RoboGuide and ProfiBus problem

Hi all!

If I recall correctly, I had complained in this forum about ProfiBus configuration screens not working in RoboGuide few months ago.

Basically, if I create a new cell, or create a cell from a backup, the two ProfiBus screens didn't apear in the I/O and SETUP menus. ProfiBus variables are there, racks, and everything else. But as the screens (and the menu entries associated with it) didn't appear, so I can't check ProfiBus configs.

At that time, I was thinking the problem was my specific version (V8 RevE).

But recently, I've noticed the same problems with a newer version (V8 RevK).

But... this problem occur with FRVRC version 7.70 and below. With FRVRC 8.30, I have all the menus working properly.

Someone else saw this happening?

I didn't.

Profibus screen juts work with FRVRC 8.30 or above.

As far I can tell, in older versions is not possible to use it.

What is the robot software version? The real robot, I mean.

Ok.

Changing the software version will not work on Roboguide, as You could see.

But You can try to use kconvars utility to convert the profibus.sv file to a readable profibus.va file. This way You can see the parameters used to configure ProfiBus inside Your backup.
