Hello,
I have an older robot ABB irb 2600id-8/2.00 with IRC5 cabinet (DSCQ 639 computer) with robotware 5.15 and installed option:
709-x DeviceNet
709-1 Master/Slave Single
623-1 Multitasking
and other for MigMag and path options.
I know I can use DeviceNet to connect to some external devices like gripper/cleaner etc with physical I/Os.
I need to connect a PLC (Simens/Beckhoff) to this robot with 512 I/Os, I did set the IP adress of the LAN port for Public connection and I can see it in the network. I don't have the PLC in my hands yet but is it possible to connect PLC via this LAN port? Or do I need some other option/additional hardware for this?
