Kuka KRC2 Devicenet repeating Inputs and Outputs over different addresses?

    Hello, i have a issue with the configuration of the DeviceNet (MFC card). i have remote I/O units (Festo Values Ch5 2x8 Input and 9 outputs) and a (unit Ch 6 2x8 input and 2x8 Output)


    But problem is that when i have inputs from the unit ch5 DI0 i see in the KRC Input $IN[17] and $IN[33] and so on.

    so it is somehow repeating the inputs.?


    the adresses $IN[33] should be connected to the Other unit Ch6 DI0 but that one is not working at all. it all works when i only connect one unit. but when i have both it is not working. hope i just do something stupid.




    I have configured devnet.ini as:


    [krc]

    debug=1

    baudrate=125

    LOGFILE=1


    [1]

    macid=5


    [2]

    macid=6



    IOSYS.INI as:



    ;==========================================================

    ; IOSYS.INI - Configuration file for the IO-System

    ;==========================================================

    ; For configuration help go to the end of this file.

    kind regards, Marc

    it's been long time since i dealt with KRC1/KRC2 and even then i always mapped I/O using smallest unit (byte).

    can you check of this is the issue:


    OUTW0=0 ;$OUT[1-16]

    ; OUTW1=1 ;$OUT[17-32]

    OUTW2=2 ;$OUT[33-48]

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2

    That will fix the problem, but the reason is:

    You have installed the older Devicenet driver dndrv.o. (in comparison to dn2drv) :smiling_face:

    With that driver the entrys in iosys.ini have a different Form than you used.

    All inputs and outputs are counted over all units, there is no number of the unit in the definition line. I. E. :

    Code
    [DEVNET]
INB2=0 ;$IN[17-24]
INB3=1 ;$IN[25-32]
INB4=2 ;$IN[33-40]
INB5=3 ;$IN[41-48]
; the same for output...

    Oke Hermann,



    so i have 2 units channel 5 and 6 is this than the correct way ?

    [DEVNET]

    INB2=5 ;$IN[17-24]

    INB3=5 ;$IN[25-32]

    INB4=6 ;$IN[33-40]

    INB5=6 ;$IN[41-48]

    NO, copy my example literally.

    ALL inputs are counted in one line.

    Address 5 has no. 0 and 1

    Address 6 has no. 2 and 3

    if each one has 2 bytes.

    Pay attention, some modules have extra status bytes.
