The leader in industrial automation and control solutions

Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with KUKA EtherNet/IP (Implicit Messaging). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

Supported Series: KR C4 COMPACT, KR C4 smallsize-2, KR C5

Assembly Instance Notes

Input: Set the device to read back the instance number of the input buffer under Assembly (0x04).

Output: Set the device to write the instance number of the output buffer under Assembly (0x04).

Size — Input: Set the device to read back the buffer size of the input buffer under Assembly (0x04).

Size — Output: Set the buffer size that the device writes to the output buffer under Assembly (0x04).

NOTE: Assume that the output will access the memory raw data = [00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09]

  • Output 0 → makeword [00 01] = 1
  • Output 1 → makeword [02 03] = 515
  • Output 2 → makeword [04 05] = 1029
  • Output_overflow 0 → makeword [00 01] = 1
  • Output_overflow 1 → makeword [01 02] = 258
  • Output_overflow 2 → makeword [02 03] = 515
