Hello David; It seems that US robots (at least some of them, you will have to check the requirements in the file below) can be setup as Profinet I/O devices: https://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/profinet-guide-20596/ Since the S7-1500 CPU handle Profinet natively and can easily be setup as Profinet IO Controllers as you can see in the example file it should ne quite easy to connect all 3 systems together. Profinet is a multi-controller network, so more than one controller can establish a connection to an IO Device. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello David; Each of the CPUs will have its own project, and act as a IO controller over Profinet. The IO device (your robot) can then be configured as a Shared IO Device so it can answer to each IO controller independantly. See the following article from the Profinet University site as an introduction: https://profinetuniversity.com/profinet-features/profinet-shared-device/ And look at this document from Siemens for technical details: How, in STEP 7 (TIA Portal), do you configure access to a shared device and the function Module-internal Shared Input / Shared Output (MSI /MSO)? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/109736536 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
