Robot Industrial Abb 6700 Programming Protocols With PLCs Via PROFINET
The ABB IRB 6700 is a high-performance 6-axis industrial robot designed for heavy-duty applications such as material handling, welding, assembly, and machining. One of its key strengths is its ability to integrate seamlessly with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) via PROFINET, a widely used industrial Ethernet protocol for real-time automation communication.
A. Hardware Requirements
- ABB IRB 6700 Robot Controller – Equipped with PROFINET-capable hardware (e.g., DSQC 688 module or built-in PROFINET interface).
- PLC with PROFINET Support – Siemens S7-1200/1500, Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, or other PROFINET-compatible PLCs.
- Ethernet Cables – Shielded Cat6/Cat7 cables for noise-free communication.
- Network Switch (Optional) – For multi-device PROFINET networks.
B. Software Requirements
- ABB RobotStudio – For configuring and programming the IRB 6700.
- PLC Programming Software – Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, etc.
- GSD (Generic Station Description) Files – Required for PLC-robot integration (provided by ABB).
Why PROFINET?
✅ High-Speed Data Exchange – Enables real-time control between the robot and PLC.
✅ Deterministic Latency – Ensures predictable response times for critical operations.
✅ Scalability – Supports large-scale automation networks with multiple devices.
✅ Industry 4.0 Ready – Facilitates smart factory integration with IoT and AI technologies.

Features
|
This series of robot is suitable for palletizing industry. Max.Range is 3195mm. If your pallet size is 1000mm*1200mm,the robot can cover up to 6 pallets. Just like simulation describes. The other advantage is robot cycle time. Up to stacking 800 bags one hour. So if your application is palletizing. We suggest you select this series robot. |
| Service |
We supply 3d model, foundation and flange dimensions of related robot. Supply training video to fresh customer. The video include of how to mastering,how to connect the cable,how to programming and so on. If you have any problem, call us anytime or sent email to us. |
| Robot Maintains |
The robot we suggest maintains every one year or 10000 hours. the main job is exchange oil, fans,UPS and so on. If the robot working in terrible environment, just like low temperature or wet environment. So such case we suggest half year or 5000 hours to do maintains. |
| Warranty |
1 Year |
