Industrial Network Public / PROFINET

Hello everybody,


I have the following problem. I have a setup consisting of a PLC Siemens 1200, an ABB IRB1200 Robot and PC with WinCC running on it and the software for a 3D Camera from Solomon. The PC has to communicate to the PLC for the SCADA system and also with the Robot for the Socket Communication to retrieve the data from the camera. Also, the Robot has to cummunicate with the PLC for change of signals and witht the PC for obtaining the pick point values. The issue is that the type of Connection for the PLC-Robot communication works when it's set to PROFINET Network and for the PC-Robot works when it's set to Public Network. The port that I use is LAN3 for the Robot. I was wandering if anyone has any idea of how this situation could be solved so that all the devices will communicated between them appropriate. Thank you for your help!

  • You can use profinet on the Public/WAN port if that's what your asking.

    Hello and thank you for your reply,

    I came with an idea recently. The IRC5 controller came with the Profinet but also with the Profinet Anybus, so I was thinking that I could let the Robot-PC connection on Profinet be made on LAN3 port with the IP 192.168.0.6 and the Robot-PLC connection on Profinet Anybus to be made on the WAN port with the IP 192.168.0.7. Does this sound feasible or not?
