I have created a Project on robotstudio using IRB660 robot and I was trying to load a EIO files I created. The eio file has two omron devicenet nodes tht I defined and declared inputs in it. But as soon as I loaded it on Robotstudio 5.13.01 it would load it but as soon as you restarted the machine, it would wouldnt reload and would get stuck in the undefined state. Please have a look at the EIO file creted. and also I have included the Robostudio project.

Try this: EIO\_UNIT: -Name “BOARD10” -UnitType “d652” -Bus “Virtual1” -DN\_Address 10 -Name “BOARD11” -UnitType “DN\_01” -Bus “Virtual1” -DN\_Address 11 -Name “BOARD12” -UnitType “DN\_02” -Bus “Virtual1” -DN\_Address 12 # ---

dit you cange to virtual bus system ? Try this: EIO\_UNIT: -Name “BOARD10” -UnitType “d652” -Bus “ **Virtual1** ” -DN\_Address 10 -Name “BOARD11” -UnitType “DN\_01” -Bus “ **Virtual1** ” -DN\_Address 11 -Name “BOARD12” -UnitType “DN\_02” -Bus “ **Virtual1** ” -DN\_Address 12 # ---

The problem is that the controller system lacks the “DeviceNet” RobotWare option. An alternative to Knuds solution above is to modify the system to include the DeviceNet option. When doing this, the station referencing the system must not be opened. **Important:** For the change to take effect, the system must be I-started, after the station is loaded next time. ---

Thank you Knud and Henrik for your responses. Could you let me know how I can change the system to include the devicenet without opening the station. Could you give me some steps on how I can change the system options. ---

1. Start RS 2. Go to Offline tab 3. Start System Builder 4. Point out your system 5. Select ‘Modify System’ 6. Add the DeviceNet option in the options list. 7. Open the station 8. I -start the system 9. Load the file EIO2.cfg 10. Warm-start the system → DONE! ---
