The protocol seems to be AS511. Normally I am using Step5 for this purpose,using RS232, but is not an automatic way. The Sinumerik have a S5-115U PLC. Thanks in advance.

To gain access to the plc you must change the setting data for the port. go to SETTING DATA and then page right I think to SETTING BITS 5010 00000100 5011 11000111 5013 11000111 Go to the DATA INPUT page and you will see interface 1 is assigned to PLC_PROG. Press DATA START and you can now use the first RS232 port as a plc programming port. Have Fun Shanny

I personally have only seen this book in the Siemens office at Moorenbrunn and you are right the commands can be written in C or anything really. Your only problem is to get hold of the command format. Siemens make a lot of money selling software packages to do what you want to do directly. Another possibility isto write the data to R parameters and send the R parameters out of the RS232 port. The RS232 port can be controlled from the plc on the GA3. shanny

swilly Posts: 52 Rating: (4)	Dear Shanny, I found in internet a description of the AS511 protocol. I implemented it in C# and is working Ok in standard PLC (S5-95U), but is not working for Sinumerik S5 PLC. I don't know the reason why. From STEP5 I can connect to both, I mean the data bits are Ok and the cable is Ok. I have WinCC Flexible Runtime application running in a PC, andI can't connect with Sinumerik neither. It seems to be that Sinumerik PLC have anspecial AS511 protocol not included in WinCC Flexible. I will try with reverseengineering (port monitoring) of the Step5 comunication. About R Parameters,is other way, but I need to know the option bit that enables the Transfer of NC Datafrom/to PLC (FB61 and FB62). Do you know which bit is? Thanks a lot.
