RJ3ib Fanuc controller and HMI

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.

I can think of a lot of different ways to create a solution for this but check with the posters at Robot-Forum, I'm sure someone has come up with a good solution without having to buying hardware.
