Look in the manuals section of this forum, I just uploaded it.
Hi,
I am getting this error while connecting ABB IRC5 controller with Siemens S7-1200 PLC on PROFINET platform . kindly help how can I set up this connection successfully.
Regards,
Are you using the correct GSDML file in the PLC for the IRC5 control type being used?
i have only had a one-time, brief, exposure to PROFINET and struggled to make it operational. Also. that was 2 years ago and recall little of the process.
I suggest finding the ABB Application manual PROFINET Controller/Device and use that as your guide.
Hi,
As you can see below snap shows network overview give information of PROFINET interface and GSD device but still when I go online it shows error. am I making mistake while going online?
After establishing this connection what should be correct step to go online. Please advise.
Thanks,
Raza
Did you make sure that the robot and PLC match in the configuration of both input size and output size?
Yes, the PLC side will be in the portal, but I don't do PLC's. Maybe there is someone else here that knows about that. You will need to configure the robot as needed also. Use robotstudio or the control panel.
In my case, i connected S7-1500 via PN to LAN3 port on the irc5.
In RobotStudio, you have to Setup same Thing, go to Configuration->I/O-System->PROFINET Internal Device
Hi,
I think its done, thanks for your help.
Do you have some catalogue for TIA Portal Profinet usage, means what are the things I can control in ABB robot with Profinet. If you have some sample program please share, your help really appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi,
Although it shows profinet connection is established but why firmware version and LAN3 port are not visible in device overview pan. One more thing, I just want to confirm, for this Profinet to be functioning should I have both service port and LAN3 connectionn ? , because if I remove either of them the connection goes off. Since only one port in my PC is working so I am using switch for service as well as LAN3 connection.
My RobotWare Version is: 6.01.1010, if you can share GSDML file or can tell me the source I will try to re install this file, may be because of that I am facing this problem
Thanks,
Hello,
It's been a while since I set up profinet on a robot, but when we did it, I had to load a file, IPPNIO.xml, to the robot, so that the robot knew how to talk on Profinet. Did you do this step?
the Profinet Configurator program that ABB supplied built the IPPNIO file, and then in config you had to point the system to the location of the file.
It's been a number of years since I did this, on RW 5.61, so the process may have changed since then.
I'm working with ABB's YuMi (IRB14000) and there is no need to implement the ippnio.xml manually..
i attached 2 gsdml's here, one is v1.2 and the other v1.4. BUT i'm using Robotware v6.08.00.01, so dont know if there are any complications to elder versions.
If you want to access both at same time, irc AND plc, i guess you need 2network ports..but i'm not sure about that. I'm working with 2 laptops, one for RS and one for TIA so there's no problem.
At the beginning, i tried same thing like you (1switch) but either RS connection or PN connection were very unstable, got many disconnections and couldnt really work with it..
For basic functionality, you can take a look at configuration->i/o-system->system input/output.
But basically you can run everything over PN, like send/receive coordinates, run interrupts, start different program sequences..
The only times I had to use the IPPNIO.xml was when the robot had a slave device that it needed to communicate with. I think that you need to use Netnames+ that comes with the utilities to give the controller a Profinet name.
