Yaskawa MLX300 Overview
Yaskawa MLX300 lets engineers program and run Motoman robots entirely from a Rockwell PLC: the PLC executes the program while the robot controller handles motion and kinematics, so no robot-specific language is needed.
MLX300 unifies robot and machine control in one controller and one programming environment. It supplies Add-On Instructions for setup, jogging, frames, interference zones and motion, plus ready-made HMI screens, and runs up to four robots and positioners per system.
