Hello Ad_181; 2 poins you have to take into consideration for this project: 1. Modbus TCP is not a native protocol for s7 PLCs, Ethernet cmmunications is mostly done using Profinet (via the integrated profinet port of the CPU or a Ethernet CP 441-1, for example). Modbus TCP exchanges can be progranmmed over the Profinet port, either through Modbus TCP inctructions for the S7-1200 or s7-1500 PLCs or using Modbus TCP libraries that you must purchase for the S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs. Look at this FAQ, it describes the different libraries you can choose from for your project, and also shows the demo siftware you can download to try out the libraries in yoru program (the SF LED will be continuously OON as long as you do not purchase and install the license): https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ca/en/view/22660304 2. The Bently Nevada 3500 requires a 3500/92 communication gateway to establish Modbus TCP/IP communications, as described in this document: Once you have the correct software and hardware to establish the Modbus TCP connections in this project, some issues can still make the exchanges difficult to program. Here is a discussion that can give you some hints: Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
