Control solution for articulated arm robots
Delta will be participating in the upcoming Advanced Factories 2024 with a showcase under the theme ‘Connecting Devices, Shaping Solutions.’ The exhibit will include a pick-and-place robot control demonstration, the VTScada energy management solution and the IIoT Solution for Industry 4.0.
Delta will also show its expertise in robot control with a pick-and-place articulated robot demo. The demonstration features the AX-8 as the core motion controller, illustrating how it controls kinematic transformations for articulated robotic arms and manages various production line devices.
“With support for multiple communication protocols and cloud connectivity, this solution emphasises the cost-saving and integration benefits of combining PLC, motion control, robotics and HMI functions into one compact, efficient package.
Further, expanding its presence in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, Delta introduces three significant enhancements to its IIoT solutions. The DOP HMI acts as a gateway to DIACloud, facilitating OT data sharing and remote maintenance without the need for VPN routers. DIAWeb Designer simplifies data visualisation and decision-making with its user-friendly dashboard editor, while AS-FFTP01 Function Card offers cost-effective IIoT access for AS PLC users with support for OPC UA server, MQTT client connectivity, and Node-RED web-based dashboard.
These innovations demonstrate Delta’s commitment to bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) layers, enhancing connectivity and intelligence in industrial environments.
Other products on show include AX-5 PLC-based motion controllers and the VP3000 drive for fan, pump, HVAC, chiller and compressor applications.
