Disable ethernet IP io

MellingTC · April 11, 2013 at 3:54 AM

I have a Fanuc robot that was controlled by an Allen Bradley Compact logic processor through Ethernet IP. We have removed the robot from the cell and would like to reuse it on a machine that does not have Ethernet IP. I can't even get the robot to move in teach mode because it is looking for a hold release from Ethernet IP IO. How do I convert the robot to use hard wired IO again. Or at least bypass the hold signal.

Thanks,

Disable UI under config. Then you should be able to move the robot using the pendant.

Under MENU>System>Config, set Remote/Local setup to Local, and Enable UI signals to FALSE.
Also, you may need to stop the Ethernet/IP connection in I/O>Ethernet/IP, by setting its Enable switch to FALSE.
After such setup the robot will operate as a standalone unit with no host.
In order to use hardwire signals, you need to have some discrete I/Os available in the robot and map UOP I/O to them.

That worked.

Thank You
