Fanuc Robot to Omron PLC communication problem

[Bbarnett]

Everything was working correctly until after a power cycle. The Fanuc robot EIP settings are no longer RUNNING, and are only ONLINE. It can't find the scanner IP address (the Omron PLC). Have you ever seen this issue? What are some things to check for to fix it? We tried cycle starting again but nothing happened.

A note in the Fanuc manual:

ONLINE - the connection is enabled but is not active (for example, waiting for a connection).

RUNNING - the connection is enable and active (I/O is being exchanged).

On the Omron PLC, are you getting any transmission lights for the communications? Have you been able to establish communication using the Omron software?

Just wanted to update the solution to this problem. It was a mistake on the PLC. I didn't update the data size after creating additional entries in the data types tab.
