Application of OPC Technology in Communication between RobotStudio and PLC
In view of the problem that ABB machine operator offline programming and debugging software RobotStudio cannot communi-cate directly with PLC,RobotStudio and PLC communication based on OPC technology,that is,OPC client function is added,and the welding gantry position parameters and robot attitude parameters in RobotStudio are transmitted to PLC via Ethernet through the OPCserver software KEPServerEX,and the parametric control of welding gantry is conducted through PLC.After simulation test,the scheme success-fully solved the communication problem between RobotStudio and PLC.
