Integrations

Connect your Captic system to your PLC, robot or software.

There are two ways to integrate a Captic system:

• Integration Flow connects the system to your line: robots, PLCs, sensors and other systems. You build the integration in your browser at http://[serial-number].local:1880 by wiring nodes together; no application code is needed.

• REST lets your own software call the vision system directly over the Product API.

What the Integration Flow connects to

What you connect to	Options
The vision system	Run pipelines, save images and react to runs with the vision nodes. See Integration Flow.
Robots	Direct support for Doosan, Fanuc and Neura; Yaskawa coming soon; all other brands through a PLC or OPC UA, with their own coordinate convention
PLCs	Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff and Mitsubishi
Protocols	OPC UA, Modbus, TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT and WebSocket
Sensors and signals	Read digital inputs and set digital outputs on the device. See Digital I/O.

Robotic products such as the Bag Depalletizer can connect to a robot directly or through a PLC. Inspection products such as Seam Inspection send their results to a PLC.
