I have never personally done this but from reading this forum I know there's a lot of people who have. Search for "SNPX" and you'll find a lot of info that should point you in the right direction.
Thank you. will do.

We have robot - Fanuc make RJ3IB controller in our r and d cell.and we would like to have an external HMI connected to it.
Through HMI we want to select programs, display the status of input output and display messages, pass on some values.
Is there a HMI which can do the job ?
i would prefer to have the functionality by using minimum components. Preferably with Just a HMI.
Please suggest.
P.S: Is using a PLC with HMI mandatory for this ? one way that was suggested to me is to use a Fanuc profibus module, compatible PLC and HMI.
I was also told GE Fanuc PLC and HMI, can directly communicate to RJ3iB and there is no need for any addition of a bus module in Fanuc controller.
component is on the robot and Polishing wheel (tool) is mounted on a stand with a motor.
Thank you once again.
Fixture table having pointers can be done.
On the tool side , when you say Rigid pointer on the tool to teach Tool frame ..does it mean the pointer has to be exactly at the center of the tool?
We use two different types of tools . One is drilling tool which is a slender shaft with cutting edge and the other one is a circular wheel approximately 300 mm X 20 mm thick dia where in the circumference is used for polishing.
How do we mount the Pointer ?
Need some advice as to how i can create origin , X and Y points on the fixture table and tool Station, physically.
Thank you very much for the immediate response.
As i understand the sequence would be -
Define Tool center Point
Defining user frame (origin , X and Y axes) on the fixture table and Tool station Initially.
Create the user program within the frame.
When the cell is shifted - Define U-Frame (Origin , X and Y axes ) again on fixture table and tool station.
Then Fine tune the user program.
we are using a fanuc R 2000 I robot.
We have a fixture to hold the component, Robot with a gripper and the Tool station.
Robot with gripper reaches the fixture and picksup the component then reaches the tool station . tool starts rotating and robot presents the component to the tool in a particular orientation and compnent gets drilled (There are multiple holes to be drilled at different angles).
Once we complete the trial at the Lab we are shifting it to a different location. Problem is we have to re teach all the positions when we reinstall the cell at a different lcoation. Is there any way we can minimize the teaching when cell is shifted . ( Was told user frames will be of help . not sure though.. Holes that are to be drilled are in differnt angles on different faces of the component. component shape is a rectangular prism).
Thank you
