Hi
As some of you know I've been recently trying to set Citect up to talk to an S7 PLC without ANY success. I've tried an CP343-1 ethernet card into an ethernet switch into the PC but to no avail...
Anyway.. I've managed to get hold of a S5-100U PLC. When the job gets installed it will be talking to S5-115U PLC's so this is a better test subject PLC.
I have just tried to set up comms and I can't get the thing to talk. Here's what I did...
I created a Tag that was of type INT and read address D10:0 (which I believe is DB10 Data Word 0)
I put this tag on a test page.
I set up an I/O Device that was using AS511 protocol under the folder for the S5-100U PLC. From COM 1 on my PC.
I then connected the PC to the S5 PLC via my programming lead as this has a RS232 - TTY converter built in.
All I get was a COM error...
Has anyone any ideas how to set up the comms for the S5, or what I'm doing wrong.
Anything you can do to help would be very appreciated.
Cheers
JT
