Design Chevron DownChevron Down

Bring connectivity and intelligence to your robot systems by easily exchanging important data between your robot and Logix controller. Simply select a robot from almost any supplier and connect it via the standard, unmodified Ethernet protocol to enable a smarter system design. With better connected robot systems you can:​

  • Simplify your design architecture by bringing together robot and machine control using a simple, single cable connection.​
  • Enable operators to act faster with complete system control directly from an HMI.​
  • Increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with improved synchronization between robot and surrounding automation devices.​
  • Unleash advanced applications using AI and vision integration.​
