Apologies panic mode. Please find the below information.
Welder: A7 kempii MIG with profinet.
Generic HMI: Renu Flexipanel 5070TN
Gateway: HMS Anybus AB7650
The steps you have mentioned are all in working order.
Robot runs any program selected from teach pendant and also runs in desired mode AUT/T1/T2
Now we want to remove the smartHMI and simply use the Renu HMI for automatic external mode.
On the Anybus gateway part,
The controller side is connected to the gateways PROFINET side (172.31.1.43)
The Renu HMI side is connected to the Modbus TCP side. (172.31.1.44)
And gateway software has been used to program for 8 bytes in and 8 bytes out on both sides.
So we added the Anybus gsdml file, configured the ip as 172.31.1.43 and module to 8 bytes IN and 8 bytes OUT.
Mapped the Controller IO to the anybus IO.
Controller iOs are T1 T2 AUT EXT , and INT for program number and [1025] and [1026] for mov enable and ext start.
And the Renu HMi has been programmed with some set bit coils and program number as INT to be sent to the gateway.
Now I can access the desired buttons on the renu hmi and see the data change on the gateways data monitor using its browser.
So we activated the modified project and updated the DTM catalog.
After all the updates,
We clicked connect on the profinet under field buses.
It's connect and turns green, same manner we tried connecting to welder unit and connnected and goes green while the gateway gives an error "Error in DTM PROFINET, device 'abx' cannot be located on the network"
Here abx is just the device name we set in workvisual.
We are using the gateway as our kuka only has profinet and the Renu hmi does not have an eds/had/gsdml file.
Thanks
