Connect Robotstudio to PLC

[Terzi]

Hi. I was wondering that is it possible to connect PLC to RobotStudio and read real IO signals to the station in RobotStudio? What this kind of setup would require?

Hello,
What is your type of PLC?
If it is a SIEMENS one, you can use RSConnectDIOToSnap7 or RSConnectGIOToSnap7 in Add-ins.

Thank you for your answer. We have been using mainly Beckhoff devices, for example CX51x0 Embedded PC.

Which protocol do you use?

[Terzi]

We have been using mainly profinet. Robot as a device/slave.

So these SmartComponents should works.
