Fanuc Robot to Fanuc CNC Ethernet/IP

    I'm looking to establish an Ethernet/IP connection from a Fanuc robot R30ia to a Fanuc 31ib series CNC controller I'm able to ping the robot from the cnc and cnc from the robot. The machine already has Fanuc fast Ethernet board installed and configured to be used as the adapter it provides 32 Inputs and 32 Outputs to the robot. The robot has the Adv Ethernet/IP option installed. I'm not sure of the correct information for the scanner setup on the robot side as in,

    Vendor ID: ????

    Device Type: ????

    Product Code: ????

    Input Size: ????

    Output Size: ????

    Assembly instance (Input): ????

    Assembly instance (Output): ????

    Configuration instance: ????

    I've tried different values but the controller gets a PRIO 350 alarm and PRIO 35xx alarms when enabling from FALSE to TRUE.

    There is a photo of the machine side of the adapter.

    Any information on this issue out there would be much appreciated.

    These should be the only ones you really need.

    That screenshot is from the CNC? Those values appear to be hexadecimal, you'll need to change them to decimal to input into the robots.

    If the CNC is configured as an adapter, with 32bits each In/Out, then the robot needs to be set as the Scanner, and the Input and Output Sizes need to be set to either 4 (if it's set for bytes) or 2(if set for Words).

    The Assembly numbers should be in the Fanuc docs for that adapter board. And Fanuc should also provide an EDS file for that board that contains all this information.
