Hi Hewking Are you sure this is the correct MLFB No. I was searching in Support and could only find these MLFBs which are similar but not same : 6GT2 005-0AA10 6GT2 005-0BA00 6GT2 005-0CA10 In generall as long the unit can communicate with a PC, it can communicate with a PLC. The Exact PLC hardware would need to be selected, based on the Communication Port avaible on the unit Hope this helps Cheers Navnag |

More info about protocols which are supported by 6GT2-005-0BA00 might find at Siemens RFID Selection Guide Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

Hi Hewking There are several options by which you can interface serial devives with S7 PLCs. In S7-200 - Onboard Serial Port ( If required using a RS485 to RS232 Convertor ) In S7-300 - you can use CP340 / CP 341 Communication processors with appropriate Port type ( RS232 / TTY / RS485 / RS422 ) and protocol CP340 : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/24283637/133300 CP341: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/24284824/133300 In ET200S CPUs ( IM151-7 / IM151-8 ) you can use 1SI Serial Communication Modules 1SI : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/10805265/133200 In S7-1200 - you can use CM1241 - Communication modules http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/41886038/133200 There are manySample programs / Application Examples available for RFID integration into PLC, which may help you : S7-200 : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/38471524 S7 300/400 : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/23626344 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/63969277 S7-1200 : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/38471716 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/46476563 Hope this helps Cheers Navnag |

Hi Hewking There should not be any issue in making a cable yourself as long you take care of the following : a) Use Good Quality connectors with Shielding covers. b) Use a Screened cable with Screen Connected at both ends to casing. b) Preferably use Twisted pairs for RA-RB & TA-TB c) Solder Terminating resistor if cable length > 50 meters d) Last but not the least, Good Soldering is essential. I have attached extract of a typical RS422 cable for CP-340. You need to change the Terminal Pin Nos. ar SIM end as per SIM side Pin Details.

Hi Hewking Can you attach the Manual Extract giving pin details of 6GT2-005-0BA10 ? I had searched but could only locate the manual for 6GT2-005-0BA00. ( Extract attached ) From what I can make out ( Assuming Pin Details are same ): a) The 25 Pin connector is being used for several functions including RS422 Communication. b) You would need to make 2 cables with a Junction box in betweeen. c) Since the Unit supports RS422, Which is 4-Wire , while CP340 supports 2 Wire ( Rs485 ) or 4 Wire ( RS485/RS422 ). For Compatibility, you need to configure and wire the CP340 also in 4-wire mode. d) As far as I can make out Connenctions should be as follows : CP340 ( RS422 ) S6GT2-005-0BA10 (15 Pin Plug) ( 25 Pin Plug ) 2 (TA) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (E-) 7 9 (TB) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (E+) 2 4 (RA) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (D-) 5 11 (RB) -------------------------------------------------------------------- (D+) 3 8 (GND ) -----------------------------------------------------------------( GND ) Casing ------------------------ Screen ----------------------- Casing Short Pins E+ to R+ and E- to R- - If Terminating Resistor required ( Cable Length > 50m ) e) Seperate 24VDC Power supply would be required ( WIred through the JB ) As correctly pointed out by you Pin-13 -> +24VDC , Pin-14 -> 0VDC f)Digital Inputs need to be wired to a Prox. Sw. only if you are using MDS Control ( If selected using Pin 24 / Pin-25 ) g) Pins 18-23for Baud Rate settings etc, to be wired as required Communication parameters should match in CP340 I'm afraid, this is the easy part. Getting the unit to communicate with a S7-300 using a CP-340 is a lot of work if you are doing it the first time. Good Luck Cheers Navnag Attachment6GT2-005-0BA00.pdf (496 Downloads) |
