Programming and commissioning an industrial robot system

ENGINEERING · ROBOTS & PLCS

Robot & PLC programming for your production.

We program robots and PLCs for new and existing systems. Motion, machine sequences and operation work together – for shorter waits, clear diagnostics and a defined restart. We also support systems supplied by other integrators.

ROBOTS · PLCS · INTEGRATION

Program robots and machine control together.

From a single machine to a robot cell or linked production system: we develop robot programs and PLC logic for your process. States, permissions and handovers are coordinated across the control systems.

01

ROBOT PROGRAMMING

Motion and process paths

We set up tool and base coordinates, program gripping points and process paths, and adjust motion profiles. Waiting times, unnecessary travel and interaction with grippers and process tools are reviewed in detail.

02

PLC PROGRAMMING

Sequences and machine logic

We program step sequences, operating modes, interlocks and peripheral control. Sensors, actuators and stations use defined states; operation and diagnostics are matched to the actual machine sequence.

03

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Clearly defined handovers

Robots, PLCs and adjacent stations exchange permissions, acknowledgements and result data through defined interfaces. We coordinate product changeovers, fault handling and restart across the control systems involved.

Programming and commissioning a robotic system

PROGRAMMING & COMMISSIONING

From robot paths to PLC sequence control.

We bring motion, control logic and operation together in a coherent machine sequence. We develop programs for new systems and extend or optimise existing functions. Scope, access and technical constraints are agreed before work starts.

01

Robots: tool and base coordinates, gripping points, process paths and motion profiles

02

PLCs: step sequences, operating modes, interlocks, sensor inputs and actuator control

03

Interfaces: robot–PLC handshakes, station handovers, recipes and variant selection

04

Operation and diagnostics: HMI messages, fault handling and defined restart steps

OPERATION & DEVELOPMENT

Programs your team can work with.

Introduce new products, reduce waiting times or locate faults more quickly: we adapt robot and PLC programs to your system. Program structure, operation and documentation are part of the work, so production and maintenance can follow the changes.

01

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Clear states and functions

Readable robot programs and structured PLC functions with consistent names, data and comments make fault finding and later extensions easier.

02

PRODUCT CHANGEOVERS

Extend product variants

Gripping points, process paths, recipes and PLC sequences are coordinated for new parts. We agree any required changes to tools, fixtures or peripherals with you.

03

DIAGNOSTICS & RESTART

Locate faults more quickly

Messages identify the affected area and unmet conditions. Robot position, part status and PLC step are considered together, making the next operator action clear.

04

HANDOVER & SUPPORT

Backed-up program versions

Robot and PLC programs, parameters and agreed HMI versions are backed up and documented. Tests and open points are recorded. We remain available for modifications and fault analysis.

IMPLEMENTATION

Project stages and technical handover.

For SAR Electronic GmbH, we developed software for a complex robotic application and commissioned the system on site at the end customer.

  1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT

    Establish the system and objective

    We review robots, PLCs, operator interfaces, existing programs and connections. Required functions, access and the planned intervention in production are agreed with you.

  2. PROGRAMMING

    Implement motion and sequence logic

    Robot paths and PLC step sequences are coordinated with peripherals, station handovers and operation. Variants, messages and restart are included in the agreed programming scope.

  3. TESTING & OPTIMISATION

    Test sequences and fault scenarios

    We test signals, operating modes, handovers and typical faults under agreed conditions. Motion, waiting times and restart are checked against the real process; results and open points are recorded.

  4. HANDOVER

    Hand over programs and changes

    Backups, parameters, version records and agreed documentation are handed over. We clarify required access and licences, along with the next steps for production and maintenance.

ROBOT & PLC PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS

Clarify programming, cycle time and restart.

Robot programming controls motion and process paths. PLC programming controls machine states, step sequences and peripherals. We provide either service separately or combine them, defining the scope around your system.

  • We develop or modify machine sequence control: step sequences, operating modes, interlocks, sensor inputs and control of actuators and peripherals.
  • The scope can include station interfaces, recipes, HMI operating functions and diagnostic messages. The existing controller, program access and documentation determine what can be implemented.

  • Yes. PLC programming is a standalone service, including single machines and linked stations without robots.
  • We review the existing controller and machine process, then implement the agreed functions. For modernisation projects, we agree any necessary electrical or operator-interface changes with you.

  • We program motion, gripping points and process paths, set up tool and base coordinates, and adjust motion profiles.
  • For new and existing systems, the agreed scope can also include variant selection, fault handling and coordination with the PLC, gripper and process tool.

  • We examine the complete sequence: robot motion, PLC steps, waiting conditions and machine and tool times.
  • Changes are checked on the system for movement clearance, calibration and required process quality. The achievable reduction depends on the actual bottlenecks.

  • We review robot position, part and tool status, and the current PLC step. Permissions, withdrawal paths and messages are coordinated around the machine sequence.
  • Typical fault scenarios are tested on the system and operator steps are documented. Existing safety functions and approval procedures remain binding constraints; program tests do not replace separate safety validation.

  • We check payload, reach, grippers, fixtures and process tools against the new parts.
  • Robot paths, PLC sequences, recipes and variant selection are adapted together. Drawings or sample parts and the target cycle time support the assessment.

  • Yes. We support, program and develop existing systems supplied by other integrators.
  • We review robot and PLC programs, controllers, interfaces and available software access. If documentation is missing, we first establish what needs recording and which functions must be retained or changed.

  • The agreed handover includes backed-up programs and parameters, version records and documentation of changes and tests.
  • Depending on the system, it may also include tool and base data, interface signals, recipes, HMI versions and restart instructions. Open points and required software licences are recorded explicitly.

DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT WITH US

Have your robot or PLC programmed.

Describe your system and the function or change you need. Details of the robot, PLC, operator interface, existing programs and fault messages help us assess the work. We will clarify any missing information with you.
