Settings

Here we explain the parameters that must be set and the settings files that are required in order to begin
communication between the host control device and the robot controller.
8.1

Communication parameter settings

The robot controller does not have parameters related to PROFINET unit communication.
Communication with the host control device (IO controller) requires network parameter settings such as IP
address, subnet mask, and station name.
All of these are set by the corresponding engineering tool (IO Supervisor).
Tasks such as viewing the network parameters and performing "Reset to factory setting" are also all performed
from the engineering tool. For details on how to use the engineering tool, refer to the manual of the device and
software you're using.
Network settings flow
■
If there is no topology setting for the host control device (IO controller), such as when the facility is being
started up:
With the robot controller and the engineering tool in a state where they can communicate with each other, specify the
IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and station name individually.
Also make the same settings for the host control device.
If you are replacing only one device within the network, such as when replacing a controller, and topology
settings have been made for the host control device (IO controller):
The network parameters that had been specified for the device before replacement can be automatically assigned by
PROFINET to the replacement device based on the address information of the peripheral device.
This means that in this case, there is no need to make communication settings.
CAUTION
Data of the robot controller other than network parameters is not passed on automatically.
Be sure to back up from the controller before replacing it, download this data to the controller following
replacement, and then connect the controller to the network.
