The bachelor’s thesis addresses the control of a robotic cell using modern industrial communication technologies. The novelty in the robotic cell is the implementation of IO-Link Wireless communication for controlling robotic grippers, which enables greater system flexibility and reduces the need for extensive cabling. The cell includes a measuring machine, two Yaskawa industrial robots, two conveyor belts, and an industrial camera, while the control of the entire system is carried out on a programmable logic controller.
For monitoring, diagnostics, and visualization of the system status, a user interface was developed that enables simple monitoring and management of the system in real time.
The cell was successfully set up and tested in practice, which confirms the reliability of wireless communication and the efficiency of the integrated approach. The thesis offers a comprehensive insight into the design of a control system and contributes to the wider use of IO-Link Wireless technology in an industrial environment.
