PLC and Robot ARM

Jaafar Al-Shammary

Hello everyone,

I am a second-year PhD student focusing on "Advancing Industrial Automation through Industry 5.0" We are mainly working on leveraging AI tools with Industrial Automation.
Since I have no prior experience in Industrial Automation, nor in the AI tools (I have the basic knowledge), I wonder if someone who is an expert or has any experience in Industrial Automation could help me with how the PLC is used with the robot arm in the Industry. We have, in the university lab, a UR10e Robot Arm and a range of Siemens S7-1500 PLCs.

Thanks in advance, and I do appreciate any help whatsoever.

    Hi Jaafar,

    This is Mechatronics – Mechanical / Electrical-Electronic / Programming, and can be looked at as follows:

    Mechanical Engineering

    Must identify the UR10e Robot Arm number Degrees of Freedom (DoF) and decide how many axes you want to programme.

     

    Electrical-Electronic

    The Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 is a modular, high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for mid-to-high-end industrial automation and digital factory applications.

    Before looking to configure a new automation project in TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation) software, you must understand the principles core component architecture of the Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLC in order to inter-relate to the UR10e Robot Arm.

    SIMATIC S7 PLC

    i) HARDWARE

    • Power Supplies
    • Central Processing Units (CPUs) type
    • SIMATIC Memory Card
    • Signal Modules (SM), i.e. Input/Output (I/O) cards
    • Communication modules, i.e. type of network (e.g. Profinet, Profibus, ethernet, etc.)

     

    ii) SOFTWARE

    Siemens SIMATIC S7 dedicated TIA Portal software languages support five of programming languages for SIMATIC controllers:

    • Ladder Logic (LAD)*
    • Function Block Diagram (FBD)
    • Structured Control Language (SCL)*
    • Statement List (STL), or
    • GRAPH

    *LAD and SCL are the primary recommended programming languages.

    • Consider your software programme is compliant with the PLC Programming Languages IEC 61131 standard.

     

    • Cybersecurity

    Consider developing the system architecture inline with the cybersecurity IEC 62443 standards.

    Once the principles above are grasped, it will be interesting to know how to leveraging AI tools in the automation industry.

    Thank you.
