How to activate plcnext as a PROFINET controller?

good morning:

I am communicating plcnext with the sick brand gateway through profinet, I have already added the device and I have linked variables but the LEDs "BF-C" and "BF-D" are still blinking so I have not been able to establish profinet communication, The idea is that the plcnext is a controller and the sick gateway is a device, if I want to work in profinet, how do I activate profinet so that plcnext is a controller? I made this same application with a plc axc 1050 where I have the option to activate profinet controller for axc 1050 and the system worked at first without problems.

    Hello rodriguez_milton,

    the PN controller and PN device options are enabled by default for the PLCnext AXCF2152. Please give me more detailed information about:

    1. I have already added the device and I have linked variables but the LEDs "BF-C" and "BF-D"

    -> Is the device added into PN-Busconfiguration in PLCnext Engineer Project via GSDML-File?

    -> It is neccessary in your project to add the gateway device into PN-Network?

    -> If yes, could you provide me you PLCnext EngProject and gateway GSDML-File, if possible please?

    HI Eduard

     

    Regarding what you ask me and ask

     

    ->Is the device added into PN-Busconfiguration in PLCnext Engineer Project via GSDML-File?

                     yes, I added the team without complications

     

    -> It is neccessary in your project to add the gateway device into PN-Network?

                      Yes, because it is a gateway that carries all the instruments of the sick a profinet brand, they also bought plcnext precisely because it worked with profinet and also sent information to the cloud

     

    -> If yes, could you provide me you PLCnext EngProject and gateway GSDML-File, if possible please? 

                     I have uploaded images, the program and file used

     

    Thanks in advance for your answer
