ET200SP DeviceNet controlled by IRB

daguilar

Hi,

Has anybody tried to use a Siemens ET200SP DeviceNet as an external I/O module controlled by a Robot? 

I need an Analog Input and some Digital Inputs. My robot actually has DeviceNet, and I was thinking about the ET200SP but I'm not pretty sure about how to know the I/O mapping of the module...

Thanks,

We have several systems that the robot is part of a profibus network. The network also includes ET200 series stations...  Are you asking if the robot controller itself controls the ET200 station?

I am asking if its possible to use the Robot as the ET200 master and how could I know the IO mapping of the ET200 if there is no configuration file.
