For this purpose, we have developed a framework that automatically generates all code for the PLC and ROS 2. Limitations regarding usable data types are discussed, and we demonstrate the functionality by interconnecting a robot and a PLC.enCodesService robotsOperating systemsIndustrial controlProgrammable logic devicesEcosystemsIEC StandardsStandardsManufacturing automationPLCROS 2code generationIEC 61499Integrating PLCs and Robots into the ROS 2 Ecosystemconference paper
