## “Plug Fest” Discussions – 9/11

- Multi-Vendor Demonstration of EtherNet/IP Would Provide Focus For Workshop Activities
- Demonstration Would Require Neutral Host Site
- Workshop Organized Demonstration Must Be Open To Any Workshop Participant
- GM’s Interest Is EtherNet/IP Demonstration Involving Key GM Suppliers
*What Is Workshop Role Of User Companies?*

## “Plug Fest” Discussions – 9/12

- KUKA Demonstration Proposal Offer Excludes Involvement By Other Robot Suppliers
- Functionality to Be Demonstrated Includes:
**Robot EtherNet/IP Real-Time Communication To PLC And Weld Controller**
**Routing Of Explicit Messages To / From Robot DeviceNet Networks Via EtherNet/IP **
- Minimum Demonstration Cell Includes:
**PLC, HMI, PC Workstation, Robot, and Weld Controller**
**PLC DeviceNet Network, Robot End Of Arm DeviceNet Network, and Two DeviceNet Devices**
