Thank you very much

You need to buy Profinet card and Profinet software from Fanuc.

How can I check if there is already a card and soft installed?

Thank you

PS: When I go Menu > IO > next, I have Profinet PFN-TP-CT

Does that mean that I can connect the robot to PLC by Profinet?

You can check what options you have installed by pressing MENU > 0 > 4: STATUS > Version ID > Softkey F3 CONFIG. There will be a list of every option installed.

When there, how to find out wich comunication protocol is installed?

Thanks

Edit: I have "Dual Chan. Profinet" and PROFINET CP16XX FW, Is that what I need?

Thank you

Yes. But configuration is a bit fiddly.

My bad,

Do you have any doc or advise?

Thanks

Quote from hermann

You can get the documentation from Fanuc customer support. Register to https://www.fanucamerica.com/support/robot/cc-registration or https://my.fanuc.eu/.

I am already redistred, and account validated by Fanuc,

I can see documents, but I am not able to find the right doc for this

Could you give me the doc name please?

Thanks

Yes. But configuration is a bit fiddly.

I have a doc to configure it, but I don't really now if I have Profinet Software&Hardware installed?

How can I check if I have these?

Thank you

Here you stated that you have cp16xx, now again you don't know?

Post a picture of your controller, and the version IDs.

Yes, I have that options, but I don't see the CP16xx when I open the cabinet, so it's a bit confusing.

Here are the pictures

Thanks

The other picture shows the Molex card. You will find the steps for configuration in the PROFINET manual. See your other topic for information about the GSDML file. I already answered this question in the second thread.

Thank you,

I read you answer there, but I have no idea in how to customize and GSDML.

thanks

Quote from DS186

You don't need to create your own GSDML file for the Molex option. This is only required for the Siemens CP16xx.

Okay, thanks,

Where can I find the right GSDML?
