You could try making the file and populating it, see if you get any errors. My KRC2 DeviceNet-enabled controllers use a devicenet card rather than the MFC board, but they still have the default configuration file C:\KRC\ROBOTER\INIT\devnet.ini. I have copied the file below. I think this format is also laid out in the DeviceNet manual. I make no claims as the the validity of any of these numbers, it's just an example.
[krc]
debug=0
baudrate=500
[1]
macid=5yes it has the same name (devnet.ini) and is in the init folder. The file is also on the cd.
What driver are yu using (code snippet from iosys.ini)?
1. did you reboot the robot after making the changes to DEVNET.INI?
2. What errors is the robot showing, if any?
3. Did you provide output power to the Beckhoff? This is usually separate from the 24VDC on the DevNet cable.
.. The first wheel on the BK5250 is on 0 and the second is on 1 (which I believe it’s number 1 address).. .
According to the manual the upper switch has to be on 1, the lower one on 0.
What do you mean by 'first' and 'second'?
if not sure, just set both to same value to make unit 11 or 22 or 33....
just show us the contents of iosys.ini
2. What errors is the robot showing, if any? I attached a photo here, i’m sorry for my ignorance but does this affects the device net?
No, those errors have nothing to do with DeviceNet.
Panic Mode, I’ve tried with 11, but the LEDs on the output card does not light, still.
When you changed the module address to 11, did you also change the setting in DEVNET.INI to match?
As MOM says, post the contents of IOSYS.INI. I suspect you do not have the Devnet driver active.
@SkyFire
that is what i think as well (see post #5), maybe he just using the mfc driver
iosys.ini is still missing
and wiring is wrong...
there is no 24V supplied to the bus.
shield is not grounded either...
some more information:
macid:
lower wheel shows x10 and upper wheel x1
x10 and x1 are mutiplier:
so setting macid to 1 means: 0*10+1*1 => lower wheel to 0 and upper wheel to 1
Right LEDs
upper two leds are on (Power LED Us and Power LED Up)
third LED is OFF (K-BUS LED Run) => BK-us is not running
Left LEDs
all LED are off (in accordance to picture)
FIELD BUS Off
In accordance to your post #4 kogging is enabled => you should have a devnet.log
Can you post this log file?
instead of the iosys.ini you can also post a screen shot like done in post #13 with
[DRIVERS]
as start
