Hey,
I have just finished doing a project with a Compact logix CPU sending messages (instructions) over UDP to a third party sensor. Did this to change the parameters from the PLC. We call it "Open Socket". - Can upload the program if you're interested.
Now I thought it would be a good idea to work out how to do this with a Siemens S7-1200/1500.
Has anyone done this?
I was looking at TCON, TSEND, TRCV However in the help files it only mentions TCP and not UDP.
So, I dug deeper and seen UCON, USEND etc. It Mentions "uncoordinated" I guess UDP is uncoordinated so it sounds like what I need?
I'll keep chipping away at this but feel free if you've done this before to drop any hints/tips in.
Thanks
