Setup Plc

Fieldbus setup information for SRCI in Siemens TIA portal.

This page only covers the integration of the Yaskawa robot controller fieldbus device in your PLC engineering tool.

For help on the usage of the SRCI PLC library, please contact the library vendor.

Supported boards

Yaskawa SRCI supports the following PROFINET boards:

board	data packet (byte)	driver	firmware
CP1616	254	-	v2.8
CP1616 PROFIsafe	254 (+ 8 PROFIsafe)	-	v2.8
INPACT	436	v3.0.30.9 (or newer)	-
CIFX	436	-	-

The driver version is displayed in the board settings of your Robot setup

Please only use the fieldbus files supplied by Yaskawa Europe.

Visit the download portal to download the latest fieldbus files for PROFINET.
