Dear all I'd say the answer to rastus64's query is: In principle yes. To begin with, TIA Portal Step 7 Basic will only allow you to program/configure an S7-1200 PLC (which you are most likely aware of already). You can though configure an unspecified connectionin your 1200and use GET/PUT calls in the 1200to exchange data with the 400 without having to touch the 400 (which will act as a S7 communication based Server for the 1200's GET/PUT requests). For this to work properly though, you will need to know the 400's IP address and what data areas you want to read from/write too in it. If thisis allknown, then you will NOT have to touch the 400 and can do it all from the 1200 via TIA Portal Step 7 Basic and below are a few links with more info:. With which devices can the S7-1200 communicate via the integrated PROFINET interface and which protocols support the S7-1200? CPU-CPU communication with SIMATIC controllers (compendium) SIMATIC S7 S7-1200 Programmable controller(see especially chapter 10.5 for GET/PUT usage and S7 communication setup). Ethernet Communication: Data Exchange between S7-1200 and S7-300/400 (CE-X18) (it does unfortunately handle the GET/PUT's in the 400, but may help AndyHardy) I hope this helps |
