Hello Everyone,
I am currently working on a project and i am stuck in it and I am using RSConnectDIOToSnap7 Smart component in Robot Studio to communicate to the Siemens PLC via NetToPLC. The bits in the data block are able to toggle but the inputs %Ix.y are not able to toggle. I would want this to be toggled in the PLC.
In the GitHub it is mentioned to use the format for DO in smart component as: Ex.y Ix.y. I have tried both the ways but i am unable to toggle the inputs of the PLC. If there is anyone who could tell me what i am doing wrong please tell me because I am able to toggle the memory and datablock bits but not the inputs. I am using PLCSim Advanced 4.0 and TIA V17 with Robot Studio Version 25.5.11605.0. Any help would be highly appreciated.
This is the GiHub for the smart component that i have used: GitHub - DenisFR/RSConnectDIOToSnap7: RobotStudio Smart Component to connect to SIEMENS PLC using Snap7 library. · GitHub
Thank you.
Hello,
Are your PLC inputs mapped to a device in Device Configuration?
Hi Dennis,
Thank you fro your reply. Yes the inputs are mapped to a device. The input that i want to trigger is mapped to Robot 2 device as shown in the network diagram below. Would it be possible to trigger/toggle this?
Not sure as your device rewrite it.
Can you test defining in other range?
I have tried defining it in another range as well but still unable to toggle the inputs. But, I did try to set the Process Image of the Robot 2 Device to None for that similar range and it worked, but if i set the Process Image as Automatic then it would not be able to toggle the inputs. The Process Image was set to Automatic by the installation team and I am unsure if i can make the virtual comissioning work in this method or maybe there would be some other way around it. So, this is already a working system physically and i am making a virtual commissioning from this working model.
