Key take-aways from this course





Course description
For simple applications, the Cobot is able to communicate with peripheral devices such as grippers, sensors or other actors. In this case, communication is based on simple digital signals, while the sensors and actuators are directly connected to the I/O interface in the controller or to the robot's tool flange. For more complex applications, however, it is often necessary for the robot to communicate and exchange data with a PLC, HMI or other peripheral devices. This training is the right one for you, if you want to know how to integrate the robot into a fieldbus communication after completing the CORE TRAINING.
After completing the INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION TRAINING you will be able to use the above mentioned communication possibilities on your UR robot. Due to the high demand in the European area, the module "Profinet" will be given most attention.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Successful completion of the UR Online Academy
- Successful completion of the CORE TRAINING
- Additionally recommended: Successful completion of the ADVANCED TRAINING
- IMPORTANT: Experience in working with Siemens TIA PORTAL
Please bring a laptop to your training course on which you have already installed the following software in advance:
- Laptop with administrator rights

- FTP program (e.g. Filezilla)
- YAT (freeware tool for socket communication)

FAQs
How much earlier should I arrive to the training?
The reception is occupied 15 minutes before the beginning of the training.
How do I get to the training location by public transport and what about parking?
Universal Robots' premises are located near the subway station Aidenbachstraße. From there it is a 10 minutes walk to the entrance of the training center.
Alternatively, you can also use the bus stop Zielstattstraße. From there it is a 5 minutes walk to the entrance of the training center.
For the best route, it is best to use the journey planner of the Deutsche Bahn (DB) or the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (MVV).
If you arrive by car, we would ask you to leave your car at your hotel due to a very limited parking space around the training center. Alternatively, it is also possible to use the Park+Ride parking lot in Aidenbachstraße. Parking here costs € 1.50 per day.
Are there hotel recommendations?
There are several hotels in different price categories near the Universal Robots training center. We recommend the Leonardo Munich South and the NYX Hotel Munich South, which is about 5 minutes walk from our premises.
