hi everybody,
I do not have much experience with older robot controllers.
I have used R30ib, and R30ib-haptic type.
We have the opportunity to get our hands on a few R30ia robots and controllers. Im not so enthused about, therefore my question.
Am i in for any gotcha's dealing with ethernet I/P adapter (non-safe) they say is already installed, or using mixed logic (IF,THEN,ELSE,ENDIF) type statements, or DCS that they say is already installed.
Can I use DCS for zoning safe stop areas and non-stop zones? And run these signals to digital I/Os or/and over ethernet?
I believe i can do all of this in the newer controllers, but i am worried not knowing so much about the r30ia.
Thanks in advance.
