IRC5 Robot controller communication with PLC through Profibus-DP gateway

Mathew

Hi,

I am trying to connect the IRC5 controller to Siemens PLS through Profibus - DP gateway (DSQC 352A card).

The following has been defined in the EIO.Config files:

EIO_BUS: -Name "DeviceNet1" -BusType "DNET" -ConnectorID "PCI1"\ -ConnectorLabel "First DeviceNet"

EIO_UNIT_TYPE:

-Name "d352A" -BusType "DNET" -VendorName "ABB Robotics"\ -ProductName "PBUS Adapter" -DN_VendorId 75 -DN_ProductCode 8\ -DN_DeviceType 7 -DN_MajorRev 1 -DN_ExplicitMsgEnabled -DN_C1Type "COS"\ -DN_C1OutputSize 8 -DN_C1InputSize 8EIO_UNIT: -Name "Profibus_Gateway" -UnitType "d352A" -Bus "DeviceNet1"\ -DN_Address 10 #EIO_COMMAND_TYPE: -Name "MasterInputSize" -UnitType "d352A" -DefValue "8" -OrderNr 1\ -DN_Path "6,20 67 24 01 30 02,C6,1" -DN_Service 16-Name "MasterOutputSize" -UnitType "d352A" -DefValue "8" -OrderNr 2\ -DN_Path "6,20 67 24 01 30 03,C6,1" -DN_Service 16-Name "StationAddress" -UnitType "d352A" -DefValue "10" -OrderNr 3\ -DN_Path "6,20 67 24 01 30 04,C6,1" -DN_Service 16 -Name "D352Areset" -UnitType "d352A" -DefValue "0" -OrderNr 4\ -DN_Path "4,20 01 24 01,C1,1" -DN_Service 5
The Power LED is lit Green when connected which shows the power is connected to the DSQC 352A card. As per the Address pin from the factory I have set the SN Address as 10. Also the station address has been set as 10 to communicate with external PLC.After doing all this Iam still not able to establish the connection between the controller and the Gateway card.There is an error log coming as "No unit connected to the Devicenet1 bus" error no: 71311.Can anybody advise where the problem is.Thanks for the help.
regards,Mathew
