Hi, 

The Ethernet X ports of CPU 1200 are Auto-crossover (Pharagraph 11.2.9 of CPU manual), so you should be able to connect direct to the standard port of Sentron PAC 3200 by a normal or a crossed ethernet cable.

Hope this help.

If helps, ratings and thanks are appreciated.

 Hello,

lucavanzin

The Ethernet X ports of CPU 1200 are Auto-crossover (Pharagraph 11.2.9 of CPU manual)

So it's not a problem of a cable.
One additional infomation, I have tried to assign a name to the Sentron PAC3200 (from it's standard ethernet port) but it doesn't even appear on the accessible devices.
Now I become more certain that it needs the Switched Ethernet PROFINET expansion module to connect it with plc.
If any one suceed to connect the Sentron Pac3200 with a plc without using the Switched Ethernet PROFINET expansion module please tel me how.

Best regards.

I succefful Linked a PAC3200 to a S7-1200 reading its modbus TCP, but I wrote my custom FB.

Otherwise:

How did you connect your IDE, PLC and PAC3200?

It should be good to have a topology of your net setup.

On other hand, check IP and  subnet mask.

What is your programming environment?

Did you add a subnet?

Do you have HSP files updated?

See attached image to see where to find sentron pac

Best regards

Through this link you should be able to download Hardware support packages for your tia (if you are using that).

You can install HSP from TIA going to Tools, support packages.

Sorry but my interface language is italian, can't write literally english labels, but is simple.

Hope this help.

brast regards,

Luca.

 Would you please tell me which ethernet port of the Sentron did you use to connect it to the PLC?

Is it the standard port (X3 FOR LAN ONLY).

or

The port of the Switched Ethernet PROFINET expansion module.

please confirm that for me...

Because I've tried many solution but no respond from the sentron.

I've also installed the HSP from the link you gaved me, but no change. From the menu I have configured the IP address and the subnet but I still can't assign a name for the sentron because it doesn't appear on serch device window.

The only component recognized in tia portal is 7KM9300-0AE01-0AA0 PLUG-IN COMMUNICATIONS MODULE SWITCHED ETHERNET PROFINET, so this is the expansion module.

I think only if you use this module that support PROFINET I/O protocol you can integrate natively your device in TIA portal.

I Used X3 port that support only SEABus TCP and ModBUS TCP.

I didn't configured and integrate PAC3200 inside my TIA project.

I simply configured IP, Subnet mask and Protocol by switch button of PAC and then add a ModBUS TCP client properly configured in S7-1200 CPU program. That worked as a glance.

If you want to integrate and configure your PAC3200 in Tia portal I think there is no other way than use the expansion mpodule above mentioned.

Hi lucavanzin, 

 
Thank you so much for your answers, now I'm waiting for the expansion module to try this communication.
I will get back with a positiv result as soon as possible.

Regards.
