Using Profinet on Fanuc is quite easy, but requires software from Siemens - as the Profinet card is actually a Siemens CP-1604 or CP-1616 module, interfaced with Fanuc through a "mother card" (or however Fanuc calls it).
You have to assign an IP address to the card, create a project with an appropriate Hardware Config for all the devices (or just an IP address and IO assembly sizes if you want to use the robot only as slave/device, IIRC) and download it to the card while it's switched to SUSPEND mode. Then you switch the card's mode to READ-IN to allow the system to read the downloaded data and then to OPERATION to resume normal operation of the card.
The last thing is to map IOs on the controller and that's basically it. -

Would you mind sharing which software is needed for the Dual Channel Profinet option? Also, what is the difference between this option and the other Profinet options?

Hello.
On robot You well need option R834
On PC, You will need a software com Molex/Brad Communications called PFN-CT (ProfiNet Configuration Tool). This software comes bundled inside the robot option folder.
I don't now what are the concept differences beetwen both options.
