Robot Model: FANUC M10
Control cabinet: R-30iB Mate
I would like to PLC or PC data sent to the robot R register.
What is the solution? (The robot is standard)
How does the PLC transfer data to the FANUC M10 / 12 robot?

The typical method is to setup a group input, and have the robot read that into a register while it is running its program. This only works for integers though.
Other methods include:
- Using explicit messaging if the robot is running Ethernet/IP comms.
- Using the SNPX protocol if the Basic HMI option is installed on the robot (and if your PLC supports that protocol, its rather old).
- Using Karel and user socket messaging.
- Using the PCDK to develop a windows app that can write to registers.

I created the robots always works this way. But never the "nation," my friend said because I don't use the same methods in this method, the robot as the signals are delayed reaches. Instead, I'm using both robot and PLC communication module as a link to the Dec. The robot PLC or HMI I'm Introducing the input signals of this module. These signals in the section for the operation of the robot bglojic conditional "IF" command together with using the "main" software always I keep running. Thus, the PLC or HMI via the incoming register command the robot R's running very quickly.

In addition to what Nation has listed, if you are running GE plcs, there is a Ethernet Global Data option available for Fanuc robots. I've also used DeviceNet, Profibus, and Profinet but the option, and possibly hardware, would have to be installed.

I use FTP + Karel when I have to send some strings. Its really few lines of code and its free.

Karel isn't free anymore on the newer robot controllers. On the R30iB Karel is now a $550 option, and for some reason on the R30iA Karel is a $3300 option.

I think it still somes as standard in Europe...
