I am configuring CP1616 on KRC2 KSS5.6, but after setting up the Siemens install CD and rebooting, I do not see a driver for profinet in the IOSYS.INI and also not the pniodrv.ini file.
In the device manager of windows I see the CP1616 correctly installed with the Siemens driver.
What could be wrong?

everything is wrong... read the manual
(sorry, just could not resist )in KRC all hardware must be under control of vxWorx, and not Windows. there is a very clear note about this in installation instructions

Did you get card from KUKA as they are not standard cards the firmware on KUKA cards are different I believe
-
We got the controller delivered from Kuka, the CP1616 was installed, but they did not install the technology package for Profinet.
Next week I will install the technology package, and see furtheron.
I did not install the windows driver, I canceled the message from Windows that a new device was found and to search for driver.
I only installed the delivered software (from Siemens) for the CP1616. -
The KUKA driver for the CP card will block Windows from seeing the card and trying to take control of it. I'm quite surprised it wasn't installed if the card was.
