We have a problem with our URIOdev and modules that are not reachable. We have followed universal robots profinet guide and also some tutorials from this forum.
Hello,
have you added a connection on the topology view, also? I had the same problem and then I added the connection in topologi view and the problem is solved.
Hi,
Try rebooting the robot after changing its IP address , the topologic view of tia portal´isn´t neeeded.
I had this problem and i went mad until i thought of just rebooting the robot ,as soon as it powered on , PLC turned green , i am not sure if it wa sluck or maybe that UR doesn´t relaly change the address until it reboots .
The 1215 PLC has 2 profinet input so there wasn’t a need to use a router.
I have no idea how but after leaving the robot alone over night and starting it up now it suddenly seems to work.
Thanks for the advice even if it seemingly wasn’t nececary
You cannot control the robots motion directly from profinet. You would have to create a program running on the robot that behaves as a data consumer, retrieving joint coordinates or cartesian positional information from the PLC, doing the appropriate handshaking with the PLC to know when it has valid data to make a move, telling PLC when it is done with a move, etc. This could be done using user-defined registers such as booleans/integers/floats (we call them General Purpose registers within UR documentation).
Hey there BBA,
I understand how to use the user-defined booleans/integers/floats.
I don’t quite understand however how i can get the Robot to use the information from the booleans to move it’s joints.
