Robots, Sensors & Shop Floor Devices

Guides for connecting robots, sensors, power meters, and signal towers such as Universal Robots, SICK, ifm, and WERMA devices.

These guides describe how to read data from robots, sensors, power meters, and other shop floor devices and map it into an ISA-95 style MQTT topic hierarchy. The following guides are available:

Guide	Connector	Description
Universal Robots Cobot	Modbus/TCP	Read robot mode, safety status, joint angles, and TCP position from a cobot.
SICK RFID Sensor via SOPAS	SOPAS	Connect a SICK RFID sensor via the SOPAS protocol.
ifm IO-Link Master	HTTP/REST	Read IO-Link sensor data through the ifm IoT Core HTTP interface.
Siemens SENTRON PAC3200 Power Meter	Modbus/TCP	Read voltage, power, and energy measurements from a power meter.
Janitza UMG Power Analyzer	Modbus/TCP	Read power quality and energy measurements from a power analyzer.
WERMA Signal Towers	Werma WIN Ethernet	Read machine states from WERMA signal towers.
