Robot Communication and Integration indicates the establishing of connections between Mech-Mind Vision System and robots, PLCs, or host computers for data transfer and collaboration over specific communication protocols.

This manual describes three modes in which Mech-Mind Vision System can communicate with external devices and how to establish communications in different business scenarios.

Learn Communication Modes

This section describes basic communication information. You can choose an appropriate communication mode based on your communication items and business requirements.

Communication Modes

The vision system supports three communication modes: Master-Control Communication, Standard Interface Communication, and Adapter Communication.

Communication Mode Selection

You can choose an appropriate communication mode based on your communication items and business requirements.

Establish Communications

This section describes how to establish the communication in different communication modes. You can configure communication settings or write programs to establish the communication in the selected communication mode.

Master-Control Communication

The vision system sends commands to a robot, and the robot monitors, receives, and then executes the commands.

Standard Interface Communication

The external device sends Standard Interface commands to the vision system, and the vision system receives and returns the data.

Adapter Communication

The external device sends custom commands to the vision system, and the vision system receives the commands and returns data.
