Correct, using Group inputs and outputs is standard. As HawkME suggested, for the communication with the vision system you should contact Liberty Reach.

They can tell you which options are required on the robot side. They normally also provide some interfaces (at least for the most common robot manufacturers) for easy communication and integration of the vision system.

Yes, I just reached out to Liberty Reach and they said that they'll email me a bunch of information on the subject.

The specifics became really complicated really quickly.

Okay, that makes sense now. It seems like the answer I'm getting is that you can pay for the more direct options, but the Group Input is what comes standard with the Robot Controller.

Hey Guys,

I've been searching for an answer to a question for about a week now. I am curious how a third-party vision system sends offsets to a Fanuc robot. I read that a lot of them just send the offsets to a Group Input, but that seems a bit inefficient since from what I can tell you would have to convert the binary data into a real number that can be stored in a register.

Is there another way to write an offset from a vision system directly to a register?

My company is using a VFix System from Liberty Reach to a 30ib Controller.

Thanks Guys!
