Remote motion interface

    Does anybody here have any experience with the remote motion interface option?
    My local Fanuc tech support does not provide much help.

    I have the operator manual for the option and it tells me which packets to send when, but it does not tell me how one configures RMI in the robot? I am testing it with a (homemade) VB.NET program to send the packets to my roboguide simulation. Packets are being sent to port 16001.

    When I try to send the 'connect' packet the controller in roboguide goes into fatal error and needs to reboot.

    Errorcode: System error 640001,c000005 at 55bb3c9f

    Power off controller to reset.

    So I'm guessing the robot needs some configuration to make this possible? Also does the robot need to be in run/ specific program/....

    Anybody with some insight on this vague option?

    Hi, I am facing the same issue, did you figure it out ?

    Hi, yes I managed to get it working.

    If I remember correctly it was due to a syntax error in the string that I sent. Pay attention to the " (Ascii character 34) and the /r/n (which is actually a new line).

    This is the VB code that makes the connection string and this works:

    Code
    sendString = "{" + Chr(34) + "Communication" + Chr(34) + ":" + Chr(34) + "FRC_Connect" + Chr(34) + "}" + Environment.NewLine
    Code
    TcpClient tc = new TcpClient("127.0.0.1", 16001); 

string msg = "{\"Communication\" : \"FRC_Connect\"} \r\n";

    I successfully connected with the help of Aermoe:thumbs_up:


    Return Message

    Code
    {"Communication" : "FRC_Connect", "ErrorID" : 0, "PortNumber" : 16002, "MajorVersion" : 3, "MinorVersion" : 0}

    Hello,
    I am also trying to work with the RMI Option. How did you know the port number you needed to send the packets ?

    Thank you very much for your help

    Hi there

    It's in the manual. The first connection request you have to send to port 16001. This starts the RMI option. Then you have to send another connection request to port 16002 (normally the robot replies the first connection request with the port that should be connected to in the 2nd request). But I think it's always 16002.
