krc2 MFC2 card and cp1616 - is it possible?

    Hi guys,

    i am trying to install a Profinet card cp1616 on a standard KRC2 controller (not ed05) with MFC2 (ISA) card and IBS c33. Profinet IO 2.3.3

    Is that possible as the KSS failed to start after i install the card?

    I am asking because i saw in the profinet io instructions that it needs ed05 controller.

    But i remember doing this same task successfully in the past... or may be i am mistaken?

    A few questions:

    - is the pc not starting or the KSS not starting?

    - which main board is installed (400 MHz or 733 MHz)?

    - what KSS version is installed?

    - in which slot number did you install the cp1616 card?

    - did you attach external voltage to the cp1616 card?

    Hi, and thank you for the time spent to help!

    - the pc is fine, the KSS starts, but hangs on about 20% and after that says it cannot load HMI etc. Please check the attached photo. If i remove the card it starts ok, it is ok also if the PNET driver is not activated in IOsys.ini. I can see the device CP1616 via Siemens network and can give it IP address etc, but when i try to connect through TIA portal it gives an error: Device unreachable.
    -the board is SY-7VBA 133 with Celeron 733
    - the KSS 5.5
    - atm it is on slot N3 - i tried different position it is the same result.

    - no external voltage attached to the card

    Thanks again, hope to solve it :smiling_face:

    Just checked the same card, PLC and config on a ed05 controller and it worked just fine without any problems.

    The strange thing is that i did few months ago same setup on a standard KRC2 cabinet with MFC2 card and it is working fine... really cannot get what might be the issue

    Hi,


    The ProfiNET driver that is on the robot is version 2.3.3.


    The firmware version of the CP1616 is 2.1.


    I reinstalled the driver on the robot but still no success.


    When the ProfiNET driver is enabled, the IO configuration fails.

    check in "system" - "device manager"

    where is the cpc1616 listed (should not be on windows side - maybe real time)? - make a screen shot


    cross will time out after 2 minutes

    tcp after app. 12 minutes

    is windows responding after that tcp time?


    I have not found any settings for the 733 MHz MB to work together with cp1616

    (maybe this was just luck?!)

    Hi again :smiling_face:
    Just to close the case and to explain how i solved the problem.

    I got to the other robot where i had installed the CP1616 card, made a ghost copy of the HDD and used that copy on the robot with the problem. And it worked :smiling_face:

    After i checked what was the difference i found out that the ProfinetIO software i was using on the working machine was version 1.3.5 and on the non working one - 2.3.3.

    So - if you need to use a profinet on an old non ed 05 robot - just use old Profinet software :smiling_face:

    Hope this will save someone elses time and efforts :smiling_face:


    Happy holidays for everyone!
