Robostudio to PLC

  • 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.

  • Thank you for your answer. but my question is, is it possible to do a communication between robostudio and Siemens PLC?

  • 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 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.
