Getting Started

Follow these pages in order to go from an unconnected Control Unit to a PLC that is exchanging live data with the Robot.

  1. Connect Profinet to the Robot — the physical connection.
  2. TIA Portal Setup — import the GSDML, add the device to the project, assign its Profinet device name, and confirm data is flowing.
  3. TIA Demo Project — optional: a ready-made project with an HMI to explore what the interface can do.

Along the way you will need two tasks from the How-to Guides: importing the .udt datatypes and importing the function block.

note

TIA Portal menu paths are given in their English wording so they stay unambiguous regardless of the language your TIA Portal installation runs in.
