SIMATIC ROS Connector - ROSie

ROSie is a command-line-based code generation tool designed to facilitate the integration of ROS 2 with SIMATIC Software PLC connections based on shared memory. It operates based on a YAML configuration file to generate the required code.

Runtime Overview

The process to integrate the communication between the systems consist of two steps:

1. Generate SCL Code: Generator creates a SCL source file that needs to be imported into your TIA-Portal project. It contains all program blocks required for the data exchange with ROS 2.
2. Generate ROS 2 package: A fully functional ROS 2 package is generated, which contains the connection to the Software PLC.

Workflow

After the generation process, both programs can be executed on suitable devices.
