Abstract

The purpose of the thesis is to present a general solution for establishing connection between Siemens industrial controller and Lego Mindstorm models. Siemens industrial controllers allow several types of communication with peripheral devices, among those is also Ethernet communication over TCP/IP protocol, while older generation Lego Mindstorm models have more limited possibilities, because they allow communication only over USB or Bluetooth. In the context of the thesis we developed an communication interface, which allows physical establishment of communication between the Siemens industrial controller and Lego Mindstorms. The basis of the communication interface represents the Arduino microcontroller, where also program code was developed.
