I have read every post I can find on how to interface an Automation Direct C-More EA9 series HMI to a FANUC robot with no luck. Some say it is possible, while others say it is not.
FANUC robot has the R-553 HMI option installed (which emulates a GE 90/30 PLC). I have verified robot controller option is functional and that the robot registers are mapped correctly. This was done using Kepware on my computer.
The HMI is configured to use the GE 90/30 SRTP Ethernet driver which FANUC states is supported, but I am receiving a PLC-001 PLC Communincation Timout on the HMI.
Any advice on how to get these talking? There have been enough breadcrumbs along the way that I believe they are at least trying to interface, but I'm either missing something or they really are not compatible.
Thanks in advance.
