I am used to always connect to IRC5 by the service port.
Now I should want to connect by the Profinet device interface (also for remote connection).
I cannot see the controller from robotstudio when it is connected to the profinet interface.
Is there a special procedure or settings necessary to connect by the Profinet interface?

It is not possible. If you want to use remote connection you can use LAN or WAN port with correctly configured network settings.

Our robot will be connected on a large plantnetwork together with plc's and other devices. The customer will give us remote acces to login to that network.
That means we need a separate network to connect the service port or lan, and also need remote connection to that separate network? -
The option "PC Interface" enables you to connect Robot Studio to the controller over the LAN-port

Profinet is a field bus network and generally limited with zone for real time application. If you want participate to public network you must be use another LAN ports. (e.g WAN). Profinet is already support TCP/IP or UDP connection in simultaneous but in the ABB side doesn't give Access to Robot Studio connection. PC Interface option is not your solution because it is provide another specification to Robot. (e.g. FTP, Socket communication etc.)
Any case you can not connect to the robot with profinet network.

If you want participate to public network you must be use another LAN ports. (e.g WAN).In which case you'll need PC interface to allow you to connect RS to that port, w.o. it your only option is the service port.

Do you mean if I connect the robot by the Serviceport to a VPN connection that I don't need the 'Pc interface' for remote (by the internet) monitoring and changing of the program in the robot?

Remember there's a DHCP server working on the Service Port, it hands out addresses in the 192.168.125 range.
