Universal Robots with Expansion I/O
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- This video demonstrates how to use a Universal Robots UR5 with Wago Expansion I/O via Modbus TCP. This allows the user to add dozens of additional inputs and outputs by connecting a Wago Modbus Coupler over Ethernet. Input and/or Ouput cards can then be added as needed by the user, expanding control capabilities.

*Update: Correction, Wago Ethernet Coupler model number is 750-352, not 750-350 as shown in video
Great video Ryan - well done, UR does a great job of making this process very clean and straight forward.
Excellent video and instructions. Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for this video, this new kind of robot are very interesting for small application where we have to be flexible with the production.And this features of communication.I also try the application simulator on ubuntu, it's very easy to programm it
Great job
Thanks for this tutorial. Very helpful. I'm wondering if you made it with an Ethernet/IP device. I'll realy appreciate if you have an example or any sugestion.
Can this be tested with a regular computer ethernet cable connection to a windows pc with some modbus software on windows to send digital/analog values?
How do you use Modbus I/Os in the virtual simulator URSim?
how much does it cost?
Hello
you can help me
so, we can any IO Link connected to Universal robots?
+Aleksandr Kurulovec most Ethernet remote I/O that support Modbus/TCP can be connected to Universal Robots.
Can you map the I/O module in RSLogix 5000?
I assume that you are talking about having the robot recognize the I/O on an RSLogix PLC? I'm not familiar with Allen Bradley, but I would guess that you could map the I/O on the PLC provided it supports Modbus TCP over Ethernet. You would simply need to know the register addresses for the bits that correspond to the I/O you are interested in, and you would set it up the same as shown in the video.
Is the UR considered a Master and the Wago unit a Slave?
Jesse Elizabeth Stalman - in this case the UR is considered the Client (Master) and the I/O unit is the Server (Client), though the robot can act as either one.
Ok makes sense, I'm new to Modbus so this may seem like a stupid question. If I have 2 UR robots in a cell and I want them to talk to a Rockwell PLC through a Prosoft Comm Card, would I have to have a card for each Robot or could they share a card through a network switch? If they can share a switch can other devices speaking Ethernet/IP be on that same switch?
The two robots will likely be accessing the same data bits from the PLC, so I wouldn't think that you should need two different cards. You will simply give the robot the address of the PLC (or the card possibly) when you go to setup the I/O. Not an expert on Ethernet/IP, but I know it does cause a fair bit of network traffic. I think you should still be OK sharing a network switch though.
