This video demonstrates how Digital Outputs (DO) and Digital Inputs (DI) are exchanged between a FANUC Robot and Rockwell Automation ControlLogix PLC.
These DI/DO signals can be used to start a cycle or indicate the end of a process on the robot.
This video was created using FANUC RoboGuide simulation software and an RA ControlLogix L73 processor. Communication was configured via Ethernet IP on a 1756-EN2T ethernet card.
DI/DO signal were simulated on a FactoryTalk View ME interface (HMI). This is an educational video intended for Madison College students in an Automation, Robotics, Manufacturing or Maintenance program.
Other videos will follow that will demonstrate the specific E-IP configuration for both Robot and PLC, as well as the device and RoboGuide specific configuration.
