Sorry, I think the OP started multiple threads. I'd search for it right now, but the boarding doors are about to close...

Is the new gripper setup as a triple case gripper? This is under gripper setup and also unit load setup to specify the gripper to use. If you haven't updated this the infeed will only ever request as many cases as what the gripper can pick.

I am guessing that it is overheating. Have you looked at the transformer in the back of the controller?

Ground the inputs of the unused channels. They're just picking up noise.

KCL ABORT FORCE can be very useful. 😉

sounds like maybe an A cabinet with a remote disconnect?

Check the back of the door, Fanuc has an option that allows access to the 24E circuit that is mounted on the back of the door with six parallel amphenol receptacles. Most GM robots have this. All you need to do is order the correct connector, which digikey keeps in stock.

I think controller connection side is completely different too.

Is this an A-cabinet or a B-cabinet? (B-Cabinets are the Big ones that sit on the floor and provide the perfect place to work off of)

Please open the cabinet and take a picture of the guts, and more importantly, the back of the door. If it is GM spec'd I think you'll have what you need.

I think you'll be out of luck with the separate power, unless you have some free I/O to control a relay.

Do you have access to the Fanuc's CRC (https://crc.frc.com)?

The Fanuc manuals which are available from that site cover everything you just mentioned.

I wouldn't know without testing, but I am guessing no. When they switched to the R30iB, along with adding the extra jog keys, they also added the "i" key.

And this may be hard to believe, but Fanuc doesn't even charge for it as an option.

Was it running beforehand, what's it's history? The more background information you can provide the better. At this point we're just grasping at straws.

How long have you had it?

How did you aquire it?

Did it work for you in the past or ever?

There's lots of people here willing to help, you just need to share your information.

Fanuc list that part as an R30iB pendant.

I've used it on a R30iB+ v9.3, so I'm pretty sure it's still supported.

I know Fanuc switched from RS-232 to some different form of ethernet protocol. It either happened between RJ3-iB and R30iA, or R30iA and R30iB. I am pretty sure it is the later, which would explain the different pin-out.

I hope you can return the pendant if you cannot use it, they don't come cheap.

I have had multiple issues when installing system software via UD1: especially with the new green and black USB drives. Off the top of my head, I believe that they are Transcend brand.

I always run the apverify batch file, and they will always pass, but they usually will hang during the second phase of the software install at "¥control1.com loading".

I have never tried to do an ethernet install, and I don't think I have ever found any documentation on doing one. I am guessing that it's reserved for Fanuc and maybe the automotive guys.

PCMCIA adapters with Compact Flash cards still work and I prefer to use them for system software installation and auto updates. USB is still hit and miss, MC has always worked for me.

Did you take an image before updating your software? What was the purpose of the update?

Have you compared the profinet setup between a before and after backup?

No problem. By the way the 12-bit card is A03B-0819-C051 , and the 16-bit card is A03B-0819-C063.
