ABB IRC5 Communication with Fronius through Anybus M40

Hi

I am currently working with a IRC5 connected to a Fronius TPSi through the Anybus M40 module supplied by Fronius. 
The Fronius module keeps saying that it is not connected on the IRC5 Teach pendant. I assume that I have the wrong configuration file loaded. 
Can someone please assist me with the connection settings.

Kind Regards
Morne

  • Hi 

    Just to add the correct information, the robot controller is a IRB 2600, Welding power pack is a TPSi400 and the Anybus module code is ABCC-M40-PIR V.1.33

    Kind Regards

  • What communication protocol is this (EthernetIP, DeviceNet, Profinet)?

    Profinet Protocol


  • So far we have been using the above software to create a IPPNIO.xml file to load onto the robot, but with no progress.

    Sorry I will not be much help have only done one system with Profinet.

    Just to cover the basics you need the controller/device option on the IRC5 - do you have this?

    Do you have a copy of the ABB application manual for the Profinet option?

  • We have currently connect to the Profinet network through a Phoenix contact FL Switch SFN 5TX. Through this we have communications to the PLC, and to the Anybus module, but not to the Fronius TPS400
