Targeted Robot Communication Solutions – Plant-Wide Data Server – Unlimited Robot Controller Memory – etc.
Most of Dynalog’s products require a solid communication line and reliable integration not only with the robot controller, but with other equipment as well, such as with numerous measurement devices, with different PLC’s, and with customers’ data servers. The need to ‘Filter’ robot programs with the DynaCal™ system, to automatically update TCP values with the AutoCal™/AccuBeam™ system, to compensate robot positions on-line with the DynaGuide™ system, etc. has led Dynalog to develop interfaces over the years with virtually every industrial robot controller around the globe.
Similarly, products such as the DynaCal™, the DynaFlex™ and the DynaGuide™ systems have led to the development of different integration protocols with multiple types of sensors, such sensors often being provided with their proprietary measurement software. Since the robot controller, together with one or the other of Dynalog’s products, often acts as the central hub for the robot station, communication with various brands of PLC’s has been developed as well, allowing the production line to react in one way or the other in response to some of the measurement findings coming from the roPOD™ system for example.
In fact, Dynalog’s extensive set of communication tools has been bundled together within a unique software module, referred to as DynaRobotCom™ (DRC), which has then been integrated and is provided as part of many of Dynalog’s standard products, such as the roPOD, the AccuBeam, the DynaFlex and the DynaGuide systems. This modular software approach and the ability to communicate with so many different robot peripherals has established Dynalog products as reliable plant floor tools, part of a complete robotic station along a production line, rather than mere stand-alone ‘islands’.
