November 11, 2010 - Agile Planet announces RLX software suite for robotic control and motion planning on Programmable Logic and Automation Controllers (PLC/PAC). RLX enables PLCs and PACs to become full featured robot application development, simulation, and control environments for all robot types – no matter the complexity. RLX provides the application development, training, and maintenance tools required to rapidly develop complex robotic applications and then deploy them on widely adopted architectures. The result is a cost efficient, timely, and agile deployment of robots in highly integrated applications. Yaskawa Motoman Robotics and Rockwell Automation have teamed together with Agile Planet to utilize RLX benefits.
Today, the MLX100 robot gateway from Motoman enables full control of multiple 4-axes to 7-axes robot arms on the ControlLogix platform from Rockwell Automation with all application programming and peripheral integration done in RSLogix 5000.
