Fanuc CMore Protocol

IP Address: The IP Address of the Fanuc Series R-30iB Robot Controller.
Port (0–65535): The SRTP server listening TCP port number of the PLC. The default value is 18245. This field can be changed in the event that the C-more panel needs to access the PLC through a firewall using NAT. This field can also be changed if there is a requirement to have the SRTP server port number at a non-default value on a LAN.
Retries (0-10): The C-more panel will send a request to the Fanuc Series R-30iB Robot Controller. If the CPU does not reply within the specified “Response Timeout” period, the C-more panel will send the request again up to the number of Retries. Once the retry count (specified in this field) limit has been reached, the C-more panel will display a PLC Timeout error on the screen. This will occur on a TCP connect request or a Command request (after the TCP connection is established).
Timeout time (1-255) (in 100ms units): The amount of Time (in 100ms units) that the panel will wait on the Command reply (or TCP ACK message) after sending a request. After the Timeout timer expires, it will then retry.
Poll Time (0-30000 msec): The amount of Time (in milliseconds) that the panel will wait in between each request.
