IRC 5 Add an I/O Module with profinet

  • To know if you have Profinet or not, in the Flexpendant, open the menu, go to "system information", "system properties", "control module" and "options". There you should see if PROFINET is installed.


    To configure the fieldbusses, you must modify the EIO.cfg file that you can find in the SYSPAR folder.


    You can do it with any text editor or in an easier way from RobotStudio, download it from the ABB website, connect a network cable to the service port of the robot, set your IP address to something like 192.168.125.xxx (check it in the Internet, said this from memory) and then , in the controller tab, go to "configuration" and select "I/O System".


    From there, follow the instructions you will find in the "System parameters" help file (to find it in RobotStudio, top right there is a blue question mark, click it and then under "documentation" open the "IRC5 documentation" and open it. Maybe you will also have one "Profinet controller/device with IO configuration" help file too. worth taking a look to it.


    As summary this should help you.
