Hi! In the end, I managed to establish communication between KUKA and Omron PLC using the EL6692 Bridge. This time by the correct ESI file which was not provided by Beckhoff but likely developed by Omron.
Hi,
I tried to use your Omron ESI file on the PLC side. But when I check, only inputs that is available from the ESI file.
Could you please help me why is this happen?
Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your response.
I want to ask another question, which ESI file that you were using for robot and PLC side?
Thank you.
I am sorry that I am very new to KUKA Robot and EtherCAT communication.
This system will work properly both for PLC side and robot side right?
I think for KR C5, the primary side bus for bridge will connected to [KEI] Extension Interface (XF8) right?
I make a clearer image for the topology.
I want to make sure again about this, is there any concern about this ethercat topology both from PLC and robot side?
Thank you.
Hi!
Currently I have a project that will be using 3 robots (using KR C5 controller) and 1 PLC (Omron NX1P2).
I plan to use EL6692 as bridge to do a communication between the robots and PLC.
Beside the communication, the PLC will use EtherCAT to control 3 units of servo motor.
Is there any problem if I am using this configuration? I want to make sure that the communication will work without any problem.
You can see the topology here.
Thank you.
Hi!
Currently I want to do a communications between KUKA KRC5 and Omron NX PLC. I will have 3 robots and 1 PLC. To do the communication, I will use EL6992 for each robot. What you already did is really similar with what I want to do.
I have some questions for you:
1. What type of KUKA Controller that you were using? Is it KRC4?
2. What type of Omron PLC that you were using?
3. How many robot that you were using in this system?
4. Until now, is there any communication problem after your system running?
Thank you.
