Hello fellow programmers,
I have a problem, basically im using an Siemens S1200 PLC and a FANUC CRX10ia robot with a R30iB mini plus controller.
Im trying to establish a simple PROFINET connection between the two so that the robot acts as a slave to the signals sent by the PLC.
The card in the robot controller has the code A17B-8102-0100 (through the document orderfil.dat from the AoA backup i have managed to find out its also refered to as: A05B-2600-S536 ! PROFINET FANUC board+), and i connected my PC to a switch and then connected the PLC and the PROFINET card to the switch.
Problem is, 90% of the manuals i can find have menus which dont even exist on my TP (we have a tablet teach pendant), so they arent really of a lot of help).
And im having a big big problem connecting to the robot, tried importing the GSD file into TiA and it throws the PLC into error and shows a lower level component error because the robot isnt found on the network (PLC is on IP 10.0.30.50, PC is on 10.0.30.30, and FANUC ethernet IP is set at 10.0.30.90) and the robot just doesnt show up in the accessible devices list.
Also tried connecting the PROFINET card directly to my PC and pinging the ip but nothing happens, literally like the card doesnt exist. The link status LED is glowing orange which means connection is established? (according to the manual atleast), so i really have no clue what to do anymore... I thought about the fact that the "Ethernet IP" setting on the robot TP might be for the 2 ports that are located on the side of the controller (very much possible because when the PC is connected to one of those 2 ports, the ping works. But i see no option to change any other IP besides that one on the TP...
I have been going at this for 2 straight weeks now with no real progress so im hoping somebody has some idea of whats going on..
Pretty sure the problem is robot side since TiA does not even see it in online devices and im unable to ping it (when its connected from the PROFINET board).
Also when switching the robot Device Mode to RUN it immediataely switches to stop and when confirming yes it says that its unable to reset.
Some other (maybe) important details:
Software versions, IDs:
Software version: 9.40P/64
Boot monitor: V9.40P/43
Teach pendant: 7D0A/01P
Controller FANUC R-30iB Mini plus
Type: A05B-2696-B001
If anybody has any idea of what to do, please help, im desperate for any working solution..
Also if you require any other information or the AoA backup of the robot, just tell me i can send you anything needed.
Thank you.
