Abstract
This research proposed a system combining NI Smart Camera, PLC, and KUKA robot for remote control. It lets students manage operating process of an industrial robot in a laboratory through the Internet at anytime and everywhere. It also provides a new solution to manage production line remotely. This system can help students viewing exact status of the robot everywhere when practicing on the robot without being in the laboratory and waiting for available shifts.
In the system, NI Smart Camera will transfer videos about the operating process of system to a central computer. All output and input signals from I/O devices will be integrated on the PLC for building up a human machine interface (HMI) in the central computer. The students can interact with the HMI on the central computer to control and monitor the system. They can also access the central computer to write program for KUKA robot. All data from NI Smart Camera and HMI will help students review their works.
