Good evening everyone. I would like to know if it is possible to integrate the IRB 6400 robot into an ethernet network with the Rockwell 33ER PLC. I noticed that in the RobotStudio application there seems to be no option to do this.

It is not the robot, itself, but the controller which will be put on a network. So it is important for us to know which version of controller and what options are installed. Robotware version will also be of use to get you answers. Finally, which type of network are you wanting to integrate it with?
