Hello everyone I am onsite trying to help a customer set-up a Fanuc R30iA controller. They have a CompactLogix PLC (L43) with a CNB (1768-CNB). The Fanuc R30iA only has ControlNet as a communication option.
I understand how to set up the ControlNet network with respect to everything except for this: When adding the remote module in RSL5000, I must use "GENERIC CONTROLNET MODULE" before I can use RSNetworx for Cnet to schedule the network. Does anyone know the input/output/configuration assembly instances that are used for fanuc cnet comm cards?
I really hesitate to call Fanuc because they are usually not very helpful when it comes to used robots... Unless you give them 5k for "licensing fees" then they are VERY willing to help you. This is something the customer does not want to do...
If anyone has the info I need I would be greatly appreciative, I've been scouring the web for a few hours now with no luck (Thanks again Fanuc, for suing everybody with the word "Fanuc" on their site).
The network consists ONLY of the 1768-CNB and the Fanuc robot, nothing else. I have two Y adapters, one on the CNB and one on the Fanuc card, each with a 75 ohm resistor and a ~1m bnc cable running between them.
This is the first time I've used Controlnet with a Fanuc. I've integrated probably 40+ Fanucs, usually with EIP or devnet.
