The FANUC RMI-Connector allows easy integration of FANUC robots into the ctrlX World ecosystem. If the app is installed on a ctrlX CORE device, it can connect to the FANUC Remote Motion Interface of one or more FANUC robots.
The connected robots are automatically integrated into the ctrlX Data Layer. Via the ctrlX Data Layer, the FANUC RMI-Connector enables the control of the robots (execute motion, switch payload, switch DOs, …) and provides current robot data (joint-positions, cartesian pose, …). This allows any other app on your ctrlX CORE to evaluate the dynamically updated robot data and, for example, send motion instructions to robots. The app also includes a webserver that can be used for some basic operations and robot status monitoring.
The FANUC RMI-Connector allows you to control FANUC robots centrally from a ctrlX CORE without having to learn FANUC specific programming languages. Instead, you can use the tools you are familiar with, such as the ctrlX PLC, the ctrlX IDE or even third-party apps, which minimizes the effort required to integrate robots into your production environment.
