Hello Everyone
I am currently working in a Project where the existing EKI-Interface between KUKA and machine PLC should be converted and extended to OPC UA.
I have gone through the standards and requirements from VDMA OPC UA Robotics, however, would like to get in touch with someone who implemented OPC UA communication in their project.
I am currently in a crossroad where OPC UA defines certain possibilities (Read/Write Functions, files, variables, system relevant variables etc) whereas not everything is possible with KUKA.
It would be really helpful if we can share the best practices used in Industry to establish an Interface between KUKA (or other robots) with Machine system and external servers through OPC UA.
Current Hardwares:
KUKA KRC5
Beckhoff PLCs / Siemens PLCs
Customer Warehouse Management Tool.
Thanks in Advance.
