Hi, can you help me with this. How many differents communication protocols can use the cobot at the same time? I want to connect the cobot controller to jetson xavier and plc too. Is it possible to use modbus and profinet at the same time?. For example, Can I use RTDE, Profinet, Modbus at the same time?
thanks for all.
It’s fine to use RTDE, Profinet, and Modbus at the same time.
Note that all input registers except upper half of GP registers are claimed by Profinet.
That means that you’re free to subscribe to any output registers, but only GP bool 64-127, and int/float 24-47 can be used for input.
Modbus client can easily coexist, but note that on Polyscope 5 network is controlled by Profinet - PLC has to connect first for Modbus to start communicating.
On Polyscope X both interfaces are configured independently. Modbus client connects right away.
