Hi, I’m trying to setup a UR5e to be able to run the SRCI program and communicate with a Siemens PLC. However when I set the IP, subnet and gateway, in my case 192.168.0.8 - 255.255.255.0 - 0.0.0.0 it changes it when I enable Profinet to 192.168.0.8 - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.0.8 - so it is mainly the gateway part that keeps changing back, this results in the UR being unreachable by the PLC - Ive tried changing it in both the teach pendant but it resets, and through Siemens Proneta, but it wont allow it.

How to proceed?

Hello Kristoffer

As far as I remember, this is a visual bug in Polyscope and it shouldn’t have any functional meaning. It should work still. 🙂
