Unable to connect UR10 and UR10e to plc using profinet

Hello there,

My name is Toon and I am a student following the mechatronics education.
for my exam project I need to connect a universal robot to a plc (and more of course haha) but I seem to be unable to do that.

We have a UR10 (3.15.6) and a UR10e (5.11.10) on my school and i have both of them connected to a tp link in which are also my laptop and a 1214C dc/dc/dc are connected. Using proneta i can see that both of the cobots are reachable


but when i try to connect them with tia portals to my network, after having named them set their ip correctly. And after some tries i was able to connect one of the robots to the plc.

After which i copied and pasted that one and renamed it as to hopefully get the ur10 to work too. but from then on i have not been able to connect either of the robots again…

and it just keeps saying not reachable.

Is there any way to get a more detailed desciption of the problem from the robot or in tia portals (v17)?
