Hello everybody,
I have a Fanuc m710ic robot,equipped with an R30iA controller. I see that there are ports in the robot near J1 and J4 axes - AS1 and AP1. I'm not sure what they are used for. I couldn't get much info from the manual either. So please help me out.

Hi
The AS1 and AP1 are free to use. They are cables that run trough the robot base to J4. You can use them for your digital I/O for example. -
Thanks a lot! How do i send position data to my controller from the PC? I need to store them in a position register.

FANUC offers a PC SDK which allows you write Visual Basic programs to send/receive data to/from a FANUC robot. Alternatively, you can use KAREL to write something custom (i.e. socket messaging or read file uploaded from PC via FTP).
