Hello iggarciaulma; From what documentation I can find your Omron module supports only Ethernet/IP. The Siemens PLCs (and their Ethernet CPs) do not support Ethernet/IP natively. They support Profinet and Industrial Ethernet. These protocols exist on TCP/IP infrastructure, but the protocols are not compatible. If you need an analogy, imagine you make a phone call and someone answers the call. This mens you both share the same infrastructure. But if the person answers in Russian and you speak English, you will not understand each other: your protocols are not compatible. It will be impossible to have a meaningful conversation. One solution is to place a translator on the line to make you understand what the other correspondant is saying: in technical terms, this is called a gateway. Here are some examples of a gateway between Ethernet/IP and Siemens Ethernet (there are many more that you can find on the web): https://www.prosoft-technology.com/Landing-Pages/Launch/EtherNet-IP-to-PROFINET-R-IO-Device-Gateway https://industrial.softing.com/en/products/gateways/gateways-for-multi-protocol-process-control/ethernetip-to-profinet-gateway-with-controller-functionality.html https://www.anybus.com/products/gateway-index/anybus-xgateway Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
