Gents,

I'm trying to establish communication between S7-314C-2 PN/DP and KUKA KRC4 robot on Profinet IO system (to exchange some bits between those two)

I've inserted KUKA on my profinet network in HW config, assigned it valid name and IP address.

On KUKA side I've setup connection (as far as I can tell in the right way-I'm not a robot speciallist) and did mapping of IOs according to KUKA manual, but still can not get communication.

I can ping robot and PLC from my computer.

I can also see KUKA robot as accesible node in simatic manager and verify device name in HW config but still get "Conflict: RPC error mesage (16#1C010003)" in module information diagnostic.

Please see attached print screens.

Can anyone push me in right direction?

Can it be an issue that this KUKA robot acts as profinet master for some remote IO stations and I try to have it as Profinet slave for my S7-300?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need work visual to configure the network interface between the robot and S7300.

It's a Kuka's software. Each Robot has a CD with this software to be installed.

Best regards

Hello Dias,

Thanks for reply.

I did configuration of Kuka in work visual, as I found in Kuka manuall, but something has to be missing, as I get what I have shown... :(

I found problem in Kuka software settings, communication is running now.

Case closed.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

All Siemens settings were correct.

As I said it was setting in Kuka robot software called "work visual" - in profinet setting I had to set Kuka robot as device by choosing option "Activate PROFINET device stack". This allowed me to do mapping of IOs.
