I have a new LR mate 200iD with all the bells and whistles. Anyone ever gear a AB servo to a Fanuc Robot with any success? My problem here seems to be network latency. Im Moving the Robot at around 2000 mm/s. by the time a position register even gets back to the PLC to make a incremental move of the axis the robot has already moved another few inches.
 
The robot talks over Ethernet I/P to the plc. RPI is set to 2ms. The connection is safety and it is using some sort of CIP so I was hoping to use the time stamping like the CIP motion does over the same network. As for the encoder feed back I am unsure....I do however get x,y,z data from a robot register...it's just to slow to update for motion control.
