Keyence CV-X Controller and Siemens S7-1500
All,
I am using Keyence CV-X422A vision controller for my application. It is interfaced with Siemens S7-1500 PLC on PROFINET. I am able to communicate with Vision controller through PLC logic command and status IOs.
There is some communication issue in updating the o/p values from Camera Controller. I have tried with & w/o Handshake Mode with these settings. The camera display shows the reject but camera never turns ON the NG Status o/p.
I tried different things told by Keyence Tech support but none of them worked.
He told me to have you enable the “Result ACK Flag” in the bit allocation area and send a signal to it. Then trigger it again with a no good part and see if that fixes the issue.
I tried setting the “Result ACK Flag” to 1 after I get the “Command Complete Flag” for the trigger signal that I sent. Sometimes this works but still it is not reliable. Do I need to send only a pulse to “Result ACK Flag”?
Anyone here has ever faced similar issue?
Thanks for your help.

ANYONE WITH S120 EXPERIENCE AND SINA_POSE FB
Hi! I'm cirrently developing a project using a S120 with CU320 controlling a 2 axis system. I have some question on how exactly the silple positioning works. I use SINA_POSE FB with telegram 111. My questions:
1. Where exactly this FB must be placed. Since cyclic communication It must be placed only on OB1.
2. To start a MDI command a position, velocity, acceleration and deceleration are sent to the drive. Than the execute command start the job. The execute command can follow the position and other parameters or it need to wait some cofermation bit coming from the drive that it has received the parameters correctly? Do you wait for some time?
3. Wich is the best practice to evaluate that the position requested is effectively reached. The FB has a InPosition BIT that goes off during travel and back on at the and... is this BIT the only one thing to watch?
4. How much time the drive needs to wait before acceping another MDI?

Saving analog readings to PC
Good morning.
I have an S7-400H connected to 13 pressure transmitters.
I need to read the 13 values for short periods of time (less than a minute) at a frequency of 5 times per second at least, and then save them to a PC (in order to transfer them to Microsoft Excel).
This operation is very simple with TIA Portal, thanks to the straightforward Data Logging instructions. Unfortunately, S7-400H only works with Simatic Manager which makes the task way harder, judging from the information I found on the internet. What do you think is the simplest procedure to do that?
Another option would be to simply just receive the 13 values to my PC via Modbus and save them using a logging software (PLC Logger seems appropriate). In fact, the PLC is already configured to constantly send the 13 values via Modbus, but the frequency is currently low: less than 2 times per second. Is it possible to increase that frequency?
(Baudrate is currently set to 19200 bps. For my application I only need 16x13x5 = 1040 bps, so theoretically I am not asking too much performance).
Thanks a lot to anyone will help.
Have a nice day.

RS232 Communication With ET200S SI Module
My issue is trying to receive data from a Datalogic PM9500 barcode scanner onto a Siemens ET200S (IM151-8 PN/DP) CPU using a serial interface card (6ES7 131-4BD01-0AB0) with the ASCII Protocol.
The software that I'm using to program the PLC is TIA Portal V14. I made use of the built-in function block S_RCV to try and receive the data into a data block that I have created. I connected the Datalogic's base charger unit directly into the PLC's SI module. (I cut the DB9 plug off) So, Pin 5 (RXD) of the SI module is connected to the Tx wire (Brown) of the scanner, the Tx is also connected, as well as the ground, to the SI module, however, I only require the Rx. There is no flow control.
Upon scanning a barcode, the Rx LED on the SI card flashes, indicating that something was received. I have tested the scanner using a terminal program called "Hercules", and I am receiving what I should be when I scan something.
The parameters such as Parity, Stop Bits, and Baud Rate, etc, of the scanner corresponds to that of the SI module as well.
I paramatized the S_RCV block as follows:
1.) EN_R is always ON.
2.) R is defaulted to the instance DB that was created with the function block's tag.
3.) LADDR is set to "100" as that is the start address of my SI Module as defined in the device configuration.
4.) DB_NO is set to "2" as it is the number of the data block I created for storing the received data.
5.) DBB_NO is set to "0", which I understand to be the data blocks offset start point from where to start inputting the data.
The rest of the NDR, ERROR, LEN, and STATUS outputs of the function block are also defaulted to the instance DB tags. I only want to see if I'm receiving the data from the barcode scanner into the datablock.
I created an array of bytes and I also tried with characters from 0 to 30 to store the data. As I mentioned, the problem comes when I'm trying to scan something, the RX LED on the SI module pulses, but when I monitor for any changes in the Function Block, as well as for any changes in the Datablock itself, nothing happens at all.
I don't know what If I'm missing something, this has been bugging me for some time now, I'm quite new to the whole programming scene, I would appreciate any help I could, get also I've attached the project file too. =)

