Abstract

At the moment, the common implementation of local area networks allows working in a total communicative environment. Taking advantage of this fact, and the facility to establish communication with a robotized system, one logical step is to join both to get maximum performance. The integration of a robotized system with a local area network is presented. This implementation considers a LAN-robot link to allow: a higher freedom to set the factory layout, in order to improve quality of the working environment, and an enlargement in the access to a robotized system
