Yes, I went through that thread, it confused me. Also, they have 1 robot and multiple CNC.
I am talking about Multiple robots but one PLC as a scanner. -
There is a couple ways to do it.
1. Make the PLC the master of the robot and the CNCs. All communication goes thru the PLC as a central hub. You would need to buy the Ethernet IP adapter option for the robot.
2. Plc is master of robot and robot is master of CNCs. Buy the Ethernet IP scanner option for the robot. All are on the same network. 1 IP address per device.
Either way should work. I prefer to have the PLC be the master and all other devices be slaves (adapters)
Also, make sure the CNCs are capable of being Ethernet adapters.

Hello HawkME,
According to your point 1, can you confirm if we can connect multiple(if yes how many ?) Robots as adaptor to a single PLC as a scanner ?
Thank you

Hello All,
I just have a simple query. I am new to Fanuc and Ethernet/IP.
Is it possible to connect multiple Fanuc robots on Ethernet/IP network as Adaptors with a PLC as a scanner. Let us assume the PLC is a Q CPU from Mitsubishi.
Thank you in advance. -
I am using a GP12 robot with YRC1000
Let me explain my application:
1. I have created a user frame, (as a master frame) on which my distance sensors are mounted.
Command :
MFRAME UF(1) P00 BF
Point P00 is taught in Base Frame or say Robot frame.
My master Position variable here will be P00 in this case.
I do this as the offsets that I receive from the sensor will not be perfectly aligned to my Robot's Base Frame/ Robot Frame.
2. Then, I create another user-frame on whose reference my job will be taught as a relative job. ( referred as JOB frame hereafter).
Command:
MFRAME UF(2) P01 UUF(1)
Point P01 is taught in User Frame 1
Question:
Now, the sensor being mounted on my Master Frame, they will provide me offsets w.r.t to that Frame, however I need my offsets in my userframe created using P01. How do I convert my Master Frame Offsets to my P01 frame offsets ?
Thank you in advance

Hello BOarder606,
I have a similar application to what you have done.
Let me explain my application:1. I have created a user frame, (as a master frame) on which my distance sensors are mounted. (similar to your scanner to find hole)

Point P00 is taught in Base Frame or say Robot frame.My master Position variable here will be P00 in this case.
I do this as the offsets that I receive from the sensor will not be perfectly aligned to my Robot's Base Frame/ Robot Frame.

Point P01 is taught in User Frame 1

Hello Emre,
Can you please explain in terms of commands as to how you solved your problem.

You'll need too many Position Variables to create a full job for the robot.
Instead you can also use Relative Job feature and convert your Standard (Pulses) welding job to the Relative Job ( X Y Z). -
As per the user manual of UR Polyscope, I learnt that in point data
p[ 0.1, .0.1, 0.1, 0 ,0 ,0 ]
It means the values are : 100 mm, in each direction of X,Y and Z axis respectively.
Is it possible to give micron level point data ?
When I tried to give the values in micron accuracy, the robot failed to respond as expected.
Let me know if I'm not clear enough with my doubt.
Thank you in advacne.

Hello,
I'm a new programmer for UR.
I referred the manuals and there seems to be something different in the procedure being used to change the frame reference of the waypoints being taught.
I want to know whether it is possible in a normal pendant program or do we have to write a seperate script for the same. In either cases I would love a detailed instruction to use a defined feature(plane) while I teach a waypoint w.r.t the FRAME(feature).
I also am interested to dynamically manipulate the feature defining points by sending co-ordinates through modbus TCP/IP and knwo if it is possible.
Please suggest step wise instructions for the help.
Thank you in advacne.
