Dear,
We have an old KUKA KR C1 robot. We would like to establish communication with Phoenix Contact IBS IP CDIO/R 24-12/4/8 and robot via Interbus. We only need robot to behave as interbus master (interbus slave function is not needed). This IO module was already preinstalled with the robot and probably working in history (cabling is present and we want to reuse it). One module was probably taken out of the configuration during robot disassembly from the previous line. Cabling is ready and looks ok.
This IBS IP CDIO/R 24-12/4/8 module has:
- ID code: 03
- Length code: 1
- Input address area: 2 bytes (phys. 12 inputs)
- Output address area: 2 bytes (phys. 4 outputs)
- Parameter channel: 0 bytes
- Register length (bus): 2 bytes
I would kindly ask you if you have some example of how to setup Interbus on KR C1 or some know-how instructions. What you have shared above was already helpful but I am still missing something.
Is it necessary to use a program tool to set up interbus or can it be done manually in iosys.ini and interbus.ini files on robot?
Similar thing works already works for me for devicenet with Beckhoff devicenet coupler and IOs without any tool (just setting files in init folder).
Thank you very much for help in advance BR
