Hello all,
I have question regarding communication between ABB robot and PLC. is it posible, if i do robot programming in Robostudio and then connect to PLC via TCP/IP or OPC UA. so, is Robostudio able to transfer the I/O to PLC?
Thank you.

What make and model is the PLC?
Siemens PLC s7-1500 and virtual robot to pick and place.
Look here:
Thank you for your answer. but my question is, is it possible to do a communication between robostudio and Siemens PLC?
As far as I know it is not possible
Somewhere on the page of apps to which I directed you I think that someone has written an app/interface to do that. I have never used it, and I hope that my memory is correct.
A hardware (for example Siemens ET200 or similar) must be available for the communication between the robot and the PLC. How else are the signals to be transmitted? But this is not available in RobotStudio. Virtual signals cannot be transmitted. But I would be happy to be convinced of the opposite.
This one in particular was potentially an option:
This is possible, but it requires some hacking. I made an rs add-in a few years back where I read/wrote directly to the memory used by PLC-sim.
There is also the possibility to use OPC-UA or SIMIT nativly in rs.
