Profinet to control robot outputs

matthewd92

Has anyone done a project using Profinet to control the physical outputs of the robot?  We want to be able to turn on an air cylinder with the PLC program instead of the robot program.  We are using a Siemens S7-1200F fail safe PLC and have triggered %Q13.0 to turn on.  I can see in the profinet data that it is on, the right integer value exists in the data type for that address, but nothing happens at the robot.  We have a lot of integer, boolean and register values that we are setting on the robot from the PLC so that is working.  Not sure if we are doing something wrong or if this feature just isn't working right now.

We are running Polyscope 3.5.4 currently.

Here is a screen shot of the data type being populated, address came from the catalog addressing that TIA gave me for catalog 8



I got the address to use for the start of the catalog from here (just like I use for all the other inputs and outputs that are working)



Thanks,
Matt
