Many technicians have the following problems. In fact, aside from the communication methods defined by manufacturers, the most common reasons for communication failure in projects can be summarized as follows: Have you selected the correct communication protocol (Modbus, RS232 free protocol, CANopen, EtherCAT)? Is the communication cable properly made ( RS232 RXD TXD GND RS485 … Read more
Communication Between S7-300/400 and SINAMICS S120 via DP Bus 1. Overview of DP Bus Communication Functionality S7-300/400 can communicate with SINAMICS S120 via DP bus for both periodic and non-periodic data communication. Using standard S7 function blocks SFC14/SFC15, the S7-300/400 PLC can send Control Word 1 (CTW1) and Main Set Value (NSETP_B) to the drive … Read more
