So you explained how the START row works when sending I/O to a PLC but how does it work when sending I/O to a device such as a remote I/O? Let's say that DO(100) has a START value of 10, what raw value does it send to the device? Thank you for the video! Very helpful
If you have not done so already, can you please make a video about how to wire up a PLC (siemens and/or AB) to the inputs and outputs of the robot? Even more advanced, can you please do one showing how to wire up a fanuc robot to a Haas CNC machine. In my fanuc cabinet I have a card that looks like a bunch of inputs and outputs. I really want my students to be able to use the fanuc to communicate to the Haas, etc. Thank you for all you have done here, you are awesome!! BTY, I am not done watching this video.

Thank you Paul ! Is is a dedicated card to communicate with FANUC ? You can reach out directly to my email to get more information: info@f-robotics.com
Thanks for the clear explanations. But I don't understand, at 27:10, why the signal turn OFF at the end of Program (I expect that signal remain in ON status at the end of Program)
Thanks for video. I have a question about the Rack and Slot. Can I have two ranges on the same rack and slot. For instance, DO 1-512 Rack 89 Slot 1 start 1 for the first one and DO 532-600 Rack 89 Slot 1 Start 532 ?
You cannot force UI :-) Like I've said those are robot internal signals. The only way is to send the signal. Just FYI don't use UI signals as regular I/O's, unless it's for testing. Connect Macro to Digital/Robot I/O.
Respected Sir, Your Videos Are Very Useful.... Please Make Video On Kuka Robot With External 7Axis Motor For Spot Weld Purpose.... It's Very Helpful....🙏 Thanks...Good Day🙏
That depends on how you will define your mapping, but assuming that all PLC communication will be assigned to this SLOT and RACK if you put 200 as your start, this means when you turn on the FIRST output from that assignment that PLC will see it as 200.
Good catch ! You are right it will be DI, not DO :-) It also depends how you look at it, from the robot perspective it's DO, but from PLC will see his DI turn on
Hi Still another question... On my Robot I have Slot 101 and 102 for Profinet; but I still have Slot 48. The Slot 48, What is used for? Thanks a lot ...
Hello, I think you are asking about a RACK not SLOT :-) 48 - address mapped I/O for LR Mate Peripheral connectors 101 - Dual Channel Profinet I/O Controller V9 102 - Dual Channel Profinet I/O Device V9
@@FutureRoboticsChannel yes of course, rack not slot. Sorry I was at home, I didn't have the robot and I was wrong. Rack 48 what is it for?

Hello! This video it's so helpful, I have a question, how can I map a SOP signal to a digital output signal, I want to sent to the plc that the robot is running a program and the signal cycle star can work or do you know another way to do this? I'll be thankful for your answer, greetings.
If you are asking about Operator Panel Keys (SOP) you can use Interconnect to map SI do DO, if you want to map SO to DO, the easiest thing would be to make a background logic and just make a DO[x]=SO[x]. Now I don't know how is your robot set up (remote or local start), if you are using remote start (eg. PLC) to start robot program, you might use UOP signals and map them into DI/DO
@@FutureRoboticsChannel The set up of the robot is on local, I only want to see on the plc that a program is running I will do that on bg logic, that's right? Thanks a lot
@@marcosmata5172 Correct However you can always map UOP to DO, this way you can deliver a bit more information to PLC Simply go to UOP and in config use same mapping like in DO this way you will “copy” UOP to DO Eg. UOP Rack 101 Slot 1 Start 1 DO Rack 101 Slot 1 Start 1 This way first of 15 DO will be the same as fist 15 of UOP (I think it’s 15, I would need to double check)
@@FutureRoboticsChannel i got it, think this way is more easy, I only have to map to a word of PLC and that's it (I have connected the robot and the PLC on Ethernet/ip I think the rack is 89) I really appreciate your answers and your content it's amazing thanks a lot Sr, Greetings from Mexico!
In Roboguide, I'm not able to have the UO[1] cmd_enable ON, what can I do? I need the UO[1] to simulate the program using the PLC program as I connected the Roboguide with PLCSIm Advanced. Is there a way to check what I need to have this signal to ON? Thanks a lot
@@FutureRoboticsChannel I've done it. But cmd enable UO[1] is an output from RoboGuide that I receive in the plc, and I cen read it in the plc sim as True or False, if I force it. So the connection is ok, as I read also the other UOP signals, the problem is that I don't have the UO[1] ad 1, I can force it, but it goes back to 0. In Roboguide I don't know the conditions that keep UO[1] to 1. Thanks
@@alsly9066 Also UO signal are made (switched) by robot, if you want to have CMD enable some specific conditions needs to be met (eg. robot in auto, no fault, no active program etc.) You need to take a look at the manual to see all conditions :-)
Thanks a lot for these amazing video. One question regarding the slot. I am not clear. Is it a physical slot of the remote plc or local fanuc slot. If I assign slot as 3 means, the card is in slot 3 of fanuc or plc
RACK is a physical card connection between robot and card, so many I/O's can be assigned to one RACK. Same with SLOT, slot can accept many I/O's. Think of is as of a box with many open connections, so like in old controllers you've had a card that you were connecting wires to, so all of those wires will be connected to eg. RACK89 Slot 1, so DO or DI (1-8) will be connected just to RACK89. That's how the old-school I/O looks like: www.galco.com/buy/Fanuc/A03B-0819-C104?source=googleshopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsqmEBhDiARIsANV8H3bkn-eeyI1-hdOPOBG9Gk_8mcD-wzZF3rmxXPxaN-2NrFAW3fcNKdMaAgFUEALw_wcB
Hello Sir, Do you know if there is a signal to indicate if the robot mechanic is moving or not ? Ex: Waiting instruction, waiting for a DI Great content !
There is option for both, variable that says if robot TCP is moving as well as signal that will turn on when robot is waiting for (WAIT) command , which one you are interested in ?
Thank you Sir. I want to learn about spot welding it’s quite difficult to get any knowledge about servo guns. It would be nice if you can share something about it...
@@bagnoum747 Well that variable will overwrite a configuration that you will make. I did not play with it, since I'm always making configurations from 0 myself. My personal opinion would be to set it to FALSE, since it can bring confusion to next person that will work on the robot and will try to make changes on it, because he will keep loosing I/O configuration every time he/someone will cycle power the robot. If you want to see how the robot will assign the I/O by himself (set variable to TRUE) and than use it you can go for it. Just set variable to TRUE, cold start the robot, check the configuration, save it and set variable to FALSE.
I'm explaining how to do it in 26:00, here: ruclips.net/video/g_zJ_W2ANsY/видео.html. If you are asking if it's better to turn in on during robot movement or when robot is stopped that depends on what are you using this I/O for.
Oh I understand, The "ON" that you see here: DO[33:ON:cmnt] Is the current value of the DO, so when the state of the DO will change to OFF you will see OFF there. The value that the PLC will see (you will send to PLC) is after the "=" So DO[33:ON:cmt]=ON - you will set DO[33] to ON, the code will look like this: DO[33]=ON and DO[33:ON:cmnt]=OFF - you will set DO[33] to OFF, the code will look like this: DO[33]=OFF

Cell Interface is just additional function (I think it's available only for SpotTool) that allows you to use build in FANUC functions to connect specific actions to a DO, so instead of writing some background logic (eg to check if robot is at full speed) you can use Cell Interface.
