KRC4 ProfiNet & EthernetKRL setup

  • Hi All


    I have an application where I would like to set up the ProfiNet (to talk to a Siemens Controller) and EthernetKRL (to talk to an external PC/Server). My question is: can they both co-exist on the same KLI port, of course with two different network interfaces? If not, will I have to use the KONI port with KUKA.OptionalNetworkInterface package?


    KSS Version: 8.6.3

    EthernetKRL: yet to arrive

    Profinet: yet to arrive


    Regards

  • they can coexist. normally both are using same KLI interface (but different network settings). KLI can be used for several different things all working at the same time (EKI, RSI, ProfiNet etc.).


    ProfiNet is fixed and only can use virtual5.
    I have never needed to use KONI for other things but it should be no problem to use it for EKI.

  • I can confirm Panic Mode is correct. I did a lot of ProfiNet and ProfiSafe and EKI over the KLI port, a few years ago. My EKI was transferring a few KB of data at a time, and the Profi connections never had any issues.
