SRCI - Standard Robot Command Interface
SRCI - The new Standard Robot Command Interface industry standard allows you to directly program robots via your PLC - that's right, you don't need to learn each manufacturers proprietary robot interface anymore!
- Standardized cross-manufacturer data interface makes robot implementation easy & interoperable
- Reduction of service &maintenance complexity through one single robot library
- No robot-specific programming knowledge required, by mapping to our proven technology of PROFINET

General information:
The Standard Robot Command Interface allows for efficient robot programming in a PLC engineering environment. Users can write a complete machine program, including robots, and thus integrate the robot program and operation into the machine (PLC). With over 115 robot functions offered by SRCI, the user can call these functions in the PLC while the robot controller reports the required robot state information back to the PLC .
Standard Robot Command Interface - Benefits
- Meet the highly demanded customer requirement for standardization in and simplification of robotics
- Less expenses on support - using the SRCI standard, companies need to provide support for SRCI only instead of multiple proprietary technical applications of Robots.
- Expand your customer group: With SRCI, companys don't need to pay heavily to add robots into their Factory Automation - suddenly, robots can be much cheaper and thus are more likely to be implemented in factories.
- Robot Experts are rare - PLC experts aren't: With SRCI, you can meet reality's circumstances.
- Robot manufacturer specific: Enable PLC experts to program robots via their familiar tool environment, thus opening up robotics to a new target group
- Robot manufacturer specific: One single interpreter software that can be used cross-vendor for different PLCs
- PLC manufacturer specific: Enable robot programming in a standardized fashion in PLC environment for PLC experts
- PLC manufacturer specific: One single library that can be used for different robots of various brands and types
