Robot control system with the igus® Robot Control

The igus® Robot Control is the first choice for flexibly and efficiently solving automation tasks in the lower and medium performance range. Communication between the control system and the software of the same name takes place via Ethernet or WLAN. In addition, the control system offers several interfaces via different communication protocols using integrated functions such as Modbus or the in-house developed CRI interface. The integrated I/O modules and powerful communication interfaces enable the realisation of simple and sophisticated machine concepts. The igus® Robot Control enables simple and intuitive robot control and programming, making it easy to get started with automation. The modular design makes it possible to control different igus® kinematics, for example delta robots, gantry robots or articulated robots.

Vision App

Vision App

Integration of your camera application
The Vision App makes it easy to set up a wide range of end-of-line tasks - regardless of whether you need to grip round, square or rectangular contours.

  • Uncomplicated and cost-effective integration, 5 minutes per component
  • Connection of cost-effective USB cameras from a wide range of manufacturers
  • Graphical configuration directly in the igus® Robot Control software as well as use in in-house factory automation

App Connect

App Connect

Interface for your extensions
The new interface supports you in writing your own solution, e.g. specialised movement algorithms, interfaces to external devices or software. You can write your own solution using Python or C++.

  • The functionality of your robot is extended by additional functions and applications
  • Reduction of additional hardware and systems through direct software integration
  • Use in in-house factory automation

File conversion

iRC converter

File import via drag and drop
The igus® Robot Control Converter enables users to transfer their programmed coordinates from a CSV file and soon also DXF files directly into robot coordinates. This interface is particularly suitable for gluing and dosing applications.

  • No manual programming of the travel for component contours
  • Quick import of CSV and DXF files into a robot programme
  • CSV converter is used in igus in-house production

Sound-controlled

Laptop with speaker icon

New audio output command
The igus Robot Control has an audio output command. The EmbeddedControl can be equipped with a loudspeaker to play sounds and texts.

  • Possibility of human-robot interaction
  • No additional software necessary
  • Continuous further development of new functions

Plug-and-play solution for a quick start
The igus® Robot Control enables simple and intuitive robot control and programming, and therefore an Easy entry into automation. After a short learning phase, your employees can control and programme simple applications. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.

Your benefits:

  • Cost-effective
  • Compact and light
  • No unnecessary components in the system

One robot control system for all kinematics
The igus® Robot Control is available as a top-hat (DIN) rail version (integrated into your control cabinet) or as a control cabinet version (stand-alone solution). All versions can be controlled with our developed igus Robot Control software. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.

  • Teach-in: Manual guidance functions
  • Interfaces Modbus TCP/IP, 7 digital I/Os, Ethernet CRI, ROS, and much more.
  • Communication Ethernet or WLAN
  • Movement sequences circular movement, velocity commands, If-Then-Else, matrix calculation, and much more.
  • Sample programs Over 100 sample programmes for igus® gantry robots, delta robot, articulated arm robots, Scara and many more.

Includes integrated control software
The free of charge and licence-free igus® Robot Control Software is integrated into the control system and therefore utilises a standardised operating concept and consistent communication services for many components of a system. This reduces project planning effort and facilitates commissioning.

  • Test all igus® kinematics in the software in advance
  • With pre-programmed projects for all igus robots, single axes and AGV
  • Intuitive 3D interface with simulation of the robot

Robot programming couldn't be easier.
Our software allows for simple and intuitive robot programming and control, making it easy to get started with automation. Due to the modular design, it is possible to control different robot kinematics, for example, delta robots, linear robots and multi-axis joint robots. With the software, users can simulate the individual movements of the robot on the 3D interface.
