Connecting to Fanuc Robot R30iA controller

General Discussion

I’m getting ready to connect to a Fanuc R30 controller and wanted to sanity check that this is still the best way to do this:

  1. Enable Fanuc HMI/SNPX software on robot controller.
  2. Install Kepware GE Suite on Ignition server
  3. Configure Tags on Kepware
  4. Add Kepware OPC UA server to Ignition
  5. Kepware tags are seen in in Kepware Tag Browser (no need to configure a device on Ignition).

Does that sound right?
