• KUKA.OPC Server
  The OPC (OLE for Process Control) technology is an open interface standard that enables simple data exchange between the devices in the production area and the PC applications for monitoring and planning.

• KUKA.Encryption Tool
  The KUKA.Encryption Tool enables KRL files to be encrypted and/or signed. This makes it possible to control the extent to which a user is permitted to read, execute or change specified files.

• KUKA.Gripper & SpotTech
  KUKA.Gripper & SpotTech enables the robot system to control and monitor tools and grippers in its work environment (GripperTech). This technology package also provides additional commands for spot welding applications (SpotTech).

• KUKA.UserTech
  KUKA.UserTech allows the user to program robot program sequences and motion tasks quickly and easily. Furthermore, the operator control keys (status keys) on the KCP can be freely defined, enabling functions to be provided for specific applications.

• KUKA.ExpertTech
  KUKA.ExpertTech provides a user interface which can be used to simplify the entry of “Expert commands”. This makes KUKA.ExpertTech a convenient tool for advanced programming.

• KUKA.Remote
  KUKA.Remote is a software package for remote maintenance and remote control of one or more robots. It can be used to monitor and diagnose application and system data, install and distribute software and data, and carry out remote training courses.

• KUKA.CPC
  The technology package KUKA.CPC, with the programs KUKA.CPC Studio and KUKA.CPC Agent, is used to prevent the running of unauthorized software on the robot controller. In this way, the robot controller is protected against viruses, worms and Trojans. In order to be able to run an application, an application certificate created in KUKA.CPC Studio must be present on the robot controller.

• KUKA.HMI
  With its user-friendly editor, the software option KUKA.HMI (Human Machine Interface) enables even users without programming skills to create complete user interfaces with an extremely wide range of animation functions.

• KUKA.SmartGUI
  KUKA.SmartGUI is a graphical user interface which can be flexibly adapted to the customer’s individual application requirements. The focus is on simple operation of a complete robotic system, as well as a customized, application-specific, freely configurable user interface. Explore KUKA.SmartGUI

SOFT PLC

The product family KUKA.PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) comprises software for solving control tasks with an entirely software-based PLC integrated into the robot controller. This enables direct communication between the PLC and the robot, and the robot, cell and line can be accessed and controlled by a single controller. The KUKA Soft PLC offers you a familiar work environment with its Windows user interface. This facilitates operation and reduces the learning curve, thereby cutting configuration costs.
Further advantages of the integrated controller: the procurement of costly external hardware for visualization and PLC is no longer necessary, and the reliability, functionality and performance of the control system increases due to the smaller number of hardware components.

• KUKA.PLC ProConOs
  KUKA.PLC ProConOs is a runtime system for PLC programs created with KUKA.PLC Multiprog. The runtime system is responsible for execution of the control tasks and is equipped with the necessary communication interfaces. The integrated compiler technology results in top performance.

• KUKA.PLC Multiprog
  KUKA.PLC Multiprog offers the user a development environment for creating control programs and configurations with extensive diagnostic and documentation functions. Programming is carried out using defined programming languages: instruction list (IL), ladder diagram (LD), function block diagram (FBD), structured text (ST), and sequential function chart (SFC).

• KUKA.PLC Multiprog MCFB
  The MCFB functionality (Motion Control Function Blocks) enables the control of external robot axes and KMC axes under the control of the Soft PLC. These are defined in a collection or library of PLCopen-compliant function blocks. With this option, KUKA adds real Motion Control functionality to the KRC and KMC controllers, opening up a multitude of new applications.