S7 300 Profibus fault
Dear All,
We are in need of your expert opinion.
One of the nodes of our Crane's Cabin gives a station failure problem, due to which whole Crane shuts down. we have done everything from replacing Dp connectors to changing Profi cables, swapping modules with other stations, changing Power supplies but the problem remains the same.
Following are the system details,
1. CPU S7 319 F3 fail safe
2. IM 153 interface module
3. OLM module for signal conversion fibre to profibus from main CPU.
We have several nodes after OLM but fault was persistent with 3 nodes. After comprehensive working, it came down to just one but still not diagnosed. I will also upload the diagnostic buffer if needed.

Downgrade Firmware HMI TP1200 Comfort
I can not dowgrade the firmware of a HMI Siemens tp 1200 comfort because it has updated from the portal tia v11 to a version 14. When I try to revert the HMI lock the operating system windows ce. Is there any way to go back to the factory default by doing some jumper on the board or unloading on another port? Because ethernet no longer works to communicate.

Tia Portal v13 HMI Groups edit
Hi
I got a easy one 4 you (I hope)
In Tia Portal v13 i like to set op som grafiks on a KTP400 - I make 25 objects and group them to one, and do this 14 times(14 groups of 25 objects). Now i got 14 bits that I like to use to shift these groups from invisible to visible and back, i know i can do it on one objects at a time, buth can i do it to all 25 objects in the groupe in one go?

HELP! Wiring 1214C DC/DC/DC CPU
I am currently finishing my A.S. in Engineering Technology. My Capstone course is to wire up a complete S7-1200 system using a 1214C DC/DC/DC CPU. There have been no courses that have explained exactly how they are wired. Only programming, which I am pretty good with. There is a 120VAC to 24VDC power supply. They want it to be wired to switches and lights for a simulator. I am just not sure exactly how the I/O's are wired. Is is sinked or sourced? As far as I know, one sends the ground to the output, and one sends the 24v to the output. I would love to speak with someone on how to wire this, as once I graduate, this is what I want to be doing, but I am stuck in a hard place as none of my classes taught us how to wire the PLC's and even worse, the programming class was all about AB PLC's. I have not learned about Siemen's at all. They should be pretty close to the same, but I know there has to be some differences. Also, how they have it set up, there are 2 power supplies on the plastic panel just to the left of the picture. This seems to me as this is a sinking I/O. Am i off?

Siemens S7 200+HMI ESA VT60
Hello. We do not know well in English, so I help through google translator. Sorry.
We are working. PLC Siemens S7 200 CPU 214 and ESA VT60 display. The problem is in communication between PLC and HMI. It is not. The cable is made, but this cable is for the CPU 224. How can I be properly connected and what kind of cable can I use? FTP / UTP? On the PLC side is the profibus connector on the HMI 25Pin. In the case of resistors according to the scheme: http://www.esatechnology.com/old/manuals/vtwin/Hardware%20Manual%20-%20Rel%202_20.pdf page 925 25pin to 9pin, or plug in as it is on page 884?

TIA Portal V13 Assign Profinet Device name
Hello,
I have a Siemens S7-300 using Tia Portal V13. It is connected to an ANYBUS Communicater. The Anybus configuration became corrupted. I reset it per a conversation with a vendor. I need to now reset the device name, as it has been cleared out. The Siemens sets the device name according the the device properties. Right now I get a fault that the anybus is not reachable. Is there a way to reset the device name?
