Trouble with PUT/GET communication from S7-400 to S7-1200

In my project I have an S7-400 PLC (414-3EM06-0AB0 firmware 6.0.3) for project reasons i have to communicate with an S7-1200 system. Since the S7-1200 will be programmed by another manufacturer communication has to be performed from the S7-400 with PUT/GET communication. Because the manufacturer does not want to implement any code for communication.

In the past I have set-up PUT/GET communication between S7-300 and S7-400 systems and always without any problem. But this time I cannot get it to work.

In order to test the communication before the actual S7-1200 from the manufacturing arrives. If have setup an S7-1200 (6ES7 214-1AG40-0XB0) in the same network.

S7-400: 192.168.201.165

S7-1200: 192.168.201.168

The S7-1200 is plugged in directly into the S7-400.

In the S7-1200 i have created two identical DB's without optimized access. DB200 is the DB where i will GET data with the S7-400. DB201 is the DB where i will PUT data with the S7-400. On the S7-1200 side i made a small program that increments an integer value in DB200.

On the S7-400 side I made a S7 Connection (adressing with IP) to the S7-1200. For the communicatio I am using SFB14 "GET" (version 1.0) with off course it's unique instance DB. I filled in the ID and the pointers to remote and local PLC. But when i run my program i keep getting Error code 2 on the PUT and GET.

Error code 2 according to the help is: "Negative acknowledgement from the partner device. The function cannot be executed."

So i would think S7-1200 is not capable of PUT/GET communication, but every documentation of the S7-1200 system says this is possible since FW2.0.

Any ideas?

Hello Tom,

Did you enable the PUT and GET in S7-1200?

Go to the properties of the CPU -> protection and here you can enable the possibility to use PUT and GET instructions from another partner.

Ok, that did the trick, it wasn't clear enough for me that scrolling down was required.

Big Thanks William!

Wizard is the one that gave the right answer.. he deserves the real credit.

I shared the picture because..
The first time I worked with PUT/GET on the S7-1200 FW4,
I missed the fact that scrolling down was needed - just like you said.

Next time it is your turn to help me out?!  (wink)
