Communication with Yaskawa iCube controller

  • HMI Model: cMT2078
  • EasyBuilder Pro Version: 6.10.02

Does anyone have experience with setting up the communications between the cMT2078 and Yaskawa’s new iCube controller (iC9226M-EC)? The iCube controller supports Ethernet/IP, ModbusTCP, and OPC UA. They push using OPC UA, but I don’t see that a connection can be made in EasyBuilder Pro to a OPC UA server.

Thank you.

Hi @patrick ,

Thank you for your question. To better understand your setup, could you clarify whether the PLC is acting as the server or the client?

It is acting as the server.

Hi @patrick ,

Thank you for the additional information!

In that case, you can use the OPC UA Client driver to connect to the controller. The following video provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the setup process:

Thank you, Arden. I will review the video and the server’s documentation to set it up.
