PLC setup (hardware configuration), with examples for Siemens TIA Portal. This is part of the YRCP-MP4P PROFINET quick start guide.
Allthough PROFINET is supported by many PLC vendors this quick start guide is limited to the setup of the YRCP-MP4P in Siemens TIA Portal.
GSDML files
Only use the GSDML files supplied by Yaskawa Europe.
- Download the latest files here .
- Unzip the files.
- Import the downloaded GSDML file into TIA Portal: menu Options » Manage general station description files (GSD)
Inserting the device
- Grab the YRCP-MP4P IO-device from the
hardware catalog:
YRCP-MP4P IO-device. - Assign the IO-controller by clicking on
Not assignedand assigning it to your CPU.
Device settings
The settings at device level are pretty straight forward. Adjust them to your needs.
The minimum IO cycle for the device is 1 ms:
IO sizes
For the available IO sizes, see Configurations in the
General section
.
The (optional) PROFIsafe IO has a fixed size of 8b.
- Double click on the robot icon to open the properties
- By default, the slave is configured with submodules for
32bregular IO and8bPROFIsafe IO:
Default IO setup.
In the next steps, we will show how to adjust the IO sizes.
For this, we need to open the submodules section in the hardware catalog:
Regular IO
In this example we will change the IO size from the default 32b to 128b.
- Select the
DIO_032submodule:
IO submodule selected. - Delete it.
IO submodule removed. - Now drag the desired submodule of e.g.
128bfrom the catalog into the emptied slot:
New IO submodule inserted.
Disable PROFIsafe
In this example we will disable PROFIsafe by removing its module from the configuration.
Execute these steps only if your robot controller is not using the (paid) PROFIsafe option.
- Select the
FDEV_1PROFIsafe module:
PROFIsafe module selected. - Delete it:
PROFIsafe module removed. - Without PROFIsafe, the slave no longer shows the red-yellow safety symbol in
the overview:
YRCP-MP4P IO-device without PROFIsafe.

Addressing
The IO addresses can easily be adjusted in the device overview:
PROFIsafe
If the optional PROFIsafe IO is used there are a few important settings to get things working.
Access the settings screen by double-clicking on the SDIO_008_PS26 PROFIsafe submodule:
Only the most important settings are described here. Refer to the full documentation for more details.
- F_Dest_Add
Adjust to your desire/numbering scheme. Make sure to set the same value in the robot setup. - F_iPar_CRC
Make sure to set this value to1.
