Hello everyone,
I'm been struggling to get this setup with TIA Portal and the robot. Seems like I need a GSD file to get it going? Manual calls out a GSDML-V2.25-Fanuc-J930-20120113.xml. Where can I find this, or has anyone set this up before that I can bounce some questions off of?

Ok good, so do I just treat the interconnect modules as Model A I/O on the robot? One the CNC's do I select the "linking modules"?

Hello,
I have a project where two CNC's will work with one robot over I/O link. I have two connection units and cables to connect the two CNC's to the robot. The manual seems to say that I need PMC on the robot as well. Do I? Or can this be mapped to Digital I/O's?

ok, thanks! Not sure why I never realized that earlier, yes, will make the PLC easier!

Hello, yes I know how to configure them first of all. LOL. I was setting up a robot to connect to a CLX processor over EIP and had a thought. Does anyone map the UOP in 16 bit chunk like so:
UI 1-16, 89, 1, 1 - word 0
UI 17-18, 89, 1, 17 - word 1Then Digital In like
DI 1-16, 89, 1, 33 - word 2
DI 1-17, 89, 1, 49 - word 3If I did that right, it should set the first two words as UI signals in CLX, then the next two words as DI. I have my own UDT's for Fanuc robots that I generally use. Just seems like it would make things line up better in the PLC for addressing. it would break up the UOP bits from the DI bits into separate words if you follow what I'm saying. Anyone do this?

Hello, I have a job that we are going to be replacing the current servo system that positions the head and tail with two Fanuc servos. This is to make operation and programming easier than what is currently setup. I was going to make some position macros to call for the robot to rotate the part. My question is this, since it's currently a master/slave setup and will be controlled through an Rj3iB, is there a way to make both motors move at the same time? So as to not apply torque to the part and twist it out of shape. Calling macros should do this, but what about jogging?

ok, that I can understand! Your original comment just really threw me off!

Motoman DX100, Fanuc R30iA and R30iB controllers. None of those are safety integrated (unfortunately), they have 1734-AENTR modules in the controllers with safety modules on them. These are on the L61S processor. No other non AB nodes other than the robots.
-
I've gotten quite a few nodes on a L61S with no issues, on that network none are safe integrated though, but all comms are on one ENBT. The other one I've worked on was a L72S with 28.10, safety integrated Kinetix drives.
How many nodes were you using when you've seen this? I'm not disagreeing with you, I've seen weird stuff over the years, just everything I've ever seen from AB shows one card.
-
Every manual I've ever seen only shows one Ethernet card talking to everything; safe and regular. Can you post a link to where you found this reference?

Hello everyone,
I will first like to admit that I am new to the world of Kuka.... I have a KRC2 that I need to get setup, it is going to control a Point I/O block for some cell I/O. For testing since I can't get this to work I have just the 1734-ADN and a single 4 bit input module. I have verified the functionality with a ControlLogix DNB and can see the inputs turn on/off (first 4 bits of second word of the DWORD). So I know my "associated network" is configured correctly. On my DNB scanner it is configured with an input size of 3 bytes and an output size of 2 bytes, change of state. Strobed and Polled don't seem to work with it. The first word of each is read only.
So I have tried setting the iosys.ini to:
INW0=6,0,x2
INB2=6,2,x1
OUTW=6,0,x2I get config errors on the robot while trying to run this. If I just leave the first line the network will run and inputs 9-15 are on, when they are off in the ControlLogix PLC. With the read only data I kinda think I should just be able to put in INB2=6,2,x1. I'm using the port on the MFC card also.
Has anyone setup this combination before? Or notice something wrong?
Thank you
