Device overview 

 

The Siemens robot interface electrical box 

“RobIn eBox” is an electrical cabinet 

that provides all main components required for the integration of a PLC and 
industrial robots. 

 

The Siemens RobIn eBox comes pre-tested, and it is ready to be connected to an 
UR Robot via Profinet. 

 

The RobIn eBox comes with an URCap that allows to monitor first set-up of the 
communication with the PLC from the UR teach pendant. It also comes with a TIA 
portal application example project.
