Verify that it's actually SNPX ethernet and not serial, the NB series catalog doesn't list SNPX Ethernet, only serial. I've run in to this before, a lot of HMI OEM's support SNPX but only as serial.
I attached 3 images from my GE Proficy software. They show the driver in the HMI that has the robot IP address and then the details for the HMI variable that connects to the Fanuc DI[1] and R[1]. Maybe this will help with your setup. The DI and DO should work without additional setup in the robot but the registers need the additional setup below.
You have to change the $SNPX_ASG variable to allow the HMI to see the robot registers. The settings below allow my HMI to see 600 robot registers using REAL numbers. (It takes 2 HMI variables for each robot register, that is why the size is 1200. this is for the GE Quickpanel+ HMI)
$SNPX_ASG[1]
1 $ADDRESS 1
2 $SIZE 1200
3 $VAR_NAME 'R[1]'
4 $MULTIPLY 0.000
you might also want to try ProFace - works like charm with Fanuc robots (+lots of other hardware) and has an embedded PLC

We pretty much always use Proface where I work unless the customer requests otherwise. I don't know a lot about controls, but our controls guys seem to like using the Proface components and like bidzej said it seems like they interface very well with Fanuc robots.
Thanks guys,
I will try Proface instead of Quick Panel+.
Which series of Proface is the most suitable?

+1 for Maple Systems.
It's easier to integrate a maple systems hmi with an Allen Bradley plc than an AB panel view plus.
They have great hardware pricing and free software.
Something cheaper is:

It's working nice with FANUC robots that have SNPX.

Hi,
I have use I and Q but there is other Memory Type like M, G, T, SA, SB, SC, S, R, AI, AQ, W.
andreic I know it's an old post, but I am struggling to comunicate a Weintek MT8070iE with a R- J3iB controller and I am not able do make it work. I have done the SNPX_ASG settings like it saise in the Fanuc manual, if I make ping to the HMI from the teach pendant it is ok but it doesn't communicate. Some addvice?

Have you decent experience with this Maple HMI PN: cMT3072X S/N: 2204105756?
I can't seem to get the string data from the SNPX registers. I'm sure it is because I've not figured out how to properly retrieve this data on the HMI side.
Anyone, Please, Help?

Did you have the Fanuc manual MARUCHMID06121E REV A?
There's a little explanation about it in this manual.
I've never used string in my projects. So I can't help you more than this.
