How to Remote Start a Robot using the OTHER Method (Part 1)

In the first part of this series, Katie Austin from FANUC America explains one way of remotely running an R-30iB Plus robot as instructed by a remote controlling entity (like a PLC). Remote operation is quite common in industry and understanding how to connect control of your robot to a PLC or HMI can make the robot more accessible to your operators.

The process covered in this video will utilize the User Operator Panel Inputs and Outputs (UOP I/O) to tell the robot to run a primary MAIN program using the OTHER production Startup Method. Steps in this

What you will need:

• Some familiarity with teach pendant programming, including conditional and unconditional branching instructions. 

What we will go over:

• What makes the OTHER Production Startup type unique
• How to configure the OTHER Production Startup type Details
• The role of each of the UOP I/O signals required for remote mode operation.

The video concludes with an invitation to watch the Part 2 video which will delve into UOP I/O configuration, System Config settings, and using the UOP I/O signals to run the robot in AUTO mode.
