SRCI (Standard Robot Command Interface)
Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) is an open-standard for the command and data interface between a client Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a server (UR controller). SRCI adds an additional layer to PROFInet that allows the user to program the robot from the PLC. UR SRCI interpreter ensures a frictionless integration with Siemens PLCs, since Siemens is the first PLC Vendor supporting SRCI in the automation market. Broad SRCI version URCap has been released that supports all 29 Profile: Core functions and requires a paid license. For more queries or to get SRCI URCap and associated license, contact UR Sales via the request form.

Minimize reliance on remote teach pendant **
* There will be different levels or classes in the SRCI. First, there will be a defined scope of functions that are necessary for all and for simple functions. For advanced functionality (Extended Profile and optional function) PolyScope might be needed for robot configuration and programming*
** SRCI currently lacks support for safety configuration. To initiate the initial setup of safety features, it may still be necessary to utilize the UR Tech pendant.
