    I'm not familiar with the ethernet IP Fanuc scanner option, I try to read a remote point io 1734-aent, but I wonder what is the assembly instances for input and output and the assembly configuration, it looks like this is the problem for my setup.
    I have a 10 slot chassis with 6 input 1734-ib8 and 3 output 1734-ob8. and a stratix_5700 as a switch.
    I can ping the remote IO from the robot controller (R30iB v8.3). I emailed Fanuc and they told me to look at the EDS file.
    I was able to get the everything I need but for the instances, it's a bit complicated.
    I get the alarm PRIO-358(0x109) in the manual it says invalid connection size alarm.
    I/O Data Type: 8-bit Byte
    Transport Type: Unicast
    connection type: Exclusive-Owner,
    O=>T Format: Run/Idle Header
    T=>O Format: Modeless
    I attached the point io eds file. I opened it just with bloc-notes.
    thank you for help, all my project is on standby.
    :help:

    You'll find there's a 8 byte header on the input image. I suggest getting the 1734 Assembly manual from Rockwell. 1734-UM016B-EN-P The manual will also show the different configs. I'm working on the very same setup using 1734. So far I've been trying to connect via roboguide but with the same results. For now it's on the backburner due to travel but if/when I figure it out I'll definately post the results.

    I hope you will find a solution soon, I read the assembly manual and that's not helping at all.
    I don't have enough knowledge to understand everything they explain.

    If you have access to RS Networx I would give it a try. I have a feeling there will need to be a config string created. To quote the setup manual; "Some EtherNet/IP adapters accept or require a non-zero
    length configuration string. This configuration data can only be configured on the robot using a third party configuration tool such as RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP"

    You will need to add 3 bytes (one for each output card) to your number of input cards so it will be 9 bytes for the input size

    INPUT SIZE: (bytes) 9
    OUTPUT SIZE: (bytes) 3


    EDIT: Correction

    just tried this setup but I still have an ethernet alarm PRIO-358 (0x109) which mean Invalid connection size based on Fanuc ethernet manual description.

    screen shot your settings both adv and regular, screen shot Ethernet IP page.

    Is there anything else connected to the point i/o?


    Thanks

    what do you mean by anything else? I have just the sensors and the valves connected to the in and out and a stratix_5700 that dispatch the ip addresses to all devices, and I have the pc share communication activated.

    I use these units all the time try this setting

    Vendor ID:1
    Device Type:12
    Product Code:108
    INPUT SIZE (bytes):17 base module uses 8 input bytes input cards are 1byte output card use 1byte 8+6+3=17
    OUTPUT SIZE (bytes):3 output card use 1byte 1+1+1=3
    RPI (ms):32
    Assembly Instance (Input):101
    Assembly Instance (Output): 100
    Configuration Instance: 102
    Size: 0

    place the input modules in the rack as 1-6 first the 7-9 the output modules if not then setting below will not work
    If input cards are not first then you must figure out new start pt based on how many output cards are before the input card example would be if 2 output cards came before the first input card the start pt would be 81 for the input card


    Rack:89 For inputs
    Slot:1For inputs
    Start Pt:65 For inputs
    DI RANGE [1-48]

    Rack:89 For outputs
    Slot:1 For outputs
    Start Pt:1 For outputs
    DO RANGE [1-24]

    Also set IO AUTO CONFIG VARIABLE TO FLASE
    AND AUTO UOP CONGFIG TO FALSE

    The Allen Bradley unit 1734 also must be programmed for the proper chassis size it will not automatically set the chassis for you this must be done via ethernet with IE explorer

    ahhh, i was forgetting the OB8 input bytes. :waffen100:
    jrv5207 posted the config to remove the 8 byte header. Unless you want all of that status info, 103 will work the same only minus the 8 bytes on the input assembly. It'll help save some IO.

    Hi,

    Is someone know if we can mix disrect io and analog io in the same ethernet IP scanner.

    the actual setup is

    point io 1734 + 6 (1734-IB8) + 4 (1734-OB8) same as the oroiginal post.

    i want to add a 1734-IE4C

    But from what i read the config assembly instance are different : 123 for analog.

    You can add another connection.

    I am having trouble getting this to work on my robot. I do have the Ethernet Scanner option.

    Attached are screenshots of my config. I have one 1734-AENT and one card a 1734-OB8E. I tried different config sizes not sure what the setup is supposed to be at this point.

    I have tried input size 2 output size 2

    I have tried input size 10 output size 2

    Input size 1 output size 1 and a whole bunch of others. I am looking for some guidance on this issue.
