Hello kingkay, I never did it myself but there are several possibilities for the communication with third party PLCs. But first of all why are you thinking about using PROFINET to communicate between both PLCs? Or do you mean Ethernet? If you were thinking about the I Device functionality of PROFINET this is not tested and not released for PCS 7 but it should technically work. Another Method to communicate between two PLCs over PROFINET is the PN/PN Coupler (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109749637) but this device is also not tested and not released for PCS 7. But that's it for PROFINET as far as I know. The standard way to communicate with third party PLCs in PCS 7 is Modbus PtP and Modbus TCP. Here two application examples: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/75867147 https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/61586633 And further ways would be Open User Communication (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109747710) or AG_Send/RECV (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/8707570) (both probably not tested/released for PCS 7) |
