How to interface with the CPR robots

  • Modbus_Server: Using the Modbus TCP interface to communicate with a PLC, e.g. Siemens S7
  • PLC Interface: Using digital Inputs / Outputs the robot can be controlled (enable, start, stop, ..) by a master PLC
  • Communication with Beckhoff TwinCat: The robot control can receive data from the Beckhoff TwinCat PLC
  • CRI Ethernet Interface: Connect via network connection. Find documentation and example code here
  • CAN Protocol: Write your own robot control software that directly sends commands to the CAN bus. Documentation and example code
  • ROS packages: Integrate the robots into your ROS environment. Documentation and packages for hardware communication, teleop and moveIt
  • Camera Interface: Receive coordinates and object information from an object recognition camera.
