S7-317PN/DP comms to slave via UDP

Hello,

I have a current project that involves adding a new load cell amplifier to an existing machine control system. Adding new analogue inputs to the existing I/O is a possibility but I noted that the device can communicate by UDP and wondered if there were any examples/advice out there.

I did find an example of two PLCs communication over UDP: https://support.industry.siemens.co...rface-of-an-s7-300-s7-400-cpu-?dti=0&lc=en-WW

CPU S7 317PN/DP programmed with Simatic Manager V5.5 and also has an MP270 HMI programmed with WinccFlexible2008.

The goal is to display measured tensions on the HMI.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Thanks for that, I'll have a play.
