Hey guys,
Totally new to the robot world. My company recently purchased 2 LR mate 200id's. I would like to configure them in a master/slave configuration to allow communication between them. I would like to communicate faults and status between them. any documentation or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
If you just want to transmit some simple signals, you can use physical IOs. It is easy for you to configure and implement.
You can look for a maintenance manual for controller where you can find the answer which you want.
Do you have EGD (Ethernet Global Data) ?
If yes, check out this thread:

Basically you will have one consumer and one producer of digital inputs / outputs. You must enter how many bytes will be used for communication.
You must use rack 88 for configuring the I/O's.
Sorry, I don't have this option(R535). I think it's not free.
If you have this option, you can contact your local FANUC for help.
