Stäubli IO configuration and mapping

    Hello everyone!

    I am new in robotics and PLC and I am currently working some project with Stäubli TS2-80, CS9 controller and Simatic S7 1500. First I need to establish communication between the controller and the PLC via PROFINET. I know how to do it in Tia Portal, but I need help about that in Staubli Robotics Suite. Can someone explain me that and how to configure and map IOs in SRS? For example, how to make some tag on PLC (let's say output from PLC) acts like input on Stäubli controller? I would like some explanation in detail.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards!

    Approved the thread.

    Hello robots12345,

    You need SRS with SYCON.net installed with the same setup.exe to make the profinet configuration.

    1. Open the SRS cell with the correct controller.
    2. In the "Home" tab, click on "Physical IOs".
    3. In the "Physical I/O" tab, click on "Add IO board".
    4. Select PROFINET - Device - J207/J208 ... (add here PROFISAFE if you need it) and press "OK".
    5. Wait until SYCON.net is fully ready.
    6. Ignore all the error messages at the bottom (Output Window).
    7. Double click on icon connected to the gray bar.
    8. Go to "Modules" and add the modules you need by pressing "Add Module" and select the desired number of Bytes (Input = PLC input/CS9 output, Output = PLC output/CS9input).
    9. Go to "Signal Configuration" and edit the added bytes to match what you need. Right click "Edit Signal...".
    10. Once all done, press "OK", the save icon and close SYCON.net by clicking the "X" in the top right of the window.
    11. Fait for SRS to refresh or press "Refresh" if it doesn't do it automatically.
    12. Now you can right click on "J207/J208 RE/PNS" and "Export to GSDML".

    The rest, you wrote, you already know.

    The difference between theory and practice is greater in practice than in theory.
