PROCEDURES AND PREPARATION FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF DATA BETWEEN A SUPPLY AUTHORITY AND A SUPPLY AUTHORITY, SUPPLY AUTHORISATION AUTHORITY

摘要

Until now, data between a pick-and-place robot (1) and a feeding unit (3) is transmitted by wire, which leads to a fixed raster for the arrangement of the feeding units (3) on the pick-and place robots (1). According to the invention, the data to be exchanged between pick-and-place robots (1) and the feeding unit (3) is optically transmitted via an optical waveguide (10), whereby the optical transmitters (7, 13) and the optical receivers (8, 14) of the feeding unit (3, 11) can be coupled in any position on the optical waveguide (10). The feeding units (3, 11) can thus be coupled in a raster-free manner to the pick-and-place robots (1).
