Hi everybody this is my first post, hope you can find the time to help me out here
I'm developing an installation with a S7 1512SP-1 PN and two ET 200SP Slaves.
Each station manages a set of three hydraulic machines, which manage several DIs and AIs, the most important being the weight cells.
The tools we produce have USB2.0 outputs which tell the pressure applied to obtain such weights, and I'd like to have this data on the Slaves and PLC, in order to make comparisons, charts, and databases .
I found this module: 6ES7 137-6AA00-0BA0, it provides a RS-232 Port, I guess I could convert the USB cable to RS-232 and plug it in. Not really sure if the module is valid for my PLC&Slaves, my software being TIA Portal V13.
I don't really know what the next step would be as in data management, the module's .pdf says it controls 8Bytes of inputs, but I can't find more detailed info, besides a manual in German, which I don't happen to speak.
I'd greatly thank any insights on this.
