Profinet Device 1.20.6 stay in Init

[lec]

I have a problem to run the Profinet Device 1.20.6

During one year I was using OPC UA for a communication with Siemens S7. This is a poor workaround solution using the system with V1.16.

Now I switched to V.1.20 and installed the last stable solution using:

X3_Systemimage_1.20.13 and DC-APP_Paket_1.20.9

• System Image installed with uSd Card
• Other App:
  • Ethercat Master 1.20.2
  • IDE 1.20.58
  • Motion 1.20.14
  • OPC UA Pub Sub 1.20.2
  • OPC UA Server 1.20.4
  • PLC 1.20.6
  • Profinet 1.20.6
  • Python 1.20.0
• My device is this one: XCS2-W0023ARN-02AX3T0NNET-S0402N2NNNN0NN
• With firmware FWA-XD1-AXS-V-0402N-NN-03.
• The XCS is connected to a XMD with EtherCAT.

Note that I have ten times such systems with valid Profinet Device Licenses.

I tried to install PROFINET Device PND-V-0120.6 again

I switch to Service Mode.

I installed PROFINET Device PND-V-0120.6

I clicked Install

I switch to Setup Mode to add Profinet device

I Added the device

In Setup Mode it is not possible to configure the device.

I selected Operating to configure the device

After a long time, the best I can get is

• For Profinet device: State: Init
• For the core: a Partially Operating state

Note that if in the Profinet Window, the state of the device is seen as Service, in the Scheduler page, it is seen as OPERATING

Not possible to configure the Profinet device

I can see the Profinet interface from PLC Engineering even if the Profinet device is in Init State

That is all.

If I delete the Profinet device, my ctrlX Core can switch to Operating again.

I tried many of manipulations found, for example:

Workaround

The priority of the motionHighPrep task must be set to priority 25 or lower in the scheduler configuration. For applied PROFINET configurations from older versions, the priority of the PROFINET task must be set to 24.

On my system motionHighPrep and profinet task where both to 24, I set motion to 25 and let Profinet to 24. Not better.

Workaround

A power cycle of the control system is required.

Not better.

Last try

I tried to remove all APP except PLC and Profinet, but with the same problem.

The complete document with images is as "Attach"

Conclusion: I do not know what to do to run the Profinet APP.

I made some more tests.

First I found by accident that the default IP address of the XF23/XF24 is 192.168.0.1 because it was in conflict with a S7 PLC.

• Not possible to see this IP Address in the system ?

Secondly: I made a try with only PLC APP and Profinet APP (and default X3_Systemimage_1.20.13), all disconected on my ctrlX DRIVEplus.

So I do not know where I could make an error, but it is still not possible to configure the Profinet APP (I made a test without PLC, but without PLC APP, there is not possible to have a Setup State to install the device...)

In attach, there is the backup of my system and the test I made on a Word document.

Let us do a teams meeting (I sent a private message to you). Hope we could identify the problem. Greetings Stefan

Problem was a missing firmware for the "PROFINET" hardware. After this update the problem was solved.
