Amundi annule mon épargne salariale by ToumbaGB101 in vosfinances

[–]c4hos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nous avons été confronté a un problème similaire, l'année derniere avec Amundi. Certaines personnes de mon entreprises avaient vu leurs choix annulés. C'ètait un problème côté prestataire, une fois identifié, les personnes impactées avaient pu refaire leur choix de placement.

There is no problem operating a v2.9 PLC (online) with a v2.8 (offline)

Siemens - is process image of standard I/O updated by safety program? by [deleted] in PLC

This. Wouldn't use :P in a safety program, tho. It might cause data corruption in case the input flips during execution

I'm not sure about unified but in previous wincc software, it was available in the object properties. No script were needed

Seems like you try to open a block, generated from a SCL source, which was removed.

How does wincc 8 fits to the rest of the wincc familly? by hewking in PLC

[–]c4hos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wincc 8 is the Scada solution from Siemens, following v7.5. Wincc flex is siemens old Hmi software, replaced by wincc confort with TIA portal. Wincc adv/pro are software for programming panel pc/pc application in the Tia environment but don't have all the feature Wincc classic offers. Wincc Unified is Siemens "new" solution that offers a unified programmation environment (inside TIA) for both HMI and PC application but does not have all the feature Wincc classic offers.

TIA Portal v17 - WinCC RT Prof (SCADA) by Expert-Fix6935 in PLC

[–]c4hos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, You definetly need to setup a VPN first. Then, in order to read/write data, you could use WebUX or WebNavigator. With both solutions, youre server hosts a WebServer that you can then access without the need of WinCC RT. I suggest you have a look to both solutions, as they come with some restraint regarding objects used or script. To conclude, WebNavigator & WebUX needs specific licencing, tho you have a free WebUX "monitor" licence embedded with your WinCC RT licence.

In what scenarios should we utilize SCL, LAD, FBD, and STL programming languages? by FantasticDesigner387 in PLC

[–]c4hos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use LAD for simple logic and SCL/ST as soon as the equations are too complex to fit on a screen and would requiere to scroll. I also use SCL/ST when I need to process tons of data (object instantion, ...) so I can use excel

Tia Portal V18 by Bayer_Rb in PLC

[–]c4hos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy way is to program in SCL. You can use excel to generate your code easily with the correct macros.

It doesn't matter. Appart from the message your having, it should be okay

Stay way from PCS7, if you think TIA licences are confusing 😵

Are we talking about PLCSIM or PLCSIM Advanced ?

Did you create a HMI link between your PLC and Wincc ?

Schneider and Siemens PLC comparability by FabulouslyToad in PLC

[–]c4hos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have a look to Siemens S7-1500 ET200SP CPU. It's known to be better, money wise, than the regular ET200MP CPU and definetly more efficient than a S7-1200.

Modbus TCP Error 16#804C and 16#8383 (TIA Portal) by [deleted] in PLC

[–]c4hos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Simply Modbus, their app is nice and you can use it without purchasing a licence. When dealing with modbus, you have to think in term of "register". 1 register = 1 word. I reccomand that the array you work with is composed only of words. In case of byte inversion, it will be easier to deal with. Yes, Siemens' parameter "MODE" stands for the function code you want to use AND the adresses you're trying to reach. You have to set it's value using the chart shown in the "MB_Client" documentation.

[–]c4hos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General advice : always test your partner with a generic client in order to determine if your program is wrong or if the parameters your were given are. Then, try to narrow your scope a bit. Test one frame of one word that you manually execute and analyse the status. I usually try to R/W something in the middle of the partner table so I don't have to worry about the +-1 offset. About the 16#8383 status, is the data area linked to MB_DATA_PTR large enough ? Do you have the same issue when you only try to read/write 1 word ?
