Universal Robots announces integration with Siemens PLCs

Universal Robots (UR, Odense, Denmark) has now integrated the Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) into its software.

The SRCI is a new standard for robotics manufacturers that aims to create a single interface between PLCs and robots. The integration of SRCI into UR’s software will ensure integration with Siemens PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), since Siemens is the first—and currently only—PLC vendor supporting SRCI in the automation market.

The SRCI is available for UR’s e-Series family and the UR20 and UR30. It can be installed and activated with PolyScope version 5.15 or higher via add-on URcap software.
