KUKA Interface X12 with 16 I/O connection with PLC Siemens I/O

    • New

    Good evening, I'm programming a Kuka Robot of 2003 with KRC2 and I need to connect it, through KUKA Interface X12 with 16 I/O card, to digital I/O of a Siemens 1200. From KUKA Interface X12 manual, I understand that each Output group has is own GND and Power supply and each Input has its 0 Potential.

    How is the best way to make this connection? With other devices that needs reference and power supply in the system I'm using the same 0V and 24V of PLC, may I use the same for those Robot's I/O?

    Thank you for suggestions
