"KUKA.Conveyor" enables the robot to synchronize its program execution (movements, logic and I/O handling) with an externally controlled conveyor. The robot can interact with two conveyors, each of them may have a linear or a circular form. The robot can follow only one conveyor at a time, but it can keep track of both conveyors. The counter is connected to the controller via CAN bus. For referencing and triggering, a synchronization switch, e.g. a light barrier, is necessary.
