KUKA VarProxy driver

This driver allows the communication between Simumatik and a KUKA KRC controller or OfficeLite instance to connect to exchange I/O variables and axis values.

Parameters

Aside from the common parameters described in the communication_driver docs, this driver includes:

  • ip: This parameter is the ip-adress of the KRC Controller. Default = "192.168.138.1"
  • port: This parameter can be used to specify which port to use. Default: 7000

Setup data

{
    "parameters": {
        "ip": "192.168.138.1",
        "port": "7000",
    },
    "variables": {
        "$AXIS_ACT": {
            "datatype": "float",
            "size": 12,
            "operation": "read",
        },
        "inputs": {
            "datatype": "byte",
            "size": 1,
            "operation": "write",
        },
        "outputs": {
            "datatype": "byte",
            "size": 1,
            "operation": "read",
        },
    },
}

Note

The setup_params in the generic PLC components for kuka_varproxy will need the following format:

{"ip": "192.168.138.1", "port": "7000"}
