Problem profinet molex and CRX with Tablet

    Hello,

    I have a problem with the configuration betwen API Siemens and Molex card on CRX with tablet. It is not possible to launch the config program on the tablet. With a teach, it's possible to program comm (number of bytes, etc..). I don't have a teach with this CRX.

    Resume:

    - impossible to launch application molex on Tablet

    - impossible to config Molex card mode esclave with software Molex

    - Fanuc hotline has one solution: connect Teach


    an idea ?

    Oh thank god, its not just me.

    I have been strugling with this for DAYS now.

    The Profinet(m) menu item is shown, but it does nothing.

    Apparently there should be a piece of software called pfn-ct that can do the setup from a pc, if you are connected to the profinet side.

    Im still trying to get a hold on this software, Not to mention a newer version of the profibus manual that contains appendix D, that shows more about the molex cards.

    There are 2 separate MOLEX PC-applications that could come in handy.

    PFN TP CT (ProFiNet Teach Pendant Configuration Tool?): which is an application that looks and works exactly as the application that's running on a teach pendant. To use it, the PC needs to be connected by ethernet to the controller's CD38A or CD38B port.

    PFN CT (ProFiNet Configuration Tool): which is for creating the libraries that's needed for the I/O-controller configuration. Downloads directly to the profinet card.


    Both of them are covered (or at least mentioned) in the Profinet Manual for FANUC robots.
