Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm trying to communicate a Fanuc Robot with R30iA controller and V7.7 Firmware with Modbus TCP to a Siemens 1512C (all real hardware, no simulation). With DI/DO I can do it, but with UI/UO signals I can't. Reading the manual seems that Modbus only works with D//DO and GI/GO, but if I map the UOP signals to rack 96 (Modbus) it allows me. Do you know if it is possible? Thanks in advance.

Mapping the UIs and UOs to rack 96, slot 1 should also work.

UI/O, UI/O, and GI/O are all the same as far as configuration. They are simply a point or range of points of IO.

You can also map the UI/UO to Flags and then use background logic to assign DI/DO to the flags. One nice thing is that Flags can be mapped as an input or an output.

Thanks a lot, I didn't connect till now and I haven't seen your answers. I solved it. My problem was that in Modbus TCP configuration I had only 2 input and output words and I wanted to map 16DI/DO plus UI/UO which are 18 and 20... so more that 32. Finally I put 3 words and problem solved.
