Hi, I have the following hardware:
Those devices are in a Profinet red. I attach the complete topology. What happens to me is that when I disconnect the ethernet cable of the HMI or the UPS, I have the LED alarm in the PLC. My question is: Is there a way to avoid having the LED alarm of the PLC on HMI or UPS disconnection? Thanks so much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hi Jherson Andrade Tenorio, you have defined the TP1200 Comfort and the UPS1600 as IO devices. Therefore, the PLC - acting as a PROFINET IO controller - wants to perform a cyclic data exchange with the devices. If this fails, the controller will report an error. You can avoid this by deactivating the IO device before unplugging it. This can be done with the "D_ACT_DP" instruction. First of all, it should be clear that the devices are to be used as IO devices. In most cases a TP1200 Comfort is not used as IO device because it has no buttons or LEDs that can be used by the PLC. For the UPS1600 some data exchange may be useful if the PLC needs to react to a power interruption. Kind regards |

Hi Stefan, I really thankul for your great support. I have a question about the D_ACT_DP instruction. If I deactivate the UPS permanently, if there a way to detect when it is unplugged or not in the PLC program? Let me tell you that I am not getting any data from the UPS via profinet. However, I want to have this UPS in the hardware configuration due to a customer standar requirement. Is it possible? |

Hello Jherson; The Sitop UPS 1600 is capable of using the Profinet network to send diagnostic data on its present status to the IO Controller it is linked to. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ca/en/view/84977415 "The battery status and various actual values, for example voltage and current, are output via the Ethernet/PROFINET and USB interfaces. Thanks to the integrated web server, remote diagnosis is also possible." So you could monitor the status of the UPS and determine if it is actually online or if the D_ACT_DP block is removing it from the IO controller's polling list. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
