Hi,
I want to connect duAro2 F61 conntroller with Astrada PLC using Ethernet IP. I managed to configure connection: robot controller as adapter and PLC as scaner. However I want to set configuration the other way around (robot controller as scaner and PLC as adapter). For configurating fieldbus settings on controler I use IO Setting Tool application. There, for EtherNet IP fieldbus i can set: number of fielbus signals, IP address, subnet mask and gateway. Those settings are enough to establish working connection but with robot as adapter.
Trying to set configuration (robot=>scaner, PLC=>adapter) I set number of fieldbus signals to 16, and proper IP address (using IO Setting Tool application). Then I configured Astrada PLC using CODESYS, I add EtherNet/IP and EtherNet/IP Adapter with 2 input and 2 output modules (16 bits in, and 16 bits out). But when I ran controller and PLC, there was no connection. Status of EtherNet/IP Adapter was "No connection established...".
Should I somehow set something else on the controller or should I look for a problem in CODESYS and PLC configuration.
I know that for example in F controller to configure it as scaner I need to set parameter TargetConfigConnInstance to match the slave/adapter device. But since duAro robots and F61 controller don't have teach pendants I don't know how to do it.
Therefore my question: Is there other method of configuring fieldbus on duAro (different than IO Setting Tool application) or the controler configuration (conducted as I mentioned before using IO Setting Tool) is ok and I should look for the problem in PLC configuration?
Thanks in advance
