Problems with ABB Robots Connectivity Plugin

General Questions
1

Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

I have simulated a real robot cell in Visual Components as part of a student project. It works perfectly.

The next step is to convert the program into RobotStudio and finally control the real robots with the program logic from VC. We proceeded exactly according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BXGhO0YB6w&t=2s .

The only difference is that I have 2 robots and 2 controllers and 2 conveyors. However, when I simulate the program in RobotStudio, many inputs and outputs are not recognized or not controlled.

What could be the reason for this?

Furthermore, I have the question whether it is correct that the two controllers in RobotStudio have the same URL (see picture)? If not, how can this be changed?

Hard to really tell what’s wrong without taking a look at your RS/VC-projects but it kinda sounds like there’s something wrong with your linked variables. As for the local IP for both robots, not an issue. I’ve built a model in the past with three robots that are all controlled by a PLC via PROFINET, all using the same IP address etc.
