The Service port acts as a DHCP server, and has its own dedicated IP range (192.168.125.*, IIRC). This is not compatible with a 10.anything IP range.

Also, the Service port acts as a DHCP server. If the router is also acting as a DHCP server, they are probably in conflict.

The Service port is intended for direct, local connection, not for connection to larger networks. The internal network for the Service port also supports several devices internal to the IRC5, which is another potential source of conflict. Connecting the Service port to a larger, complex network is, as far as I know, not advised.

Possibly, this might work if you used a dedicated port on the router, and set forwarding rules in the router to segregate IRC5 traffic from any other traffic. But that would take more networking knowledge than I have, as well as depending on the capabilities of the specific router you are using.

My service port is configured statically at 192.168.125.1. Yes, the port has the possibility of DHCP, but we do not use it.

You are right, you can make friends of these networks only by waking up ports and masquerading packets. It was organized but still there are some communication problems. I suspect that there are some ports that are being blocked by the firewall or that I have missed. Although there are not so many of them:

UDP - 5512, 5513, 5514

TCP - 5515, 21

You are trying to establish a connection between RobotStudio and the controller via the WAN port? Am I guessing correct? If so, the problem is exactly what the message is telling you. You have to purchase and install the option 616-1 (PC Interface) in order to use then WAN port for connecting with RobotStudio.

A little wrong, I use an external service port that is connected to the router. If I connect this service connector for direct connection, then everything is fine.

Hello.

I have a problem connecting the robot to the local network.

I have a service connector to which I connect my laptop with the RobotStudio program. The robot has the address 192.168.125.1, the PC - 192.168.125.100. At the same time, everything works, I can switch between points and view information online. When I try to connect the robot to the local network (10.10.0.xxx) through the configured Mikrotik router, I can see it, but I cannot connect, it says that option 616-1 is not installed.

What could be the problem?

The service does not write anything back and does not respond, there will probably be movement only after the contract and payment...

Then my suggestion is to use CIP messages (explicit messaging) to send coordinates directly to the PRs of the robot. EIP manual has all the info you need to implement that.

I solved my problem using PR [i,j] and group registers

Hello.

I know that you can connect your native encoder to the robot, but what about the others, for example E40H10-500-3-T-24? What is needed for this and is it really possible to do this at all?

Thank.

Quote from ps0f0r

encoders have nothing to do with what you want to accomplish. What I am talking about is this:

1.You already have a robot and a PLC connected to each other (or not?). How is this connection implemented ? is it Ethernet IP connection? is it modbus TCP? is it profinet ? is it profibus ?

FANUC robots have a large list of supported industrial communication protocols but -I believe- none of them comes standard. First you decide which PLC brand and model you want to use and then depending the protocol supported by your PLC, you order the additional software and hardware package to your robot.

Sorry, really my post has nothing to do with this. Wrote the wrong topic ...

Quote from ps0f0r

First of all, you have to tell us which protocol you use to communicate with the PLC. If using EIP you can use explicit messaging to send the coordinates directly to the robot's PRs. This is what I am using. GROUP input/output will be very troublesome to setup for coordinates.

I will use EIP. The connection has already been implemented and now it turned out to carry out the plan.

Hi

R[1]=GI[1] The value of your PLC is read by the GI and then you load the GI into a R

PR[1,3]=R[1] The value of your R now is transferred to the value of the Z on the PR.

There are many ways you can introduce that register in the point, Yo can do offset or whatever.

I'm just giving you an idea

thank. a good idea

Hello.

Tell me how to correctly use group inputs to transfer coordinates to a robot?

Thank.

Quote from HawkME

The terms Group entry and exit mean nothing to me.

EthernetIP has terms like class, attribute, instance, service code. Those are documented in Fanucs EthernetIP manual.

You'll have to read the manuals or discuss with the manufacturer.

thanks for the info

Quote from HawkME

You would need to discuss that with the camera manufacturer to see what documentation they have for ethernetIP. I have seen it done both ways with other devices, but I have no experience with this device.

I have information from the manual for the device. Could you tell me how to configure group entry / exit, what are the rules there?

Quote from HawkME

In my experience, if the camera only supports string output you would be better off using a PLC to parse the string before sending it to the robot.

The description for the camera says that communication can be either strings or bytes. That is, the maximum packet length is 450 bytes and all the information is there, you only need to know the offset and length. Is it possible to somehow "filter out" the necessary data knowing the offset and write to the register?

Quote from HawkME

You first need to find that out. Do you have a camera selected?

I haven’t chosen yet but got interested in the camera O2D22X. She can communicate on TCP and Ethernet/ip.

Quote from HawkME

Ethernetip and socket are two separate protocols. You would not use both, just one or the other. Socket requires Karel. Ethernetip does not require karel.

I also know about this feature, therefore I wanted to use what is already available - Ethernetip

IrVision is installed and it works fine. But as I wrote before, I'm interested in transferring coordinates from other cameras or a program on a computer.

Here is another point: I know that the camera transmits data continuously and I know the length of the message. According to the idea, I need to get the same length and read the coordinates depending on their displacement. Then you will need to write them to group outputs and process them in a program, right?

Quote from HawkME

Kowa cameras don't use Ethernetip. They use irvision software and are plug and play with the controller.

I wrote a little wrong. Yes, this camera is not connected to these connectors, but they are turned on by default in my case.

Quote from HawkME

For EthernetIP you just need to purchase the EthernetIP adapter option.

This option is already installed because Kowa camera is connected in EthernetIP. I want to connect another camera, support said that I need to use Ethernet/IP. Let's say I’ll configure it, but how do I transmit the coordinates? I understand that you can’t do without a Karel or socket?

Hello.

I’m just starting to work with the funuk technique.

I am interested in whether I can transfer the coordinates to the robot (write to registers) Ethernet/IP without additional modules, or do I need Karel anyway?

Thank.

Hi,

I am doing a similar work with an R-30iB FANUC robot controller. As a first step, I am trying to connect to the robot but I keep getting the following error:

"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Establish_Connection.vi"

I tried to register .ocx and .dll files manually but that did not help. I was wondering if you ever had this issue, and if yes, how did you fix it?

Many thanks

What port are you using to connect?

How is Ethernet connection setup made?

Is there any continuation of this story?)))
