FANUC A05B-2518-C200 / C202 / C204 – Material Handling Teach Pendant | R-30iB Series Platform
Engineering Background
The FANUC A05B-2518-C200 series teach pendant is purpose-engineered for material handling robot cells operating under the R-30iB / R-30iB Plus controller architecture. Designed to meet the demanding cycle-time and uptime requirements of automotive, logistics, and general manufacturing environments, this pendant provides the operator interface layer between the engineer and the robot motion controller.
Product Positioning
This teach pendant covers three variant codes — C200 (standard), C202 (with extended I/O display), and C204 (with safety-rated deadman switch configuration) — making it the correct replacement or spare unit for a wide range of FANUC M-series and LR Mate material handling robots. Konmask.com supplies this unit as a verified OEM component, sourced through authorized industrial channels and subject to pre-shipment functional inspection.

Engineering Advantages
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Plug-and-play replacement — no firmware patching or controller reconfiguration required for same-series swaps
- Three Variant Coverage: C200 / C202 / C204 under one sourcing SKU family, reducing procurement complexity
- Safety-Rated Deadman (C204): Dual-channel deadman switch meets ISO 10218-1 and EN 954-1 Category 3 requirements
- Rugged Industrial Build: IP54 housing withstands coolant mist, metal dust, and vibration typical of MH environments
- Full iPendant Feature Set: Supports FANUC iHMI, ROBOGUIDE offline program upload, and real-time I/O monitoring
- Reduced Downtime Risk: Stocking a spare A05B-2518-C200 series pendant eliminates multi-week OEM lead times during unplanned failures
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The A05B-2518-C200 series pendant connects to the R-30iB controller’s dedicated pendant port via the 50-pin proprietary cable. Signal flow is bidirectional: the controller streams real-time axis position, alarm status, I/O state, and program data to the pendant display; operator inputs (jog commands, program selection, speed override, E-Stop) are transmitted back to the main CPU board (A16B series) via the pendant communication bus. The 3-position deadman switch signal is routed through the controller’s safety circuit board (A20B series) and is hardware-interlocked — independent of software state — ensuring fail-safe behavior in teach mode.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
- Source: OEM-grade units sourced from authorized industrial distributors and decommissioned production lines with documented service history
- Inspection Protocol: Each unit undergoes power-on functional test, display verification, deadman switch continuity check, and E-Stop circuit validation prior to shipment
- Condition: New surplus or refurbished-to-spec; condition grade disclosed per order
- Traceability: Part number and serial number recorded at intake; available on request for quality records
- Packaging: Anti-static bag + foam-lined carton; cable coiled and secured to prevent connector stress

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the A05B-2518-C200 compatible with R-30iA controllers?
A: No. The C200 series is designed for R-30iB and R-30iB Plus platforms. For R-30iA, the correct pendant family is A05B-2255-C series.
Q: Can I use a C200 pendant on a robot configured for C204?
A: The C204 variant includes a dual-channel safety deadman required for certain safety-rated cell configurations. Substituting a C200 may trigger a safety circuit fault. Always match the variant code to your controller’s safety configuration.
Q: Does the pendant include the cable?
A: Standard listing includes the pendant unit with integrated cable (10 m). If your application requires a different cable length, contact us before ordering.
Q: What warranty is provided?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty covering defects identified under normal operating conditions. Extended warranty available on request.
Q: Can you provide a certificate of conformance or test report?
A: Yes. A functional test report is available upon request for quality-critical procurement.
