Yaskawa Robot Fieldbus Communication
In industrial automation, usually robots work alongside various equipment, requiring seamless communication and data exchange. Fieldbus technology, known for its simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, is widely adopted to facilitate these connections. Here, JSR Automation introduces the key fieldbus communication types compatible with Yaskawa robots.
What is Fieldbus Communication?
Fieldbus is an industrial data bus that enables digital communication between intelligent instruments, controllers, actuators, and other field devices. It ensures efficient data exchange between on-site control equipment and advanced automation systems, optimizing manufacturing processes.
Commonly Used Fieldbuses for Yaskawa Robots
7 types of common fieldbus used by Yaskawa robots:
- CC-Link
- DeviceNet
- PROFINET
- PROFIBUS
- MECHATROLINK
- EtherNet/IP
- EtherCAT
Key Parameters for Selection
Choosing the right fieldbus depends on several factors:
✔ PLC Compatibility – Ensure the fieldbus matches your PLC brand and existing equipment.
✔ Communication Protocol & Speed – Different fieldbuses offer varying transmission speeds and protocols.
✔ I/O Capacity & Master-Slave Configuration – Assess the number of I/O points required and whether the system operates as a master or slave.
