Support Questions / Re: Siemens "LOGO" 12/24RCEo

« on: April 05, 2022, 08:55:55 AM »

Got it working.  The Siemens Logo needs to be set as the Server and then the addressing is normal for the AHMI.

Inputs = 00001 - 00024  Outputs = 08193 - 08212
Holding Reg   = 40001- 40592

This is not easy to find the right addressing, I have tried the siemens addressing. Error "Invalid first digit in address"
Tried the AHMI 10001 or 40001. Error "Time out"
Laptop = master  Siemens "LOGO" = slave.  Looking for some example of addressing. I will post if I find the trick.

Try using ModbusTCP server in Siemens. If you have to transfer something different than integers, you will have to write some code to convert data, depending on the format. It works pretty well.

Thanks for the reply.  I am just testing. I will give the modbusTCP a try tonight.

Has anyone tried to use AHMI to connect to a Siemens LOGO 12/24RCEo PLC? The s-7 driver will not work so far?

Thanks Larry

Spectre  Thanks for the great explanation it will help some of us if we run into that PLC.

Can you do a Wireshark capture and post the file?

I apologize for the delay. I'm in a bit of a battle with the IT department trying to get wireshark installed so I can get the capture for you. They are fighting it.

I am shocked, my IT department uses wire shark all the time. It's a great tool for them.

Sprungmonkey Thanks for the heads up about "SNAP7" . Looks like a good set for Siemens family.

Thanks again

Godra,  That's a good idea.   
Here is the code I am using.

 Private Sub ReadCom(ByVal ReceiveSerialData() As String)
        ' Receive strings from a serial port.
        Dim returnStr As String = ""
        Dim com1 As IO.Ports.SerialPort

        ' Change this string for the port number
        com1 = My.Computer.Ports.OpenSerialPort("COM27")
        com1.ReadTimeout = 10000
            com1.Open()
        Dim Incoming As String = com1.ReadLine()

        returnStr &= Incoming '& vbCrLf
        If com1 IsNot Nothing Then TextBox1.Text = returnStr

    End Sub

Support Questions / PC serial Ports

« on: October 16, 2019, 07:52:01 AM »

I have a App that needs to read two serial numbers  from the PC serial ports and display in a text box. I am new to VB and can’t seem to get ports to write to the textbox’s. Any ideas on how to do this? I have all but this one machine running the scanners in to the PLC no trouble but PC port's not so sure how.

I received the Protos X components yesterday and used the Free software for configuring them to set the IP. The software scans and gives you the modbus addresses for all the I/O you have connected.  It works great and is very inexpensive.

PX-TCP1 Bus coupler               $253
PX-148   8-point 24VDC IN           $57
PX-248   8-point 24VDC OUT   $66
PX-901       Terminal End Cap         $13.50

I have the Px order coming next week and will set up to try them with AHMI. I’ll post the results.
Thanks

Open Discussion / AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter

« on: September 20, 2019, 07:11:46 AM »

Has anyone tried to use the Modbus TCP driver with an AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter? I have used them with a P-2 550 PLC from AutomationDirect. I will be trying from an AdvancedHMI PanelPC. Hoping to be able to cut down on equipment needed for small projects in our test lab. Like running some test equipment with just a Panel PC and remote I\O ( no PLC )
