Hi all. I am new to this group looking for help and aim to learn more.
I am currently using kuka robot KR3, with CPU (computer) KRC3 (windows 95) and monitor(HMI/control panel) KRC3. I am using the Siemens PLC s7-1200 that is connected with KUKA with profibus (cm 12435). There is already the communication between the PLC and the Robot. For now I am using PLC to just to give command which mean there is start,stop and emergency button controlled with PLC programmed in TIA portal v13.
The robot is just doing pick and place function for this moment. Now my big desire is to send the at least 6 Axis (real axis when the robort is moving) to the plc. I can see the real axis(A1 to A6) and other axis at real time in the control panel of kuka. But I want those axis to be sent to PLC mab be with some outputs or any way. I already spent alot of time but I am not able to even know the i/o of those axis or position. I can access to pmfbs.ini or iosys.ini but I have no knowledge what to change there?
Can you please give detail information step wise how can I at least send the 6 axis to the PLC? I can log in to expert mode too. Is it easy to send axis to PLC or do i need to write again complex program? Hope to get some help.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely
SUdan
