Rockwell Automation 6-Axis Robot Using a Finite State Machine Using Studio 5000

Using a finite state machine to control a six-axis robot for a palletizer example with Studio 5000 & EasyPLC machine simulator.

Rockwell Automation with an RSlinx OPC topic to connect to a machine simulator.

In the video, we show how the system works along with explaining the PLC logic.
