Hi all,
I work for an engineering company in Australia and we use Fanuc robots for numerous manufacturing techniques. At the moment we have just been using Balluff DeviceNet blocks if we need to get I/O in or out of the robot.
However, since DeviceNet is based on CAN Bus I had a thought about attaching an ESP32 directly to the DeviceNet interface via a CAN shield. I am still awaiting the CAN shield to arrive (hopefully not far away) but in the mean time I am trying to punch out most of the code based on theory. And then debug heavily after.
I have created an EDS file using EZEDS wizard. All of that is good, now I just have to work out how Fanuc requests the EDS file or the information from the file so that I can transfer it over and successfully connect.
Thanks heaps,
Jack
