    request your assistance with an issue we are experiencing with our FANUC robot (R30iB plus controller) and Allen Bradley PLC (L30ERM). We are attempting to establish communication between these devices via Ethernet IP.

    We have successfully set up the network and the robot is pinging with the PLC. However, on the communication page, it does not indicate that it is running. This is our first time attempting Ethernet IP communication with the robot, so we are unsure of the next steps to resolve this issue.

    Here are the steps we have taken so far:

    Enabled UI signals
    Added the PLC in the TCP/IP settings under Host Comm
    Despite these steps, we are still unable to establish a successful connection. Any guidance or information you could provide would be greatly appreciated

    Did you search the forum? There already exist many threads about eternet/ip and plc. Sometimes with Roboguide, but setup procedure is the same.

    Yes, I have done all basic settings , but i don't have that much idea at PLC end may be I'm missing something at PLC end . Robot and PLC are pinging but connection doesn't goes in running state

    Does the robot have the ethernet/IP adapter or scanner option installed?

    If so, have you configured the connection on the robot side, and enabled it? That is under the ethernet/IP area in the IO menu. Rember the robot configured is in words, and the PLC side is in ints (or bytes, I can't remember off the top of my head, whatever it is, the lengths won't match).

    On the PLC side, did you install the correct Fanuc EDS file (this differs based on controller generation, so you have to use the right one), or are you using a genetic ethernet module?

    Under the File menu, you can have the robot write out the comm configuration files.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!

    What is "the communication page"?

    Here are the steps we have taken so far:
    Enabled UI signals
    Added the PLC in the TCP/IP settings under Host Comm
    This has nothing with Ethernet/IP.

    Do you have Ethernet/IP option installed?
    Scanner or adapter?

    Do it well right away. It will become bad by itself.

    Yes, I have taken EDS file from controller , I have configured connection , in host communication setting it ping as with the plc ip address and on IO > Ethernet ip > PLC shows online not running while trying to ping it on that page it shows invalid alarm

    and we get PRIO 230 Ethernet ip adapter error

    and PRIO231 Ethernet ip adapter idle warnings

    Can you post a robot backup, and a PLC file? Or directly message them to me?

    Problem solved - The problem was with the IO assignment we had assigned port 1 to weld equipment but on bord it was connected to port 2 . we assigned plc to port one and connected the ethernet to port 1 it worked
