[ROB] Q&A - Can I add profinet to an RC7 robot controller?

Is it possible to add Profinet commuications to a Denso RC7 robot controller?

Answer

No, the RC7 controller is not compatible with Profinet. You would need to update to an RC8(A) controller.

However, you may be able to add Ethernet IP if your RC7 controller is an RC7M model with a ROM version of 2.9 or later

and Engine board 3 or later is installed. You can tell if you have engine board 3 or later by the images below.
