Customer provides:

1
Locate R30iB controller Ethernet port
The R30iB controller has an Ethernet port (CD38A board) on the front. Some controllers have a dedicated I/O Link port — use the main Ethernet port for EtherNet/IP.
2
Connect Ethernet cable
Cat6 from the R30iB Ethernet port to the Flowstate edge node. The controller uses a standard RJ45 connector.
3
Set IP address
On the teach pendant: MENU > SETUP > Host Comm > TCP/IP. Set static IP in the 10.0.100.x range.

1
Configure EtherNet/IP adapter
Teach pendant: MENU > I/O > EtherNet/IP > Adapter. Set input/output sizes to match the Flowstate scanner configuration (typically 32 bytes in/out).
2
Verify robot registers
Fanuc registers R[1]-R[100] and position registers are available via EtherNet/IP. Map cycle count, cycle time, and alarm status to specific registers in the robot program.

1
EtherNet/IP connection test
The Flowstate edge node will discover the robot via EtherNet/IP identity broadcast. Verify product name matches 'R30iB' and status registers are reading.
2
Dashboard check
Robot appears in Flowstate with motion status, cycle count, and alarm state.
