Hello loading; What exactly are you looking for? Configuration of hardware and software for the networks? Sample programs? First, you mention a bus named Mclink; this network is totally unknown to me, and Google only finds an Itralian provider of web applications under the name Mc-Link. So I can provide no help for this part. Next, here is an article from Automation.com comparing Profibus and Modbus, to explain the basics http://www.automation.com/automation-news/article/profibus-and-modbus-a-comparison Also, you might find these articles from Wikipedia interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profibus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modbus For the next steps, you need to be a bit more explicit. Either you ask specific questions in relation to a definite project, or you can search for manuals and Application Examples on the forum (use the search box at the right of this page); for example: Simatic Net Profibus networks (mostly for the hardware section) SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 Loadable Driver for Point-to-Point CPs: MODBUS protocol, RTU format, S7 is master (requires a serial communication processor, CP 442-1). You can also look up the technical sites that support each network: Profibus.com and Modbus.org, they both have download areas with documentation covering the different protocols supported (Profibus-DP, Profibus-PA, Modbus RTU (serial), Modbus TCP). Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
