Problem communicating PLCNext with Siemens S7-1200

arielito · February 2020

Im triying to communicate the PLCnext with the S7-1200, Im using the TiaPortal V15, I download the GSD file from PhoenixContact.com and i put this in the Siemens S7-1200, but i dont know what are the blocks that i can use to send and receive data, I use Profinet because i need this for a demostration in the office , but I can set the PLCnext like a controller because when i want to compile the entire program in the S7-1200 this show me a error saying me he needs a Controller, because for default the PLC Siemens recognize PLCnext like a device.

You know if its posible to set the PLCnext like a controller and set the S7-1200 like a device ?

Hello arielito,

you have to proceed the following steps:

Create a project for S7-1200 in TIA-Portal V15 IDE
Activate the Device Option "IO-Device" in TIA-Portal V15 (see TIA-Portal screenshot below), compile and download the project to S7-1200 controller
Create a project for AXCF2152 controller in PLCnext Engineer IDE
Import the GSD-File for S7-1200 (you can find it on the Siemens page)
Read In the PN-Device (S7-1200 ) in PLCnext Engineer (see PLCnEng screenshot below and follow Steps 1-6)
Now you should be able to echange the PN-Data via Global Array "axc-f-2152-1 / Profinet / PND_S1_OUTPUTS" and "axc-f-2152-1 / Profinet / PND_S1_OUTPUTS" (see last screenchot)
