Communication via rs232 v24 having S5 3964R protocol with Selogica controller

Dear All,

I want to communicate with Arburg Selogica controller v3.09 of an old Arburg injection molding machine. The protocol by which this machine can communicate is Siemens S5 3964R through serial R232 V24 C 25 pin port. End goal is to get process data real timely to then send it to kepwareEx server for further analysis. Even though the kepware server has builtin driver for Siemens s5 PLC (S5 3964R protocol), but apparently it can not communicate with Sologica controllers. I have contacted Arburg and according to them I may need to write my own software to read the data from Selogica controller. I don't know where to read data block from i.e. address of the tags etc. I will be thankful if someone can help or give some pointers to resolve this issue. Or a small piece of script to read the data from controller.

Regards
Rizwan

Hi,

Have you got any solution?

You might be able to use an S7-1200 to be a gateway:

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using CM1241 (RS422/485) module. Manual suggesting to use the Recieve_P2P block to get the data.

I'm attaching the Serologica manual, there it describes how the data will come.

Can you please go through it, and suggest me that the Recieve_P2P block itself enough to get the data?

Thanks in Advance!!
