Hello
I need some help if it's possible regarding the Ethernet/Ip communication between a Fanuc robot and two CNC machines. The robot will load parts in both machines.
I don’t know many thinks about Ethernet/Ip protocol. Do we need to buy an option to have the robot scanner (master) and the machines adapters (slaves)? In the same time the robot must be slave to a PLC.
On a Ethernet/IP network can be only one scanner?
Example:
If the PLC is scanner and the robot is adapter. This network have an IP class 192.168.0.xx. This network is to control the robot by PLC.
And if the robot is scanner and CNC adapters. This network have a different IP class? This network is to control the CNC by robot.
Thank you!
