Fanuc R-30-iA Controller vs Fanuc R-30iB controller

    Good morning!


    We currently have a Motoman robot that we are going to replace with a FANUC. We currently have R30-iB and R-30iB+ controllers in the plant, nothing older. We are in a time crunch due to FY21 coming to an end for us. This robot is a rack mounted robot, and they are not as common to find so we have had a hard time locating one. Our vendor has found one, but it is an R-30iA controller. From what I have read and studied, there are no major differences between the two other than possibly some processing upgrades in the R-30iB.


    Would there be any reason for me to avoid purchasing the R-30iA controller?

    You should find out what Software Version is running on the R-30iA. Some software features that you rely on may not have been available in an older version. For example, mixed logic and background logic.

    Thank you guys. It sounds like functionality wise, there is not much to worry about, but perhaps a few software things I might need to check on. Appreciate the feedback!
