Hello,
I have some experience in several robots, however I never used profibus or setup a ABB, just programming in RAPID.
I need to change some module from a gripper and change to profibus they give me 2 modules Lumberg 970 PSL 700 16 DI/DO.
the older module was point to point.
The Configuration is PLC master Robot slave and IO Module of the gripper slave of the robot.
My questions are:
1) I need to use the second port in the DSQC 637 Profibus, do I need to mention in the configuration? By my understanding this is the port for the Master (robot is the master).
2) I'm trying to configure it but I had several problems with the configuration the Unit Type is not there, can i had one? How?
I read talking about the Softing configurator that generates a bin file from GSD. What ever I try it always complain about pbus_cfg.bin not found.
But a colleague told me should be possible to do it without it, because I only need to enable it. And that's where it starts my confusion because my colleague told me this should be done installing a new OS in the robot but with this enable.
