Learning goals

• The Yaskawa robot controller can be used as a standalone device, with no relation to any other devices. However, in most cases it will be a part of a bigger system. To integrate a robot into such a system will require some form of communication between the controller and any other elements of the system, including a PLC. This type of communication cannot be achieved without including the internal PLC of the robot controller. In some rare cases the internal PLC is used to set up the robot controller as the master of a network, replacing a conventional PLC. This class focuses on the structure and operation of the internal PLC to adjust it to its application specific needs.
