About
About Siemens AG
Siemens connects robot workcells to the wider machine-control environment through common programming and simulation tools. Its SIMATIC Robot Library provides a command interface from a PLC to supported robot controllers, with a robot-side interpreter handling the corresponding instructions. This lets machine builders coordinate robot actions with surrounding equipment within their plant-control logic.
For virtual commissioning, Process Simulate models the behaviour of robots and machines while control software exchanges signals with a simulated plant. Engineers can test sequences, interactions and timing before commissioning the physical cell. These tools sit alongside Siemens drives, controllers, industrial software and lifecycle services, linking individual robot operations to production systems across the factory.
