Abstract
The development of custom industrial robotic systems is a complex problem that is generally addressed through modular solutions, however, conventional platforms do not provide sufficiently flexible solutions that adapt to industrial environments. This article presents a methodology to implement the motion control of robotic systems using PLCopen Motion Control compliant PLCs, where a high level of modularity is achieved in the software while creating a hardware-agnostic solution. Finally, the control software was implemented in a linear delta robot to prove the advantage of this methodology.
