How To Connect ROBOGUIDE To S7 1200 PLC KepserverEx

The document provides steps to connect a FANUC ROBOGUIDE robot controller to an Allen-Bradley PLC using Ethernet/IP. The steps include configuring static IP addresses on the robot teach pendant and PLC, enabling Ethernet I/O on the robot, setting up digital and Ethernet/IP I/O modules with a size of 900 points, and adding a generic Ethernet module to the PLC with matching configuration to access the I/O signals.

How to connect ROBOGUIDE to AllenBradley PLC

1. Open CMD in admin


2. Type the following command with the desired static IP adress:

netsh interface ip set address name= “Ethernet” static 192.168.1.196 255.255.255.0

3. In ROBOGUIDE, open the teach pendant and look for this page in the initial setup

4. Set the same IP address as before and the router’s ip address


5. On the Teach, press :
FCTN->8 CYCLE POWER->OPTIONS->CTRL
6. Enable the system variable to use Ethernet i/o’s.
MENU->4 VARIABLES->$EIP_ENBL_IO->1
7. FCTN-> 1 START (COLD)
8. In the teach, go to MENU->5 I/O -> 3 DIGITAL.
9. Open the config and set a range of DO’s in RACK 89, SLOT 1 , START 1. It should appear
as pending. Repeat this step for the DI’s. When done hit FCTN->8 CYCLE POWER->YES.

These are the DI and DO you will have access in the PLC.

10. Go into MENU->5 I/O->3 ETHERNET/IP


11. In the config of the first connection, enter the input size and the output size
We have 900 i/o’s so the size would be : 𝟗𝟎𝟎 ÷ 𝟏𝟔 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔(𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅) = 𝟓𝟕
When the configuration is done, make sure to cycle power and ENABLE the connection.

12. In the PLC program, ADD a new ETHERNET module.

Look for the Generic Ethernet Module


13. In the configuration page, set the input instances to 101 and output to 151. To have the
same size, we can set the comm format to INT and the size to 57. The assembly instance
changes with the connection number, connection 2 in the robot would be instance 102
and 152.

This information can be found somewhere in the fanuc ethernet/ip configuration document.
14. In the controller Tags, we now have access to the data with the name of the module we
created.

Inputs are signals going Out of the ROBOT and IN the PLC. (ROBOT OUT->PLC IN)

Outputs are signals going Out of the PLC and IN the robot. (PLC OUT->ROBOT IN)
