Profinet IO
Dear people,
I want to connect a barcode scanner to the PLCnext via a GSDML file. When I put the scanner in the Profinet folder in the engineering environment I got no error, but when I add input and output modules to it then an error pops up. The logfile definitely let me know there is something wrong, but I do not understand what is wrong. For example, I do not understand why there is an error about multiple IP addresses. Because on the moment when I scan the network without the barcode scanner in the network there is no device with IP 192.168.70.12.
With kind regards,
Bart Minten

Hello Bart,
63 CTLDINA 7 is a reserved or Device specific error code.
So It should be something wrong with the device or the config you set in the Engineer.
Because of that the PLC can not assign an IP to your device during start up or recognises it as a duplicate?
Maybe the Device is not recognised to already have the correct IP.
How did you scan the network for the IP?
Maybe there is a Switch or other PC that has this IP in the network?
It does not have to be a PN Device...
kind regards,
Oliver
Hello Oliver,
I can connect to the Barcode scanner via a Web interface. And I have changed the IP address to something else to be sure that the address is not used. But unfortunately the same error occurred. I have configured that the barcode scanner has a static IP and I am sure the IP I use is not in use by another device. So it seems to me that there is nothing wrong with the IP configuration.
Kind regards,

Hello Bart,
can you try configuring the Barcode Scanner not to have a Fixed IP?
In some devices I know this means disabling PN.
PN usually just works with a fixed name the IP should be coming from the PLC.
I guess that the barcode scanner is rejecting configuration completly because the PLC tries to set the IP.
kind regards,
Oliver
