Hi,
I need to configure the profinet with krc4 using working visuals
Scenario:
PlC is master.
Robot is slave(Device).
I have profinet box controlled directly by robot for gripper.
Using workvisual
read KUKA profinet manual.
Steps I did:
1.Updated the DTM catalog with profinet in work visuals
2. Selected the hardware tab-bus structure- profinet. Right click and added the profinet in workviusal?
3. ticked- Activate profinet devicestack = to make it as slave(Device)
4.GAve device name and IP address?
My doubts are:
1. For making plc as master and robot as slave and for configuring the profinet IO box. Should l have to use step7 hardware config and do the hardware setup and generate a GSD file from from step7? If yes then where should I have to place the file?
2.How to do the IO mapping using workvisual. I saw the IO editor by selecting the profinet and changed the name and grouping. but still I am not getting idea.
Currently, The profinet box or PLC is not connected to the robot. So I can't test it.Can you please tell me,
1. Whether my configuration steps are correct?
2. my Doubt number 1 and 2?
Thanks in advance.
