I work with Modbus TCP/IP Communication on CPU S7-1200.
I've configured MB_Server block V3.1, but after 15 min it stops.
In MB_Server_DB , Static - Request_Count and Server_Message_Count stop to go up, and Connected stays TRUE.
After I STOP and then START the CPU, Request_Count and Server_Message_Count, and Connected are reset. And again it stops after 15 min.
Any ideas?
CPU - CPU 1214C DC/DC/DC.
Firmware - V4.0.
Thank you,

Hi everybody.
I am new in this forum, I will appreciate your help, I am an electrical engineer, currently I work with a tool called IEC TEST PROTOCOL 870 5 101, it is a freeware protocol analyzer, fortunately I didn't found his help or user manual.
Secondly, is there an other freeware protocol tester tool for 870 5-101/104/103 and dnp?
Hello,
I am not sure if this is an appropriate place for this but we are a company that does electrical engineering for material handling systems in north Dallas, TX. We are looking for an experienced Siemens programmer to help train one of our engineers.He is writing a program from scratch and has not worked with Siemens before. We would need this person on-site for a few days to a week and they will be compensated as well as travel expenses paid. Our engineer will have very specific questions to ask as he is very experienced and has been doing this for many years- this is just a new system for him. If you are interested in this opportunity please contact me as soon as possible.

I have a project that run WinCC in a PC that has configuration: Core i5, RAM 4GB, HDD 500GB. WinCC connected to S7-1200. I built a runtime file, and set up Autostart in WinCC RT Start. At the beginning, it took about 1-2 minutes to open the runtime file, but now it takes me about 15 minutes to open it. In this project, I used VBscript to write data to database of Microsoft SQL 2008 in particular event.
Can anyone give me some advise?
Dear All,
I am very new to S7 PLC programming (S7 Simatic Manager v5.5) and I wanted to know how to back-up a system consisting of multiple PLC Stations (S7-1200, S7-300, etc). I am able to upload station to PG but that will save only per station. How about saving the whole system? I am not sure if i am using the right terminology. As you can see, I was given a zip file for the S7 project and it contains the whole system. I am trying to see how the commissioning engineer was able to do it (don't ask why I am not asking him instead). How can I then use this project file to download the program to the PLC/system once I decide to restore. I am at loss and have been searching for references over the internet. Uploading and downloading per station is no problem. I cannot seem to know how to do it on multiple stations system.
I hope I have made some clear question or somehow you have managed to understand it.
TIA.
Hi everyone!
I have 2 PLC 412-3H run paralle (1 Master, 1 Slave). 2 PLC connect profibus network with I/O module S7300 throught 2 IM153-2 module. I have a Getway GW-7552 (DP slave) to change profibus to modbus.How to way i can give GW-7552 in profibus network to system. If i use Y-link (add Y-coupler module), my I/O module is using how to do. Can you support me about this problem.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I had encountered a silly issue. There is one of S400 AI module connected to S300 AI module.
After power on, the reading at PROface(S300 HMI) show half compared with SCADA WinCC(S400 HMI). I had tried to monitor the value from S7 manager reading is correct.
Any idea to solve this issue ? The transmitter is 4-wire.

Hi all,
I had 2 sets of Wincc HMI, 1 is v5 and another is v7.2.
In this case, is it possible to configure "alarm broadcast" to both HMI PC between v5 and v7.2 ?
Alarm broadcast I meant was the when alarm trigger from v7.2 it will appear at v5 HMI as well. and able to acknowledge too.
If possible, any advice without additional software and hardware?

hello guys....How are you all?
im new to siemens plc, so i dont know how to scale analog value in STEP7 plc's?
and also i dont know how to use AI,AO,DI,DO? how to address them?
can anyone help me?
Alight first off, I'm NOT a siemens guy, Second thanks in advance for any and all advice.
So i'm working on a large data collections project, been now handed part of this project that is completely out of my depth but this is what i have found.
I trying to retrieve data from a large cnc machining center, it has a Sinumerik control on it. Kepware nor Prosoft PLX32-EIP-SIE are able to communicate with the controller. Comms are rejected by the server. Its and industrial PC.
So i was able to get into the back end of the controller and do some poking around and it appears as if the problem in simply that a Industrial Ethernet Driver has not been configured.
And i've found the following documents to support my theory.
I did figure out how to add the ethernet driver,in simatic manager however at this point what needs done? Do you have to download to the controller? I'm a little leery of making any changed just because i have backed anything up and saved it first, i don't know how. I just don't want to mess anything up. It let me add it but im treading lightly here, i'm not going to save anything to someone confirms my process.
Anyway does anyone have any thoughts or input?
Hi guys,
currently working on the communication with videojet 1620 printer (Continuous Inkjet Marking), in there operators manual (http://www.videojet.com/content/dam/Countries/North%20America/Operator-Manuals/CIJ/1620-Operator-Manual.pdf) the say :
- How to Configure Ethernet Port
Refer to WSI/ESI Communications Protocol addendum for more
information.
But cant find this addendum anywhere in the web, all i did found is this pdf attached "Videojet 1510 and 1210 Simple Communications Protocol".
I'have try it with th eprinter using the Ethernet port and all i can find open is the FTP(21), 3000, 3001 and VNC(5900). An d i have send same packets from the WSI/ESI to the print via 3000 and 3001 with Packet Sender but the response was empty!!
is there any one that know this protocol ESI/WSI or did work with this printer or simillar ?
i found this info in the FTP folder :
