Hello Salman; WinCC supports Modbus/TCP since version 7.0, to my knowledge, as a client, so it should be able to interrogate a Modbus/TCP server (a.k.a. "slave") such as your Eurotherm recorder. Now, if you get this communication running, what exactly do you want to collect as data from the recorder? Below is a screenshot from the Eurotherm 6100E paperless recorder registers for channel 1. If you examine it, you will find you have one data register for the actual value of the process (at offset 1433 of the Modbus Function 3), the other values are status and alarm information for the channel. If that is what you were expecting, follow the following documents and links to understand how to setup the Modbus TCP channel in WinCC and how to request the registers you want to read from the recorder. 6100E Paperless Graphic Recorders User Guide - Eurotherm SIMATIC HMI WinCC V7.2 - WinCC: Communication Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
