+# FANUC manipulators
+
+**TODO: Intro FANUC text**
+
+FANUC is one of the largest and most established industrial robotic manipulator manufacturers.  
+
+To use the FANUC collection, add `collections/fanuc` **v1.0.0** to your configuration in AICA Launcher, currently
+supporting the CRX-10iA. For more robot descriptions, please contact the AICA support team. 
+
+This guide and the provided drivers are designed for FANUC robots, adhering to the specifications provided with 
+the FANUC ROS 2 driver. Namely, for full compatibility the following are required:
+
+- Robot controller
+    - R-30iB Plus, R-30iB Mate Plus: V9.40P/81 or later
+    - R-30iB Mini Plus: V9.40P/77 or later
+    - R-50iA series: V10.10P/26 or later
+
+- Additional software options, one of the following:
+    - J519 Stream Motion and R912 Remote Motion
+    - S636 External Control Package, which includes the previous
+
+For more information, see the [official release instructions](https://fanuc-corporation.github.io/fanuc_driver_doc/main/docs/environment/system_requirements.html).
+
+:::warning
+
+As stated in the official page, J568 and J570 are no longer required.
+

+
+## Connecting to a robot
+
+Robot controllers usually provide multiple Ethernet ports. Make sure to connect to the one defined in the 
+`$STMO.$PHYS_PORT` system variable. If you do not know how to apply the necessary changes, contact the robot manufacturer
+or the AICA support team.
+
+Activate the robot control tablet and, if in Local, set it to Remote mode from the icon on the top right. 
+
+<div class="text--center">
+  <img src={fanucLocal} alt="FANUC tablet in local mode." style={{ width: '110px', borderRadius: "8px" }} />
+</div>
+
+This is how the tablet screen should look like, with the robot in Remote mode and ready to connect:
+
+<div class="text--center">
+  <img src={fanucRemote} alt="FANUC tablet in remote mode." style={{ width: '400px', borderRadius: "8px" }} />
+</div>
+
+:::note
+
+You might also need to confirm the payload the first time the controller boots.
+
+:::
+
+## Hardware interface
+
+:::tip
+
+For optimal performance, set the hardware interface rate to 125 Hertz. Depending the controller rate, this might
+be set higher. Consult with the original documentation or contact the AICA support team for more details.

+- Robot IP: the address of the robot 
+- RMI port: the port of the FANUC Remote Motion Interface, used to set ? 
+- Stream Motion Port: the port to stream motion commands
+- Payload Schedule: ?

+Click **Start** to start the application and connect to the robot.
