Profinet IO (888-3) not allowing signal simulation in RobotStudio

pacijent

Hello to all, could you please help me with Profinet IO configuration and usage. Basically, after creating robot system, I have option of using Profinet Internal Device. I have created Profinet Industrial network and connected this internal device to Profinet Industrial Network. All this goes without errors after system restart. But when I try to simulate signals assigned to Profinet Internal Device I'm getting errors:

 "There is no contact with the I/O device PN_Internal_Device." and "The I/O device may have been deactivated. No power to the I/O device".  This is just simulation, not real controller and network?!

If I switch these signals to DSQC 652 and my simulation is working without troubles. Do you have any idea why I'm not able to simulate Profinet signals in RS simulation. Thanks in advance.

Try don't connecting it to Profinet Internal Device. Change your I/O to a empy device to make it "Virtual".
