Hi everybody,
I need your opinion.
I am a student and it is time to do my Master Thesis. My target is to learn PLC programming and the Kuka Language.
I asked for doing the Master Thesis on KUKA robot and the only available topic is `Build a Robot (KUKA) - Conveyor System with a PLC Controller and Devicenet`.
My problem is the Devicenet (the robot has only devicenet interface). Many people told me that it is very old and not useful anymore.
Also I am in Europe and they told me that here Profibus is more in use.
On the other hand, the person who offers me this topic told me that the network is not that important and that I don't have to worry about this since my target is PLC and Kuka (and networking is something that you can learn and change anytime).
Is he right? I don't want to learn something which is useless for finding a lob.
I would like to know as many opinions as possible.
Thank you in advance.
