9 PROFINET FANUC board

This chapter describes the PROFINET function of the FANUC PROFINET board.

9.1 OVERVIEW
The maximum number of digital I/O of I/O controller and I/O Device is total 8192 points. To increase the
number of points used, increase the number of digital I/O at the maximum number of control start. The
analog I/O of the I/O controller and I/O device is not supported.

The actual usable data size is calculated as below.

(Total input data of I/O controller and I/O device [byte]) + (Total output data of I/O controller and I/O
device [byte]) + {8 * (The number of submodules of I/O controller and I/O device)} < 800 bytes

Table 9.1(a) The number of I/O points and submodules

Number of submodules Number of input Number of output
2 3192 3192
16 2688 2688
36 2048 2048

If the value on the left side exceeds 512 bytes, please use Mainboard C (Force Sensor, High-speed
communication CPU, for IO-Link i slave).

The I/O controller function has the following restrictions.

1 The enabled / disabled state of the device is not restored when the power is restored.
2 PRIO-621 does not occur even when there is no communication with the device.
Check the connection status with the device on the Setting List Screen in Section 3.4.4. If necessary,
make sure that the device is connected by the I/O value of the device. For example, if a device is
connected, make sure that one point of the device's input signal is ON.
3 Appendix F HANDLING ALARM STORM is not supported.

9.4 PROFINET FANUC board firmware

There are three types of PROFINET FANUC board firmware: Boot, OS, and App, all of which must be
compatible with the robot controller software. For different versions, you need to update the firmware by
following the steps below.

NOTE
If mismatch the firmware version, PRIO-649 is displayed. Please update the firmware
following procedure when this alarm displayed.

The firmware is updated by a KAREL pnfbupdt.pc. Open the list screen with the SELECT key and
execute pnfbupdt.pc. When you press the MENU key to open the user screen, the following screen is
displayed. Press the key 1 to update, or press other key not to update. If you press the key 1, it will be
updated to the version displayed on the screen.

NOTE
Depending on the firmware version, the following message may be displayed after
updating the App when run pnfbupdt.pc. Only if you see this message, turn off the
power and then run pnfbupdt.pc again in the same way.

9.5 GSDML
GSDML file is used by the configuration software. The GSDML file contains information about the
device as a PROFINET device. When setting the I/O controller that communicates with the robot
controller, read the GSDML file into the I/O controller setting software and use it. FANUC provides the
GSDML file.

9.6 INPUT SIGNALS AT COMMUNICATION FAILURE

If I/O Device communication failes, “PRIO-621 PNIO(D) device is not running” shows up.
Input signals of I/O Device are cleared if IOPS = BAD, at power up and when the connection is lost.
IF I/O Controller communication failes, “PRIO-622 PNIO(C) controller is not running” shows up.
Input signals of I/O Controller are cleared if IOPS = BAD, at power up and when the connection is lost.

10 SETUP PROFINET FANUC board

10.1 OVERVIEW
This section describes the procedure for setting the PROFINET FANUC board.

1 Create the configuration files required for PROFINET network settings and copy them to the
FR:¥pnfb directory of the robot controller. Please refer to 10.5 for details. Set the IP address and
device name of PROFINET. You can use a Siemens configuration tool (TIA Portal, PRONETA) to
set the IP address and device name. Please refer to 10.6 for details. When performing this work,
switch the start mode to STOP in order to stop the PROFINET board.
2 Set Enable/Disable of I-Device and I/O Controller on the Setup General Screen.
3 Set the number of I/O points on the Setup I-Device Screen and the Setup I/O Controller Screen.
4 Restart the robot controller.
5 Check I/O assignment of PROFINET. If it does not connect, change the I/O assignment and restart
the robot controller.
6 Switch start mode STOP to RUN on the Setup General Screen.

WARNING
Changing start mode to RUN, the PROFINET input/output signals of the robot
controller activates. Please verify I/O assignment of the robot controller is done
and correct before changing the start up mode to RUN. Please verify the safety is
assured and make sure if it is safe to start PROFINET I/O data exchange before
changing the start up mode to RUN.

