Hi Aga_k2,
I was just wondering if the communication issue was solved by changing the robot to an Ethernet/IP scanner. If so, did you have to do anything on the PN/EIP gateway? You were saying that the robot had to be switched to a scanner and the gateway as an adapter...
We're trying to get a setup like this running: S7-1500 and a Fanuc robot with an EIP card, since PN cards have no date of supply (difficult times we're living in terms of supply, at least in Europe!).
I was trying to approach this setup with only the 1500 and the robot's EIP card, because I've seen a function block from Siemens support that would allow the S7-1500 to act as an EIP scanner, but if the robot has to be the scanner, how would that work?
I don't have the hardware yet, but I'm trying to understand whether I would need a PN/EIP gateway.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
