I need to communicate with a Fanuc R-30iB with a Red Lion HMI (CR3000)

    A customer is asking me to be able to send a recipe to their controller. (R-30iB)


    I am using a Red Lion HMI CR3000.


    They are using a bar code scanner. I need to know the communication protocol to use and what register can I write to?


    The customer can write the code in the Robot controller once I send him the data.
    Thank you in advance,
    Eddie

    I found a post where someone is using Red Lion HMI's to communicate with Fanuc Robots. I'm not sure what driver you use in your Red Lion HMI. You can search for SNPX and also $SNPX_ASG in the forum for more information. You can write directly to robot registers once you set up the $SNPX_ASG setting for it. You should also change the $NUM_CIMP parameter in $SNPX_PARAM from 0 to a 1.

    You need the HMI SNPX option on the robot. In Crimson, you would use the GE/TCP/IP Master via SRTP driver. I use this method frequently as a low cost easy method to communicate with the robot. The HMI SNPX option is very low cost.
