uniVAL plc – robot control via function blocks in your PLC

The purpose of uniVAL plc is to drive Stäubli robots with industrial PLCs, connected to the robot controller via a standard fieldbus.

Library of function blocks on the PLC side to perform motion trajectories and other operations (uniVAL plc client*)
A database accessible and modifi able by uniVAL plc client is hosted on the robot (uniVAL plc server)
The database can contain motion trajectories and other data
The communication between uniVAL plc client and uniVAL plc server is performed over the fi eldbus, based on a Stäubli-defi ned standard

Reducing development and training costs
The programming is done within the PLC environment
Reduced commissioning costs
The communication is based on simple, easy to access I / Os
The motion trajectories can be stored on the PLC side
The motion data used by uniVAL plc server can be accessed and modifi ed by uniVAL plc client
Standardization over the entire production line
Compatible with all the CS8 and CS9 generation Stäubli robots, even already installed systems
Open and adaptable system
Development and customization of functions can be done by the end user

uniVAL plc server is installed on the robot (done at the factory if the robot is ordered with the option)
Installation of function blocks library in the PLC environment (uniVAL plc client)
Configuration of the fi eldbus on the PLC side
Motion trajectories teaching
Development of PLC program

The motion teaching interface can be hosted on the PLC side (remote MCP Option)
Stäubli assistance for customization of an existing uniVAL plc client (new function blocks, etc …)
Stäubli assistance for the development of a new uniVAL plc client for any PLC
