Configure R-30iB Plus EtherNet/IP™ Scanner to I/O Modules at Cold Start

In this video, learn how to configure the FANUC R-30iB Plus EtherNet/IP™ Scanner to connect with I/O modules using both Non-Zero and Zero Size Configurations. This tutorial is ideal for users working with R-30iB Plus controllers, including the A, B, Mini, Mate Plus, and Compact Plus cabinets.  The Advanced EtherNet/IP™ Scanner Package (R887) bundles powerful features like Enhanced Data Access, web-based pendant access, and OPC UA™ server support. It also includes the EtherNet/IP™ Adapter and Jog in Auto Mode function. A key benefit of this option is the built-in Ethernet ports which simplify the setup process.  Using RSNetWorx™ for EtherNet/IP™, the tutorial demonstrates how to configure the robot controller for three scanner connections, scan the network, and add I/O modules using EDS files. The process includes setting up connection properties, applying configurations, and downloading them to the controller. Live demonstrations feature the TURCK BLCEN and TBEN modules, showing how to configure them with Non-Zero Size Configurations. These modules support multiple connection types and offer built-in web interfaces and Quick Connect options. The CoreTigo TigoMaster module is also highlighted, showcasing its wireless, low-latency communication and zero-size configuration for 8 ports and 32 bytes.  The video also covers best practices such as using Port 2 for optimal performance, planning I/O layouts in advance, and understanding how RPI (Requested Packet Interval) settings are affected by the number of connections. Whether you're setting up a simple or complex EtherNet/IP™ network, this tutorial provides a complete, step-by-step guide to configuring I/O modules at Controlled Start using FANUC tools and Rockwell Automation® software.
