What robot controller model?
What PLC brand/model?
Do you have any software options on the robot to support any communication protocols? They are not free but maybe you have the option and don't realize it.
There isn't really a free program to do this. It would be possible to develop one if you has the expertise, but I am not aware of any freely available.

The robot is Fanuc LR Mate 200iC with R30iA controller, and the PLC is Siemens Simatic S7-1500.
I've read about socket messaging but I don't understand it honestly. What is the easiest way to set/reset robots I/O from PLC? -
I would just buy the correct software option for the robot to talk to your PLC using your PLC's suporrted communication protocol. I think your PLC supports Profinet, but you should double check.

Yes, the PLC supports profinet, but I can't find any manual which can explain how to set and gain this communication.

Fanuc has the manual.