7 Changing start mode to RUN, the configuration files are installed from the FR:¥pnfb of the robot
controller to PROFINET board. If the configuration files are not found in the FR:¥pnfb directory,
upload the configuration file currently loaded on the PROFINET board to the FR:¥pnfb directory.
8 If there are any errors, check the configuration created by the configuration tool to fix the error. To
download configuration again, and change the start up mode to STOP.
9 If there is no error, check PROFINET I/O data exchange.
10 Do additional setting to the configuration read in from PROFINET board.
11 Turn off the robot controller.
12 The additional setting will be activated at next power up.

10.5.3 Creating tic.zip

tic.zip is a configuration file required for I/O controller communication. Create it using PLCnext Engineer
(*1), ZIP-compress the created file with the name tic.zip, and copy it to the FR:¥pnfb directory. The
tic.zip in the FR:¥pnfb directory is loaded into the PROFINET FANUC board when communication starts.
The procedure for creating tic.zip is explained below.

1 Start PLCnext Engineer, and select “Create a new project”.

2 Read the .fdcml file with “File Import Import FDCML 3.0 device description …”
The .fdcml file can be obtained from FANUC.
3 Read the .gsdml file of device I/O Controller communication with “File Import Import
GSDML file …” (Obtain the .gsdml file from the device manufacturer).
4 “Component” window and drag
and drop it into the “Plant” window to add the SW IOC.
5 Select modules from “Network local Devices I/O Interface modules” in the “Component”
window and drag and drop it into the “Plant” window to add the modules.
6 Additional parameter settings may be required depending on the device used. The Siemens ET200SP
requires the base module (light or dark) setting, so double-click the added module and set it from the
Parameter tab.
7 -ioc-1.tic, as many .tic as
the number of added devices will be created (*2). ZIP-compress all of this with the name tic.zip.

(*1) PLCnext Engineer can be downloaded free from the PHOENIX CONTACT website.

10.5.4 Creating dev_config.dt

dev_config.dt contains device information (device name, station ID, etc.) for I/O controller
communication. Create a dev_config.dt with any text editor, and change the extension to .dt.
dev_config.dt copying to FR:¥pnfb¥ directory, read at power up and update the robot controller
setting. The following explains how to create dev_config.dt.

The version number is written on the first line. The version is 1.1. Enter the device information on the
second and subsequent lines. When entering device information, enter it in the format "slot [slot number].
Element = x". You can use slot numbers from 1 to 25. Use the elements in Table 10.5.4 (a) to specify the
device name, station ID, etc.

ver : 1.1
slot[1].name = dev01
slot[1].station_id = 201
slot[1].di_byte = 2
slot[1].do_byte = 2
slot[1].alias = device_1
slot[2].name = dev02
slot[2].station_id = 202
slot[2].di_byte = 2
slot[2].do_byte = 2
slot[2].alias = device_2

Table 10.5.4(a) Elements used in the dev_config.dt

Elment Description
name Specify the device name. Up to 59 characters. (Cannot be duplicated)
station_id Specify the station ID. (Cannot be duplicated)
di_byte Specify the number of DI points to be assigned to the device in bytes (8 points).
do_byte Specify the number of DO points to be assigned to the device in bytes (8 points).
alias Specify any character string to be displayed instead of the device name.

Check if the device name described in the .tic file is in dev_config.dt at the start of communication. If
the .tic file matches the device name listed in dev_config.dt, the I/O data for that device is copied between
the DI/DO in the slot of the station ID.
As an example above, if the device name dev01 in dev_config.dt matches that in the .tic file, copy the
input / output data (2 bytes / 2 bytes) on device dev01 between the DI/DO in slot 201.

NOTE
When specifying the device name, station ID, etc., the data cannot be read
correctly unless a space is entered before and after the =. In this case, the alarm
PRIO-721 "PNIO: dev_config.dt read failure (line:%d)" indicating a syntax error is
displayed. PRIO-721 will be displayed even if there is a blank line, so do not
insert unnecessary line breaks.
