Fanuc Ethernet/IP configuration over Karel

    Hello all!
    I'm trying to configure an ethernet IP scanner connection using KAREL only.
    I've manage to replicate the adapter settings using SET_VAR, but can't set up the scanner info, such as vendor, product code or Out assembly instance and in assembly instance.
    Does anyone have any clue?

    Sorry,
    I forgot to add some further context.
    I've tried to Set_Var with both EIP_SC[1].$Vendor and $PX_Vendor, but it refuses to assign to them that way.
    I thought they were read only.
    it's the same for the rest of the variables in the EIP SC.

    Can I edit the .va directly?

    Just for a test, I tried using the conventional Karel Set_Var built-in procedure:

    Code
    PROGRAM KCL_TEST
%ENVIRONMENT kclop
VAR
    status:    INTEGER
    vendor_int: INTEGER
BEGIN
    --SET_VAR Direct
    vendor_int = 789
    SET_VAR(1, '*system*', '$EIP_SC[1].$VENDOR', vendor_int, status)
END kcl_test

    I had no issues changing the variables this way either. Could you post your code that is failing?

    Thank you!
    As it turns out, when I was comparing my code with yours, it appears that I dropped a * after *system and never noticed.
