Just a few years ago, it was still common for robot applications to be based on a connection between an industrial robot (and its robot controller) and an external programmable logic controller (PLC) which were not located together in the industrial plant. This has now changed due to innovative and intelligent further development, especially as more and more robots from quality manufacturers such as KUKA, Fanuc, ABB, Yaskawa and Co. are equipped with efficient PLC software in the controller of the respective robot.
This means that several manufacturers no longer require a central PLC. Especially small and medium-sized companies nowadays can purchase industrial robots that can function perfectly independently of a central PLC.
On the other hand, for more complex production processes that rely on the harmonious interaction of several industrial robots, it is still very useful to invest in a dedicated PLC. Because with professional PLC programming, all machines and robots in a system can be continuously monitored. Another big advantage is the fast processing of any information that can lead to automated adjustments and significant optimizations in the production process.
Intelligent PLC programming in robotics and automation means high reliability of the machines and robots used, high system stability, low susceptibility to errors and a consistently high level of performance and production.
