Hello,
I am new to Fanuc robots. My robot will be talking to the PLC via Profibus, and would like the following to happen:
1. PLC sends a Cycle Start output (over Profibus IO) to the robot, which starts the MAIN program.
2. PLC sends one of three Part Type bits, which allow the MAIN program to CALL the proper part program.
I've been in the Prog Select menu, where it gives me the options of RSR, PNS, STYLE, and OTHER, but I'm not sure which of these I would need to use in the scenario described above. I would like the Cycle Start signal to come over Profibus, as I am unfamiliar with what a UOP signal is (or how to define it over Profibus). If I have to use a UOP for Cycle Start, please let me know how to set it up to be a Profibus signal.
Thank you so much!
