mxAutomation

The “KUKA.PLC mxAutomation 3.3” command interface enables KUKA robots to be programmed via PLC function blocks. The included function block library and the small sample project show examples of simple programming, diagnostics and manual processes. The interpreter to be installed on the robot can be ordered from KUKA Roboter under KUKA.PLC mxAutomation 3.3 with the article number 00-397-175. This version 3.3 is suitable for the KUKA System Software V8.6 (KR C4) and V8.7 (KR C5).

Current Version : 3.3.1.0

Description

The library brings nearly all programming commands of the KUKA language into the PLC. Existing option packages, e.g. KUKA.ConveyorTech or KUKA.VectorMove, can be addressed via the FBs of mxAutomation. PLCopen compliant FBs allow easy application.

The download contains four identical projects, each with a different fieldbus connection to the robot. (Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT and UDP)

Requirements

Programming system

CODESYS Development System V3.5.10.0

Target System

CODESYS Control V3.5.10.0

Robots Control type: KR C4 Simulation via “KR C4 OPS“ possible

Additional requirements on the KUKA robot

System software: from KSS 8.5.0 Software option: mxAutomation V3.0.2 Configuration software: from WorkVisual V5.0.0

Licensing

It is not necessary to license the PLC Library

Restrictions

These examples demonstrate just the basic structure of an mxAutomation PLC program. KUKA does assume no liability for using these examples on our real robot.

Necessary accessories

Minimum requirement for the communication interface at your KUKA robot. For PROFInet -> KUKA.ProfiNet 4.1 (additional software) For EtherNet/IP -> KR C4 EtherNet/IP 3.1 (additional software) For EtherCAT -> EtherCAT Bridge FSoE M/M (additional software) For UDP -> noting
