By the way. I am currently working with a DX200 controller.

Hello,

I am currently trying to do something similar to this from a PLC. I am sending a byte from the PLC to the robots external input. Not sure which data type to use in the robots program to monitor the full byte in the master job. I understand the logic I can use to call different jobs from the master job, just don't know which data type to select in my program. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Use a master job. You have to declare it
For the IO, pick any group of I/O and send the value from PLC word
The program could be

if gi1 = 1 call prg1
if gi1 = 2 call maintenance

You could write this program many different ways

I'm pretty new to Motoman Robotics. I have experience in programming Fanuc robots, but not nearly as much with Motoman. I am curious on the methods of program select from a PLC using ethernet I/P. I appreciate anyone's further input in advance!

I figured out what was going wrong. Thanks.

Hello,

I am also having trouble using Safety over Ethernet and Standard Ethernet communication with an Allen Bradley compact guardlogix. Does anyone have any knowledge to share over this subject?
