Modbus and ProfiNet at the same time possible?

[sya]

Hi @FrankBritten ,

This post gives you some info.

Start Profinet and Modbus on the same ethernet connection

Hi, I would like to know if it’s possible to to enable Profinet communication while a Modbus connection is already configure. More globally, if it’s possible to start multiple fielbus type connection. Thanks in advance,

But please pay attention to a difference that UR robots only act as “server” in Profinet but could be “client” or “server” in Modbus TCP so please be sure that you want the robot to be a server or client.

According to your description, I guess your robot should be a client to send requests to your stepper/ servo motor, right? If so, your robot cannot be a “client” when using Profinet protocol.

Thanks
