Robotics Applications

Course Description

Explore topics including I/O bus networks (Ethernet I/P) for robotics, vision applications for robotic guidance, advanced programming functions (Collision Guard, Collision Skip, Remote TCP option and others), remote PLC control for robotics and HMI integration into robotic controllers (via PLC). These advanced programming concepts can be applied to Fanuc robots used in the lab, although the processes and techniques may be applied to many different types of six-axis industrial robots. By the end of the course, students should have created a completely integrated robotic vision solution which is driven by the operator through an Allen Bradley PanelView+ HMI and Compact Logix PLC.
