Hi, friends, thanks in advance just for your time. first time posting but i have being reading around the last few weeks.
I'm working with a
KRC4 COMPACT
KS V8.3.450
PROFINET KRC-NEXXT VERSION 3.3.1
This is the first time that i work with a kuka robot at all. I will try to abide to the rules of the forum, excuse me if i make a mistake i will corrected.
I'm trying to configure and communicate the robot with a CPU Siemens IM-158. I can ping both the CPU and the robot.
The plc would be the master and the robot a device. I already configured the profinet device with:
The same profinet name
version 8.3, PNet 3.3
Activate Profinet device stack
Now everything seems to be ok and i dint have errors but i have configured the GSDML in step 7 with the addresses starting in 128 for both Inputs and Outputs and somehow in the I/O MAPPING windows, it always starts inputs in 16 and outputs en 15. I cant find where to change this or any information n the manual. Excuse me if its something basic that I'm missing. Also in the profinet if i connect and watch the profinet devices available, the device is there but its saying that its not configured in the project.
In this matter I don't have to add the device to the profinet configuration unless its going to act as a controller right?.
Can i change the I/Os addresses in workvisual or is in step 7? and if its in step 7 why is the workvisual program not bringing the addresses by default of the configuration. thanks in advance. I have attach a few pictures. also know that:
1._ the version profinet krc next its on the project but in a different folder called options.
2._ i deleted the safety I/Os , and tried 256 digital input and output, when you see the picture i just realize it says 32 but because i was doing just a test, but either with 256 or 32 everything remains the same.
3._ the profinet I/O device is as you see i have not added an extra device to it with the ADD option. I'm not sure if this is correct but is what i read in the manual.
