Has anybody ever been able to successfully attach an ethernet/ip adapter directly to a fanuc cabinet without using an intermediate PLC. I currently am using a R30ib Mini Plus cabinet with the Ethernet/IP option installed and set up and a Clearlink ethernet/ip module. I have a connection established but I have no idea how to configure the module or the robot to have the I/O be compatible. I called the company that makes the Clearlink and they said people usually use a PLC but I wanted to see if anyone had done it without one. Thanks and let me know if you need any more info.

Yes, I have done this many times. You need to have the Ethernet/IP scanner option and will need to know the input, output, and configuration assembly instances. It is all documented very thoroughly in the Ethernet/IP Setup and Operations manual (MAROU91EN0217E).

Thank you for the advice, I was able to find the assembly instances and get it running
