S7-XXX Ethernet Protocol

Supported Series: Siemens S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500

1）PLC Setting

Slot from TIA Portal is equal to Device No. of V-net

Rack from TIA Portal is equal to HMI No. of V-net

2）Address List

3）Configure the communication protocol

✎Note:

• The S7-1200 supports simultaneous connection of three devices, so the driver supports simultaneous access to PLC by three V-BOX.
• V-BOX access PLC, use S7 protocol, access PLC TSAP 02.01 (s7-1200 PROFINET interface only supports three connections, the default support), detailed reference to the system manual of S7-1200.

Read the temperature sensor.

the commond format is as beliow:

Send commond:01 03 02 00 00 03 04 73

Feedback commond:01 03 06 07 F7 0E 7E B7 35

Temperature data:07 F7,desimal = 2039,it means temperature is 20.39℃.

Humidity data:0E 7E,desimal = 3710, it mean humidity is 37.10%RH.
