We have from a new ordered robot, the robot electrical cabinet delivered at one adres, and the manipulator at another site.
Now I should want to start configuring and testing the IO of the gripper (on ET200SP as profinet device) connected to the cabinet.
However the manipulator will not be there physically.
For the logic of the gripper, a program will run in the submit interpreter.
Will this be possible : configuring profinet confirution and let the submit interpreter run to test the logic of the gripper, while the robot itself is not connected to the cabinet, (the KCP is connected to the cabinet)?
Or do I have to wait until the manipulator is also connected?

Sure...
in fact you can have BOTH Submit and Robot interpreter running (without robot arm) if you change environment to Office -
Yes and I have done it, true not with new robot but already used. You just get several error messages.
Also there is possibility to configure cabinet to an office PC. Have not tried that, but something like this:• C:\KRC\ROBOTER\Config\System\Common\ConfigXML.xml
