Dear colleagues,
Situation:
I want to establish communication between a number of Siemens S7 PLCs using the GET/PUT functions. PLCs are 414-2s with a CP443-1 in the rack each.
My wish:
To have only 1 connection line defined in each configuration (S7 connection to unspecified partner) and then have a generic block in my user program from where the partner-MAC can be called using the connection line as a hook to the plant ethernet.
Why:
So I will need to stop my PLC only once to re-configure the network leaving future connections to be programmed and downloaded without stopping the PLC.
I hope I made the problem clear.
How will I do this?
Looking forward to hear from you all
