Hello,
i want to connect IRC5 Profibus anybus (Master) with PLC Beckhoff CX9020 EL6731-0010 (Slave). So far i got problem with .GSD file. I downloaded GSD file for EL6731 and i don't know how to install it on IRC5. When i am trying transfer files via FTP, then transfer error occuried. I tried to do it also in Robot Studio, but i dont know how. Can somebody tell me how to instal EL6731 GSD file on IRC5 ?
Contact with my local ABB Support is hard...
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dawid Firlej

Your PLC is what imports the GSD into it's configuration, not the robot controller.

Ohhh i am newbie in industrial protocols, its my first project connected with that... Anyway thx for help
Is it possible to send to IRC5, REAL data type as words via ProfibusDP?
Maybe some libraries ? I want to use them as corrections for critical positions and wobj coordinates. -
The best and most bit efficient way is to configure it as an analog input. There have been discussions already regarding such, so if you do some searching you can find those threads.

I have to change concept and swap master with slave. Now PLC will be master and IRC 5 will be slave. Is it enought to import IRC5 .gsd file into PLC ?
