plants.
However, factory control systems and robot controllers are two distinct systems. The communication between the two controllers can usually only be done at the bit level, and the robot's motion control program is permanently stored in the robot controller, from which the plant control system cannot be called. Therefore, it is difficult for robots to respond flexibly to special plant events. In addition, the factory control system and the programming of the robot are completely different, so the two systems cannot be basically supported by the same person. Therefore, interface and coordination issues are inevitable.
This application example shows how to fully control the KUKA industrial robot with the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller. For this purpose, the KUKA.PLC mxAutomation module library can be used in the TIA Portal, which provides all the necessary function blocks.
The SIMATIC S7-1500 controller and the KUKA industrial robot communicate via a PROFINET connection. The SIMATIC controller and the robot complete all command and status information exchanges via this connection.
Figure 01
The SIMATIC controllers use the KUKA.PLC mxAutomation module library to fully control the KUKA industrial robots. The KUKA industrial robot consists of the KUKA KR C4 robot controller and the robotic mechanical system, the solid robot. The decoder of the KUKA.PLC mxAutomation module library command is installed on the robot controller. The decoder receives commands from the SIMATIC controller and executes them on the robot's mechanical system, including motion conversion.
