3.1 Information about the Anybus device
General
To use the PROFINET anybus device, the IRC5 controller must be installed with
the option 840-3 PROFINET Anybus Device.
The PROFINET anybus device can be used to:
• connect the IRC5 controller to a PLC.
• connect the IRC5 controller to another IRC5 controller which acts as a
controller.
Predefined network
When the robot system is installed with the PROFINET anybus device, a predefined
Industrial Network with the name PROFINET_Anybus is created at system startup.
Predefined Internal Anybus Device
When the robot system is installed with the PROFINET anybus device, a predefined
Internal Anybus Device with the name PN_Internal_Anybus is created with the size
of 64 input bytes and 64 output bytes.
If another input or output size is required, the predefined device PN_Internal_Anybus
must be changed.
GSDML files
A GSDML file is available for the anybus device, matching the configuration of the
predefined internal anybus device.
The GSDML file, GSDML-V2.0-PNET-FA-20100510.xml, for the anybus device can
be obtained from the RobotStudio or the IRC5 controller.
• In the RobotWare installation folder in RobotStudio: ...\RobotPackages\
RobotWare_RPK_<version>\utility\service\ioconfig\PROFINET\
• On the IRC5 Controller: <SystemName>\PRODUCTS\
<RobotWare_xx.xx.xxxx>\utility\service\GSDML\
Note
Navigate to the RobotWare installation folder from the RobotStudio Add-Ins tab,
by right-clicking on the installed RobotWare version in the Add-Ins browser and
selecting Open Package Folder.
Template I/O configuration file
A template I/O configuration file is available for the PROFINET internal anybus
device, PN_Internal_Anybus. This file contain preconfigured names for all available
