Hi Community,
Good day! Newbie here so forgive the ignorance This is my first time setting up a DeviceNET interface for my robot and welding power source, in the past we were able to integrate analog interface without problems but it seems we are having a hard time with DeviceNET to establish a communication. My problem is Yaskawa can't help me with Fronius side and Fronius side can't help me with Yaskawa side... and Beckhoff also has no experience with either so I am basically lost for the moment.
My setup as follows:
Yaskawa Motoman DX200 with MA1440
Fronius TPS CMT with Beckhoff BK5250
Yaskawa Side
Basically the problem is my COMM LED is blinking, HLTH is constantly on, cause of this error: Communication is not established
Manual says to:
• Check the wiring and connection of the DeviceNet cable and connector. Connection as per manual and verified correct, Cable is DeviceNET specific Belden 3082A
• Check the voltage and connection of the communication power supply. Voltage tapped from Fronius Welding Power Source 24VDC
• Check the transmission speed of each device. Tried on 125, 250 and 500 baud rates, BK5250 does not need to be set as this is automatically set
• Check the terminator value (121 Ω) of the mounted terminator and its mounted status. installed 120 ohms both ends
• Check the operation status of the DeviceNet master device. HLTH LED is constantly which means the board is operating normally
• Check if the number of I/O points for the connected master or slave corresponds to the number of I/O allocated points. I was advised by Fronius to use 12 byte (96/8), MAC ID of controller set 1 and MAC ID on the Fronius 11, as set in the BK5250
Fronius Side (Beckhoff BK5250)
I get LED #8 (IO Error) blinking red, "3" pulses (rapid flashing then blinks 3 times) = terminal bus command error
1. One thing I haven't done is make use of the BK5250 EDS file which was sent to me, I don't know where this goes, do you upload this on to the DX200 controller? how?
2. There is also a list of IO signals from the Fronius side which I have no idea where it goes in the controller (E01~E96 and A01~A96), does this have to be inputted manually?
I hope this 1 and 2 will solve my problem and not hardware related.
Hoping someone in the forum has the exact same configuration as mine... I'm actually so tempted to just give up and go back to Analog
Thanks in advance!
