Hi Berg, Two different PCS7 versions is more difficult. Normally, you can load on a client of project A, a server package from project B. The client is expanded with area's of project B and you can then control both projects. However, since you haven't got the same version, I ask you: is it possible to use a referred client on both systems? You create basically a copy of a client, but without an own project to worry about. It means you need maybe two...a referred client from project A which is available at project B location and a referred client from project B located at project A location. But this will cost you and you need extra space etc.. |

Well, If you want to have full control, then you must send all inputs and outputs through s7 connection...Can you imagine the communication load you will need? One APL block has like 40-60 inputs? If you want only a few variables, I wonder if this can work safely...because then you are missing some important variables maybe. Also, how will you handle structures? Maybe you can work something out with the Local mode option. This is normally used when you have a local HMI panel, which you use to control a motor. There is some logic behind this on how this operates. It is a separate mode like Automatic or Manual, so there is an indication that a motor for example is controlled somewhere else, which is also good to know for the operator behind the screen. PS. Local mode option is only available to APL blocks, not the classic library. |
