Hi Guys,
I am new with ABB robot and i don't know about it but i work with Yaskawa and Mitsubishi, i will send data from camera to robot, how can i do it?
Do i need use special communication protocol or any function in the ABB?

That depends on the communication protocol that the camera can do.

Have you looked into the integrated vision option? You might need the PC interface option if you want to use TCP/IP protocol or you could do socket messaging. If you have to write, develop and debug your own code then it could be very expensive in terms of the time it costs you.
-
"Ethernet" is not a protocol -- it's a cable. Lots of different protocols can transmit across ethernet, including Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, EtherCat, TCP/IP Socket Messaging, UDP, and many more.
-
This requires that you answer two questions:
1. What data protocols does your camera support?
2. What protocols does your robot support? This will depend on what options the robot has installed.
-
If you're unsure about what options the robot has - do a backup and then post the backinfo.txt file found in the BACKINFO folder. The options and software version are listed in this file.
-
Just use socket communication
For Example:
TCP/IP Socket Connection with IRC5 — ABB Robotics User Forums (robotstudio.com)
-
I'm not sure but:
-If you are using Service Port on Main Computer 616-1 PC Interface not required
-If you are using WAN or another LAN Port 616-1 PC interface required
-
I check the communication protocol, the camera must connect to IRC5 and S7-400 Siemens via Profibus.
Please guide for this connection.
Probably not possible. The camera can connect to the IRC5, or to the S7, not to both at once. Most ProfiBus implementations do not support multi-master.
If both the IRC5 and the S7 require data from the camera, probably the simplest approach is to have both the camera and the IRC5 configured as ProfiBus slaves, and the S7 as the ProfiBus master. Then, the S7 will need to be programmed to transfer data between the camera and the robot.
Does the robot have a ProfiBus option installed? Does the S7 have a ProfiBus option installed? Both will be necessary.
-
Of course you have to setup the Profibus, at least the slave address and the i/O signals.
