I'm having some trouble getting profinet working on an IIWA. Really I seem to have two problems:
1: Using the most current WorkVisual provided by Kuka 4.0.17 and described as being compatible in the Sunrise OS v1.11 documentation. If I create a new sunrise project, open up the IOConfiguration in workvisual, and add a profinet interface to the controller, as soon as I try and configure that interface by double clicking, or right clicking and selecting settings, WorkVisual Immediately crashes. I've tried several fresh WorkVisual installs, including deleting the c:/ProgramData Kuka files which contain the option installations (such as the sunrise export utility).
WorkVisual 4.0.17 (and any version I have after 4.0.6) crashes when trying to configure profinet in any project, not just sunrise ones. Does anyone else's version do this? I've done some searching and found nothing. I've tried copying the DTMs from a working version among other things but no joy.
2: Using the most recent WorkVisual that allows me to configure profinet (this is on a different laptop) with v 4.0.6, but still sunrise v1.11 and the WorkVisual sunrise export utility that came with it. When I synchronise this project to the sunrise controller, when it reboots the red bar at the top of the pendant remains on. The safety has error "Safety Control Startup Failed". The fieldbus window does not indicate any fieldbus issues. This suggests to me that the profinet bus isn't even starting. I have installed the profinet option package to the sunrise controller, through the StationSetup.cat.
Has anyone managed to commission a sunrise controller with profinet? I don't even mind if the safety is still over X11, I just need the IO by profinet. The safety over profisafe would be cleaner if I can get it, I expect once profinet works at all the safety will be straightforward.
I'd be most grateful for any solutions, or even suggestions of something else to try.
