Hello,

I have a robodrill with a 16iA control. the machine has macro B and a i/o expansion setup on it already because it has a pallet changer.

I am looking to add renishaw probes. I already have the renishaw hardware and renishaw macro gcodes.

I do not however have diagrams showing me where the skip input is. I also am curious if anyone thinks you need a high speed skip option board to run probes on a robodrill and if so, which p/n, and again how to hook this stuff up. I have what seems to be a very large stack of fanuc manuals for this machine for both the machine and the 16i control - none of which shows an electrical diagram.....

Thanks for your input on this in advance.

I am not positive if 16iA is an option for high speed skip or not but you can use and configure just normal skip input X4.7 or other if they are not use by robodrill I/O.
I personally always use high speed skip for probes, this is JA connector in the fanuc CPU card. I cannot remember offhand the JA# look in the fanuc manual.
