Thank you a lot.

It's to be used on a private network, a department network in a educational institution.

Maybe my problem is that I don't have an industrial switch. Could it be?

Quote from M.Ozkan

You can use LAN2, LAN3 or WAN port for Profinet Communication. LAN2 and LAN3 is isolated network for private LAN. WAN is open public LAN and can be mixed with Profinet LAN. You don't need Profinet card for DSQC1000 and RW6. Profinet option can work Master and slave together on same port. Just need of industrial switch.

Thanks for the information.

But the offer they've sent to me is about Profinet IO "slave" option 888-3, and master option requieres profinet card, at least, that was they told me.

Are you sure it is possible to work master and slave wihout profinet board with and industrial switch?

Thanks in advance

I was required to send a back up of the robot ABB to add profinet option.

Thanks

Options are not included?

Then, why are options in a station when it is created from a back up?

And why is a back up required to add communication options to a robot?

Thanks for your response

Ok.

I didn't know there is that posibility.

Thank you.

Another doubt.

Is it possible to load a back up from a IRB120 to another IRB120?

I've heard that it's not possible because RW is liked to the exact serial of a robot.

That doubt is due to the possibility of doing a back up in a IRB120 with Profinet option and retart it in my IRB120 to have profinet option.

That's clear, but is there another option to work as master/slave without profinet board?

You talked about a card on PC like other option to work as master/slave.

Quote from Reboot

if you buy the profinet slave option it's just a software option and you choose which port to configure it on, normally I use lan 3.

otherwise the profinet master / slave is supplied with a card to be installed on the main computer. the GSDML file can be found in the robot disk

Thanks a lot.

I am not sure about what you mean with the card to be installed on the main computer.

Is there another profinet option to work as master/slave without Profinet board?

And does that option need a card to be installed on the main computer?

Hello,

I have a IRC5 Compact with a IRB120.

I would like to communicate both, but IRC5 has Ethernet/IP board, not Profinet.

It's supposed that if it's added Profinet option to RW, I could use IRB120 as slave.

I am thinking about to do it or not, because it supposes a cost.

If I would add Profinet option, is there any manual to communicate Siemens PLC and IRC5?

Which port would I have to use? Ethernet/IP port or another? I've read that LAN3 would be OK.

Would I have to add and use GSD file as well in TIA Portal? Which one?

Thanks in advance
