Remote Start: Siemens PLC S1500 / Fanuc R30iB : Profinet Comm

    Quote from DS186

    There are many different ways to do that. I normally use the SELECT instruction within my main loop. See here for some ideas on how to do it. This guy creates awesome content on his website.

    Thank you,


    The approach with a Main program calling subprograms works fine, but I would like learn the approach where you select a program from plc and sent signal to run it in the robot.


    Thanks again

    Set the start type to PNS

    Name your programs PNS0001, PNS0002, etc

    Have the PLC set the UI[9-16] bit to select the PNS number you want

    Pulse PNS strobe [UI17]

    Pulse production start UI[18]

    So, if I need to select PNS0001, I have to set UI[9],

    for PNS0002 => set UI[10]

    for PNS0003 => set UI[11]

    and so on


    Is this right?


    Thanks again

    Not exactly. You have to send the binary representation of the decimal PNS number you're trying to call.


    So, if you need to select PNS0001, set UI[9],

    for PNS0002 => set UI[10]

    for PNS0003 => set UI[10] AND UI[9]

    for PNS0004 => set UI[11]

    for PNS0005 => set UI[11] AND UI [9]


    etc
