Thanks very much for the question! We have two strategies to connect to Yaskawa robot controllers:
- For DX Series and YRC Series controllers, we leverage the optional Yaskawa OPC DA server and use the Kepware OPC DA Client driver to communicate. We do not have a native or proprietary driver written for these particular robot controller models. OPC DA Client | Kepware | PTC
- If the DX or YRC series controllers are part of a Yaskawa MLX software solution for PLC integration, the PLC should be a Control or CompactLogix series device from Rockwell, in which case we would use our native AB ControlLogix Ethernet driver. Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet | Kepware | PTC
Let us know if you have any other questions - thanks!
