Hi Mehdi,

Not that I have tried it, but I believe you would need to use the MB_SERVER block in the 1200 cpu and then you can connect to the 1200 cpu via the Modbus driver.

See the following FAQ about MB_SERVER:

How do you program and parameterize Modbus TCP communication between two S7-1200 CPUs?
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/83130159

But is there reason why you cannot use normal S7-communication?

Both protocols are ethernet based, so if one can be used, then the other should be able to work also.

Hello,

Connection to S7-1200 via Modbus TCP is possible. To get a tutorial please see youtube video on:

In addition you will find more precise information in S7-1200 system manual (you can download). It is not easy to explain it in some sentences, so please take a look to youtube video mentioned above.

Best regards

Georg

Thank you

I want to connect to the WinCC and the PLC S7-1200 through Modbus TCP/IP.But These links about the relationship between the two PLCs through Modbus TCP/IP.

I do it with S7-connection.But my customer wants to do it with Modbus.

Sincerely,
