Hello,
For the profinet communication you need the fieldbus board and to configure the signal allocations. I have used BITS command for the variable type.
I had one project having a laser sensor. The distance from the laser sensor was sent via profinet to the robot.
; The distance read from the sensor
r.sdistance = BITS(i.sdistance, 16)
From which device the robot will receive that value?
Yes, i do. From the PLC you can use the MOVE block and the Input of the block it will be the value that you want to send and the output it will be the output from the PLC send via profinet. The output from the PLC it will be an input for the robot. I have used word for this value.
