Mrhuggy_d1thanks for answering my question, Exactly I want to read S120's parameters (speed, current, voltage, ....) via modbus controller but unfortunately this controller doesn't have profibus port, also my S120 doesn't have modbus, and that's why I'm using S7-1200 (with the communication extentions) as interface between them. If you can please guide me how to do it I would really appreciate that. Best regards Ali ALKARN

Look for FAQs on using the Modbus blocks on the s7-1200 and get communications established with your Modbus device. Look for S120 / S7-1200 blocks in S7-1200 / Portal V13 in the library. Use starter to commission your s120 and establish the telegram for your S7-1200 (this part I am not certain about since you are not controlling the s120 with the s7-1200 are you?). Once the PLC and S120 are communicating, you can simply copy / MOVE data from the received telegram to your Modbus datablock and now you are sending your drive parameters. Each piece is not too difficult and the above approach should get you pretty close without too much effort. You will want some kind of a heartbeat on the s7-1200 / Modbus connection so the receiving device can detect when the s7-1200 is communicating. |
